Condignity?

The Register is running this warm and fuzzy, feel-good story about mercy, understanding and second chances:

Florida prosecutors have decided not to pursue Andrew "don't tase me, bro" Meyer through the courts if he keeps his nose clean during 18 months probation.

He'll soon be allowed to resume his studies. Campus cops had recommended he be sent to the big house for resisting arrest with violence."

The Register was even thoughtful enough to include this light and humorous music video montage, making light and frivolous his disruptive antics.
