Reaction to Peeping Tom sentencing

Michael David Barrett agreed to a 27-month sentence for interstate stalking ESPN personality Erin Andrews. Andrews will be spending her days Dancing with (D-List) Stars and being kept at arms-length distance from the feverish cult following she had built up online before the... unpleasantness. The crazy part of this final piece of this story is below.

ESPN posted the story, and the shit that commentors are spewing is just disappointing ridiculous. You can check it out for yourself here but I've included some of the highlights for you to marvel at. Only the best.

tanaka7 (3/15/2010 at 6:11 PM) Report Violation i wonder how long they will give the 16 year olds that peep into the girls locker room. maybe 25 to life if its 2.5 for every girl they see.
jarvi02 (3/15/2010 at 6:17 PM) Report Violation If I looked half as nice as Erin Andrews I would have been paying the guy for that video.

anyone else feel a little bad that they enjoyed the video so much BEFORE all this stalking stuff came to light?
nope
pizzasquirrel (3/15/2010 at 6:31 PM) Report Violation we get it, he stalked her, it was planned, three cities, no one is arguing that. What is being argued is the punishment, that it is excessive. Christ, probation, a fine and a restraining order would probably do the trick.
