Poetic Justice For Man charged in Olympic bottle throwing incident

LONDON (AP) Olympic officials on Monday sharply criticized a man who was arrested for allegedly throwing a plastic bottle onto the Olympic track before the men's 100-meter final, but officials and competitors said the unpleasant incident did not affect the showcase event.

Sebastian Coe, chairman of the London organizing committee, said there would be "zero tolerance" for anti-social behavior.

"Throwing a bottle on to the field of play is unacceptable, it's not just unacceptable at an Olympics Games but at any sporting event and anybody who does that will be removed," he said.

Coe said there was some "poetic justice" involved because the suspect had been sitting next to a judo star who hit him after he allegedly threw the bottle Sunday night. Coe cautioned, however, that he was not supporting a vigilante response.

That's how you use your judo skills outside the ring: to nab a criminal.

Congrats, Edith Bosch, for preventing a more serious incident.

I say, this simply is not done. This man may be hearing from our solicitors about this, the accursed mountebank.
