Glad to hear this ended so justly.

Good story, thanks for sharing. I'm glad the man was able to defend himself.

Actually, this left a bad taste in my mouth. The Daily Mail has a good fair use argument, I'm sure, to take images that they wouldn't otherwise have rights to (that aren't copyright to Facebook, as they indicated, but to the man or the photographer). But, their intent in doing so was to cast the man in a bad light or make fun of the man, which isn't good journalism and the story alone should have been enough to stand on it's merits. Then again, I am not 100% familiar with the type of publication the Daily Mail is.
