So much for Security at the Olympics

"Man gets one-year suspended sentence for grabbing marathoner
August 30, 2004

ATHENS, Greece (AP) -- A defrocked Irish priest with a history of disrupting sports events was given a one-year suspended sentence and fined $3,600 Monday for grabbing a runner who was leading the Olympic marathon with three miles to go."

I feel badly for the runner, so close to a gold medal and you get accosted by some meshugehneh.

I don't know what a meshugeneh is but agree with you, the guy should have been punished more for wrecking the runner's chances for gold.

It is Yiddish and you can think of it as meaning "a crazy person."
