You don't know what I saw. I haven't been talking about it. But we've never seen Wideman ‘throw a brutal, anger fueled hit’ at any other time in his career. If he's so unhinged that he has the mens rea to do that to a linesman, why did he never do it to another player?
It appears to me that according to the narrative you're constructing, Wideman is a dangerously violent psychopath who belongs behind bars. That's grossly excessive.

Well since player on player violence isn't what we're talking about, then I disagree that it matters whether it was the cleanest hit in hockey. This is more like a bar fighter hitting a cop.
And how is the first incident an excuse? Does that get you off? Sorry, your honour. It's my first time breaking a neck". "Oh, well, you're free to go, but next time, it's curtains!".
