I thought the HN title meant the purported jailing did not "exist". You might want to substitute in "Nonexistent Crime" for "Crime Doesn't Exist".

The title in the article includes the word “that”, which is clearer.

> accused of failing to stop the fight

This accusation sounds absurd. How is it the responsibility of the bystanders to stop the fight?

I know that part three details how people ended up in this situation. It is still very absurd.

Are there other reporting on this story? I read about halfway through and it is just unreal.
