It may have been more for his playing football in the graveyard and "rowdy" behaviour. An appropriate gif for older folks.

"It was hilarious" occupies a strange legal gray space between self-defense and straight up crime. There's no explicit precedent I'm aware of but I've read plenty of cases where the sentence clearly indicated the judge took a jovial intent rather than malice into account.

He was pissed up and was being a general pain in the arse. He didn’t say even have a white sheet for a costume. £35 isn’t much of a fine either.

I was in Pompey at the time. Hilarious. Also, my fellow citizens seem to be easily spooked, what with the clown boy also making it into the papers and on to the national broadcaster... for being dressed as... a clown.
