John Hirschbeck was living in Poland, Ohio, a suburb of Youngstown, Ohio (my home town) when the spitting incident happened.
The fact that John came to terms with Alomar is fine with me.  That said, I would not be able to come to terms with such a scum bag.  I would just move on with my life and forget him.  He would not be worth my time and effort.  I guess it is the old Mafia Code of:  "Don't get even, get revenge."  
I have said all that I am going to say on this matter.  I am glad that John was able to move on.
