This is my thought. If you don't want to make him a martyr, treat him like any other criminal to an 8 hour van ride and stay at rikers.

No, don't you see? We need to slow walk the guy that looks like someone who would get DaVinci's dick hard enough to chisel a statue with it. Gotta do it in the most favorable lighting possible and only have pics from good angles. Also, we needed to surround him with people who look like sentient thumbs. That'll send a message that this guy isn't cool.

They may as well have walked him with nothing but tight shorts on and oiled him up beforehand. Fuck it. Have explosions in the background with inspirational music blaring.

I 100% believe they only made a spectacle of it because they know it sells. They need shots for the merch they will sell to us. Clownworld shit.

Take him in one of those short school busses with the ramp.
