Why I am uneasy about coverage of Jim Davidson's arrest

I have never been a Jim Davidson fan. I didn't like his gags or his political views. Once forced to sit through one of his live stand-up performances, I thought his act stank. That said, the rest of the audience seemed to love it and I certainly admired his professionalism. I am concerned on his behalf, however, after seeing today's national newspaper coverage of his arrest.
