They made it sound like he assaulted someone ar first but it does seem to have been just a (offensive) gesture after repeatedly requesting they leave him alone.

Disproportionate is an understatement especially considering the already tense climate.

Song would have gotten good points for sure aswell.

He got the second place (182 out of 216 possible points, that's an insanely good result, even better than Croatia in their semi-final) in the semi-final so he would have been very likely top 5.

The assault part was complete speculation from a news website iirc.

I don’t think so considering Windows95man did poorly

I couldn’t tell myself but my wife said the other singer on stage (Henri) sung lots of false notes.
