re: #463 Fat Bastard Vegetarian

Okay, I am sufficiently chagrined, back from my four hour self-imposed suspension for being a dumb-ass.

So, the guy who pointed the lasers at the planes out of 40 years of potential jail time, was sentenced to two and a half years.

Is that proper? That strikes me as a judicial “no harm/no foul” sentence; there could’ve been some kinda harm there.

It was a serious offense and merited a felony conviction, but no one was actually injured. 2 1/2 years sounds about right. Enough to mark the offender for life, but not ruin them utterly.
