My example was a little apples to oranges, I admit. But it just seems to me to be excessive punishment. Even if the guy is a wacko, and he sure seems to be one, there must be some other way to handle him/her other than throwing them in prison for 4 or 5 years. And who needs new laws to help us live our lives. Not me.
neither do I but I also am not someone that would do something like this... these are not laws to help us live our lives, but laws to punish those who choose not to live in the bounds of normal society.
