The act WAS deliberate - what other intent do you suppose he thought would happen - and does it matter?
If he thought that the anchor would skip along the wake of the ship, throwing up beautiful rainbows of Skittles - I don't care.
Being drunk is no excuse ..... ever ..... for anything.
What could have happened, could have been catastropic - people could have been hurt of killed. This was done with complete disregard for anyone else - for kicks. I simply want him rewarded with the full consequences allowed by law.
Of course, if the anchor had landed on a N Korean submarine trailing them, en route to torpedo off shore deep ocean oil platforms, then he would be a hero.
