I'm kind of divided about this one. On the one hand, I think a sentence more in line with attempted murder would be appropriate.

On the other hand, *CENSORED* him - it's a miracle he didn't kill anyone.

On the other-other hand, this famous Heinlein quote about stupidity would seem to apply:

"Stupidity cannot be cured with money, or through education, or by legislation. Stupidity is not a sin, the victim can't help being stupid. But stupidity is the only universal capital crime; the sentence is death, there is no appeal, and execution is carried out automatically and without pity."

But there is the point: HE DIDN'T KILL ANYONE. Murderers and rapists are back out on the street in less than a dime and the town drunk goes to jail for life! And from the look of this thread, most FReepers here agree with it. I don't know which of those things is the greater travesty.
