This is punishable by 20 years and a $250,000 fine.

This idiot should serve every day and pay every penny.

I hope the punishment is multiplied for each plane attacked.

What kind of vile scum does this?

Bet I can guess how they vote.

[PROCON]

Make this idiot an example and throw the book at him and lock him up.

It will strongly discourage other laser morons.

Was his name Achmed or Mohammed?

Idiots

We have even had these type of idiots at youth rodeos, trying to hit the horse in the eye during a run.

Never caught anyone but put a good size crowd to searching.

NBC News guy Brian Williams is claiming he was there!

Way back in 1965 I was in high school, and I lived pretty close to Fort Campbell, Kentucky. While out "camping" one summer weekend, I shined a bright flashlight at a flight of Hueys. All six of those puppies turned around and landed in the field where we were, and troops poured out of each one.

I learned escape and evasion that night. I bet the troops had a ball scaring the living hell out of us.

You can buy these hand-held little lasers for $4-5 dollars in any tourist trap, or even Walmart.

The kids that buy them have no frikken clue how bad these can be on aircrew. Then green ones are especially bad, and the beam diffuses at range, getting much larger.
