      Well you’re amazed at the low punishment, right?

      But why? What good would a harsher penalty do?

      Yes, they made a reckless move that could have endangered someone else’s life. Luckily it didn’t.

      Now if we punish this person further, and lock them up for X years they’ve now become a burden on all of society and when they get out they’ll constantly be at a disadvantage (I.e. employment, housing, banking, etc), increasing the chances of them committing other crimes to survive.

      Not to mention, it’s 99.99% safe to say this dickhead won’t be a repeat offender and committing this again, so yeah why think in terms of punishment?

        Too much bad intent not to punish this behavior but I see your points also. But this is a big issue, people need to understand that others can get injured.
