i find 3 years <i>in prison</i> for this kind of youthful indiscretion to be outrageous. <i>maybe</i> 3 weeks, but not 3 years. all for slapping eggs on the faces of &quot;serious and important&quot; people.<p>i&#x27;m fine if a goldman middle-manager gets 3 years in prison for embezzlement, because that actually affects real people adversely, but this is excessively punitive, to say the least.
