Such a "waste of life". On one hand, the guy doesn't really look like a "bad guy" with a habit of nefarious or negligent doing, and nobody got hurt in the accident. On the other hand, we simply cannot let thing type of careless action go unpunished.<p>Nobody in his entourage told him it was a bad idea ?
I was a little unsettled by some of the bloodlust around this guy, with people saying quite seriously that he should face even a life sentence for what he did. (Personal aviation folks, mostly.)<p>But on the other hand, 6 months seems incredibly lenient. What do people here feel?
