Well, on the radio this morning they said they arrested that guy who pointed a laser at an airplane and helicopter. They said under the patriot act, he could get up to 25 years in jail..

This seems a little extreme to me, considering that hired killers get out in less than 10 years.. Other murders have only served 3-5 years. Now, I realize that if he gets 25 years, he may not have to serve them all.

But, what's your opinion on an appropriate punishment?
