12 months for a drunken threat...fair or harsh?
There's now a good chance he won't do it again.
For that matter, there's now a good chance a bunch of other people also won't try the same stunt.
I say again:
Isn't it about time that each and everyone of us take responsibility for our own behaviour, rather than trying to blame our own shortcomings on somebody else?
I fear we have bred a whole generation of infantiles that refuse to take responsibility for their failings.
If you can't handle your drink...guess what?...stop drinking!
If you display anti-social or aggressive behaviour in the real world, be prepared for a kick up the arse...or if you wish to avoid discipline, stay at home with Mommy.
