Still trying to get my head around the fact that some stupid young adult tossed a chair from a balcony with no regard to possible consequences. I'm generally pretty forgiving but when I see that someone has no regard for life...I'd like to see her spend her 20's in prison. Maybe that would wipe that stupid smirk from her face.
How is what she did any worse than drivers passing cyclists with no room to spare, or speeding down streets where kids are playing.
Any of these acts are illegal, and put other people's lives in danger while they are simply - and lawfully - going about their daily business.
You can speed down the street and not get caught.
You can speed down the street and get fined.
You can speed down the street and hit someone who innocently crosses your path, injuring them.
You can speed down the street and hit someone who innocently crosses your path, killing them.
You can drive (under the speed limit) down the street while over the legal limit for intoxication, with any of the above outcomes.
Each of these sets of scenarios have you doing the exact same illegal act, yet the punishments vary widely. And so it is no different with the idiot throwing the chair. Just because millions of drivers break the law Every Single Day doesn't make their actions any less stupid.
