No I wouldn't forgive, I realise that might sound terrible. But I've lived and what stopped me throwing bricks onto the cars below where I lived on the UK motorway (like a freeway only faster).
What stopped me raping, what stopped me stabbing my childhood bully?
ME! I DID. I have empathy and knew that I might kill someone throwing a brick onto a car going at 70 + mph.
Yes, fear of punishment was part of it, fear of letting my family down but even if I knew I could get away with a horrible crime I never did them.
It's all too easy to do something truly bad and then go 'boo hoo' please forgive me.
Sorry is easy to say. Sorry does not make amends, sorry doesn't cut it. It's not enough.
I think 25 years is too long for this crime but 6 months is not enough. A stupid prank might be throwing a water bomb at a person. Letting off a stinkbomb.
A criminally dangerous stupid action is the above.
