4 years for what?
So, you all remember that nightclub fire in RI.. killed about 100 people when a rock band's pyrotechnics went crazy and burned the club down. Well the band's manager, who started up the pyrotechnics, was just sentenced to 4 years in jail.
Now, I ask, am I the only one who thinks that this was a little much? The man is not a criminal, he's just a dumbass who made a bad decision. The decision may have inadvertently killed 100 people, but I'm sure more than a handful of us are responsible for more misery as a result of some "butterfly effect." What he did was dumb, but in no way was it criminal. It was negligent, but jailtime is a little out of control. By putting him in jail, you're putting him with the people who purposefully made it a point to fuck with other people. His only crime was trying to entertain.
I think it's a very sad verdict and I think that all the people who wanted him to go to jail for longer need a better grip on reality.
