this guy is too stupid to live. he needs permanent adult supervision. seeing news like this makes me thing that maybe singapore has the right idea about punishment. i think four or five hundred lashes of a rattan cane might set that guy's head straight

corporal punishment works well.
properly argued, the person could be charged with attempted murder and terrorism. a blinded pilot could quite easily become disoriented and lose control ending in a crash happening in a urban setting.
you are of course entitled to your view, just as i am to mine. as for it being cruel and unusual, i think being blinded at night while piloting a helicopter justifies a very, very, physical punishment. the guy is obviously unable to follow simple directions safety directions nor is he able to obey federal and state laws regarding point lasers at aircraft.
the law calls for up to 5 years in prison and up to a $250k fine.
hes a loser who cant pay a substantive fine. why should the government pay his room and board in prison - do you want him to spend five years in prison knowing it costs fl about $22k per year
how much of that 100k would you, personally, be willing to pay to keep him from being whipped

The guy is playing around with a laser pointer. That's hardly something that should trigger corporal punishment.
Also you gave the federal law punishment, in Florida it's up to 5 years and/or a fine up to $5000. A competent defense attorney will probably be able to get him less than a year of prison and a fine (maybe no jail time and just a fine).

I was going to ask what the specific charges he might be facing, but the article cleared that right up:
