really?

explain for everyone why you are alright with the possibility of blinded pilot crashing his aircraft in an urban area. does human life mean so little to you that you consider this a childish prank?

his action was a blatant disregard for the lives of others and should be dealt with in a fashion that he never be able to forget.

So beat a man savagely because of the possibility he could've caused an aircraft crash? Are you going to beat your child if they spill water on the floor because someone could have slipped on it and gotten hurt?

What was the helicopter doing over a residential area anyways? If it wasn't being used in a search and rescue or providing assistance for an active police operation then it shouldn't have been in the air. Using a helicopter to "patrol" is nothing more than wasting taxpayer money in the name of government surveillance.

Personally I think the pilot committed entrapment because he saw the guy messing around with the pointer and moved closer, which probably drew the guy's attention and he pointed the laser in that direction much like someone would do with a flashlight. Then pilot claims it was shined in his eyes so that they could charge this guy with a third degree felony.

Don't dodge my question:

how much of that 100k would you, personally, be willing to pay to keep him from being whipped

Since this is a hypothetical question: All of it and I'd pay for his appeals based on violation of his 8th amendment rights.
