So much for all the talk about whether the CPL Dave sentence was
fair or what.
Few of them probably realise we're talking a about a MILITARY
organisation here and a potentially spectacular shooting case.
Sure, the sentence is harsh, but rules are rules and the poor
fellow definitely knew what to expect.
I won't post this at SAF forum because the people there
crapping are kids who are barely out of puberty.
Nine years is kinda light in my opinion.
The fact is that he stole a weapon, stole some live rounds, and
was thinking of using it to threaten his ex to get back with
him.
He may have had a lot of hard knocks in life, but so have many
others. And you don't see all of them going around stealing weapons
to threaten others.
Since he was demented enough to think that he could make someone
love him at gunpoint, then it's not a stretch to imagine him
actually pulling the trigger.
