The drinking and driving laws are strange in this country. Someone can kill a person while drinking and driving and if ruled involuntary manslaughter you just get 30 days in jail and probation. But if you shoot YOURSELF in the leg at a club you get two years in prison.

He shot himself. HIMSELF!!! And he still got two years? Don't you think shooting yourself is punishment enough? He didn't kill anyone. I understand it was an illegal discharge but he didn't kill someone but got a heavier sentance than the guy that did. Makes absolutely no sense and don't even try to defend it!

The other guy's sentence has nothing to do with it.

Shooting yourself is not a punishment. Someone that shoots themselves clearly has no grasp of the power a frikken gun in your pocket has.

He had no holster and was wearing sweatpants. In a nightclub. He got what he deserved. What a moron.

I get all of this but my argument is that he got 2 years in prison and the guy who killed someone got 30 days in jail.
