Eh, I think this is probably a pretty par for the course punishment. Folks are always shocked at the light (sometimes nonexistent) sentences for well publicized crimes, not realizing the sentence received is usually very normal. That's how you end up with people tortured for years by their neighbors, people with dozens of DUIs, repeat sex offenders, etc. Sentencing for a lot of crimes really isn't all that harsh.

I agree with this. The point of making a deal and letting non-violent, otherwise productive citizens off with light sentences is to not clog up with courts and jails with these guys.

I'm sure drug dealers would appreciate this sort of light sentencing.

+1. I wonder what his punishment would have been if he had been a young black male.

Or if he had been an active duty military member. He would have been fired and had his career ended.

Jeff is right now deleting anything critical of this irrelevant comment, while letting it stand. And we wonder why people (should) scream BLACK PRIVILEGE

Actually, I deleted posts that hijacked this thread to cover the same topic that is being covered in another thread. Maybe we should scream TROLL PRIVILEGE.

Not true. The specific posts here were very different in nature, responding to this supposed skin-specific privilege.

Dude, what do you need from me to get a clue? This thread is not for you to discuss your latest obsession. If you want to discuss an unrelated topic, do it in an unrelated thread. You may have thought you were discussing what you describe here, but as the subsequent posts that I also deleted explained, you were comparing apples and oranges.

Simple. We just need some consistency. Random Pentagon guy does something bizarre and we're discussing that. Then a couple of posters try to make it a white vs. black affair. You allow them. Then someone else (me) attacks that hijacking of the thread. You delete my (perfectly rational, not insulting) comments.

Why not same standards for all?

Again, why are you hijacking this thread? We have an entire forum for this sort of discussion. But, the "white vs black" posts pertained to his light sentence and were therefore relevant. You attempted to compare this case in which was settled and punishment decided upon to a case in which there have been no criminal charges filed, let alone any findings of guilt or any punishment. Moreover, if there is an investigation and criminal wrong-doing is uncovered -- you have no idea of the race of anyone that might be charged. Your entire post was based on your own assumptions that aren't supported by fact. Further posts from you that are off-topic in this thread will be deleted. So, please don't waste your time or mine.

My black neighbor is much worse. He's never done anything like like this, BUT he does stalk out the neighbors and complain about the most pathetic stuff.

Okay. We've established that douches come in a variety of colors. Big deal.

What's interesting here is that this guy still apparently has his security clearance and what is undoubtedly going to transpire over the next 48 hours concerning his job and said clearance.

He's one of those Do you know who I am ? things.

kind of like a few on here.

Setting aside whether he would have gotten harsher punishment if different race, it does seem that he got off very easily. I don't know what he could potentially have faced, I just mean that his crimes were so profoundly creepy and disruptive it surprises me he essentially is simply compensating them for their out of pocket expenses.

This guy will be drawn and quartered in social media. Don't worry, there's punishment coming down the line-- I doubt he'll have his job for long.
