as for 'no one was hurt', that has nothing to do with it. a whole lot of people sitting in jail right now wish they could use that defense, which really isn't one.
and i disagree that the sentence in this case was for others as well. it's in line with the crimes he was charged with and found guilty of committing.

There is no doubt that he committed a crime here and that he should be paying a price for it. It was a stupid thing to do and the wrong way to handle things and he's got to face the music. There is no debating or denying that. That nobody was hurt, I wasn't saying it should be a defense. But I do feel like it should be a factor in determining punishment. What was he in there trying to take? That should be considered also. I'm just having a hard time seeing how this punishment fit this crime.
