Instead, they landed him in hot water, and permanent imprisonment). I hope that, whilst imprisoned, he gets sodomised to within an inch of his life.

WTH is SARCASAM? Sounds like a prescription antacid. But I do agree with Ed that he should be set free since he's an artist. lol@ Shut-Up Ed misspelling sarcasm twice while flaunting his “advanced degrees” in the same post. WTH is SARCASAM?

What is your job in the military exactly?" 1) WTF? Is this sarcasam or was that really intended to be a dig? Terrible. Since I'm not a professional movie-news-blog-comment-submitter - I wasn't aware any level of "professionalism" was required... 2) I could tell you what my job is, but then I would have to kill you. However, I will give you a hint - it's the exact opposite of setting bad guys free and I have more advanced degrees than you have inches on your prick. And Rusty - I just want you to know, that all of us over here are really proud of you... Whatever it is YOU do. I'm sure whatever it is, it's far more important than what I am doing here - I'm sure you have sacrificed JUST as much as I have for your country - and I have no doubt that you are constantly meeting strangers - from all over the world - who want nothing more than to thank you when they see you, and strangers who want to buy you drinks, and old ladys who try to give you money while their husbands climb out of wheelchairs to shake your hand, and kids who write you letters. And Rusty, I know that 20 years from now you will undoubtedly have better stories than I to tell your grandchildren about your job, about what they are reading in their history books, and the role you played in shaping an entire country, and about life and death, about gratitude, about sacrifice, and about good and evil. I know, beyond the shadow of a doubt - you receive just as many letters as I from young men - who risk their lives every day out here - who have more courage in their little finger than you do in your whole body - thanking YOU - and telling YOU that they consider YOU a mentor. No doubt in my mind, buddy. (see, now THAT was sarcasam) Gotta go back to work. Have a great day. Please, go grab a beer and some real food, check out a movie, get a good 8 hours of sleep, hug your wife, pet your dog, and enjoy the coming weekend for me. Rusty -

1) WTF? Is this sarcasam or was that really intended to be a dig? Terrible. Since I’m not a professional movie-news-blog-comment-submitter – I wasn’t aware any level of “professionalism” was required…

2) I could tell you what my job is, but then I would have to kill you. However, I will give you a hint – it’s the exact opposite of setting bad guys free and I have more advanced degrees than you have inches on your prick.

And Rusty – I just want you to know, that all of us over here are really proud of you… Whatever it is YOU do. I’m sure whatever it is, it’s far more important than what I am doing here – I’m sure you have sacrificed JUST as much as I have for your country – and I have no doubt that you are constantly meeting strangers – from all over the world – who want nothing more than to thank you when they see you, and strangers who want to buy you drinks, and old ladys who try to give you money while their husbands climb out of wheelchairs to shake your hand, and kids who write you letters.

Gotta go back to work. Have a great day. Please, go grab a beer and some real food, check out a movie, get a good 8 hours of sleep, hug your wife, pet your dog, and enjoy the coming weekend for me.

But i do live in utah so thats where the stricter sentencing comes from. sense his was California it's a wonder he didn't get community service. i’m sorry, but to me, in this case, he got a cut and dry deal with less jail time then he deserves. if that was me, or you, or anybone else, it would be jail for more then just 1 year.

I didn't say he wasn't too blame. I said one year isnt too lenient. @ Once, I was talking to a friend and he didn’t seem drunk…then I got in the car with him and realized he was way too drunk to drive. The same might’ve happened here. fair enough. @ SET HIM FREE HE’S AN ARTIST!!! Once again SU Ed acting with the maturity and professionalism that makes us proud oversees. What is your job in the military exactly? @ k, but he accepted responseability when he chose to drive.

That being said, I hope he can still write screenplays in a minor-security prison, as i'm intrigued by the two movies he's preparing.
