In America he would have gone to jail, been bonded out, charged with a felony, and sued by his neighbors.
Felony reckless endangerment or something. A state persecutor, I mean, prosecutor, would stand up and blether about how someone could have been walking by and got nailed on the head by a terminal-ballistic PC.
The reason why there's such a high rate of lawsuits is because of profitability since many many frivolous lawsuits are successful and that American's aren't allowed to go into fisticuffs anymore because Americans are jsut too civilised of a people.
I know a soldier who acted in a similar fashion..... He comes back from barhopping drunk (as usual). He can't get his VCR to work, so he throws it off the barracks balcony where it breaks into pieces. Then he realizes there isn't anything worthwhile on Korean TV, so why does he need a TV without a VCR? So....off the balcony it goes!

No, be honest, garamet, which of us hasn't at times wanted to see the hardware splintering on the tarmac below.
Defenestration, huh? I have an interview with one of my beloved local politicos tomorrow. A good, old fashioned defenestration could serve as an example for them to stop their BS when talking to me
