The Idiot Files Continued

21-year-old Shaun Morris has just been sentenced to 60 days in jail, in addition to the month he has already spent behind bars. Mr. Morris has been incarcerated for his choice of an impromptu urinal. The site he chose was a war memorial in downtown Sudbury. Judge Guy Mahaffy didn't buy Morris' claim that he was too drunk at the time to know what he was doing, and that if he had known, he would never have relieved himself there.
When he was seen by police, Morris fled on foot and was able to lead them on a chase before they caught him, with the help of a passerby. That really doesn't sound like the limited capability of someone so inebriated he can't tell what he's using for a privy.
The only thing is that I would like to nominate the defending lawyer to join Mr. Morris in the Idiot Files. He drew the attention of the court to the defendant's "young age" and the fact that he recently became a father as supposed reasons why he should be released. If anything, those might be reasons to jot off a quick sympathy note to the idiot's offspring, but not to spare him the responsibility of paying for his actions. He showed incredible disregard for those who have risked their lives, and/or lost them to give Morris and all the rest of us a country where we are considered to have rights, where we can enjoy the freedom bought for us with the blood spilled on far too many battlefields.
If anything, I think the 60 days was far too lenient a judgment.
