The thing I thought was interesting when I read this the other day was that he pleaded guilty, which usually means a lesser sentence is served.
He appears to have accepted he was wrong and is prepared to take his punishment, so I was surprised by the length of sentence too.
Obviously what he did was dangerous and idiotic. I'm in no way defending what he did, not questioning that he deserves punishment. Like Ron though, it struck me as out of kilter with what you tend to see.
