What did we learn about firing off an AK in crowded streets for attention? Thats right, ita a Friday kinda thing not a Wednesday thing. Also only took them most of a decade for this ruling lol.

This judge delayed and delayed until the very last moment. Even in the pre-sentencing hearing back in January, it stretched over 3 days or so. I think her conduct will form part of the appeal honestly.

Takes a decade for a gun charge, I would be appealing too lol. Imagine if it took 30 years to secure a 15 year conviction. Talk about a waste of money

If he actually serves longer than 30 days in prison, I will eat my hat. There is no actual jail time to this "5 year sentence" more than a token stint in prison, then out on humanitarian reasons due to poor health or some such. Just refer to Schabir Shaik or Jacob Zuma as examples. This sentencing is a comedic performance that fools nobody.
