Looks like the judge felt jail time would have more impact than paying
fines.  Could be part of the national trend to crack down on bullies.  I 
hope awareness of his sentence and fines makes it to the general PWC crowd.

Would have been nice to see the judge sentence the guy to community service 
including beach clean-ups organized by local paddling clubs where he would 
be working alongside kayakers.  

I wonder if the judge is a fisherman... :-)
