book fair organisers should sue him for a stampede which he has caused by pretending he has a bomb. Hundreds of people run away from the hall. 

He is a very wealthy businessman, organisers can get their loses covered

With the halls being so packed, thankfully there were no death from the stampede

Absolutely crazy that they can let a guy go free that has released cobra's into a city center and attacked a guy. What will be their response when he actually does seriously harm someone... it's not like they haven't had plenty of warning.

I should think with all of his previous antics the answer would be staring them in the face, surely he has been tested in the past just because he is in the "rich brigade" does not mean he is not a danger to the general public.

Ok...in other words, he's apologized, the cops have smacked his wrist...and now a mental assessment with likely show he has ADHA or something....and he'll walk.

Maybe they feel they do not have enough to convict him long term, so will go for the chuck him in the nut house option for release at an unknown time  'when rehabilitated' ?

...A "Person Of Influence'...

...Highly Unlikely That He Will Be Subjected To Any Form Of Inconvenience, Let Alone, Punishment... 

 

...As For The "History Of Psychiatric Treatment'...

...If It Was In Lieu Of A Prison Sentence That Would Explain A Lot...

 

...A Chronic Abuser That Gets Away With It...Time And Again...
