So Krasnov was arrested, and nature will take its course: he’s got maybe 15 years in prison ahead of him.
“All I can say [is] I really regret [it],” Krasnov told police, as reported by Gawker. “Nothing like this would happen if I were sober.”
His girlfriend is willing to shrug it off as inebriated high jinx as well, “It’s just alcohol,” she told a reporter and added also, as if we were expected to believe it, that Krasnov had nothing to be jealous about. “With [Sergei] it was just ‘hello’ and ‘goodbye,’” she claimed. Well it’s only going to be “goodbye,” now, and he leaves this world in one of the least dignified manners possible.
All the blame can’t be put on alcohol, of course; since even when inebriated there is some attendant voice of conscience – hopefully – or at least the whisper of common sense?
