I hope he gets some time. I'm tired of seeing/hearing athletics (and others) thinking they’re above the law. Making the kinds of $$ that they make should make them more humble, not pompous. I can't feel sorry for people who have been given chance after chance. This black on black stupidity MUST END, no more...we need zero tolerance laws doe all that show a disrespect of the law and fellow citizens. A Footnote: Maybe it's time for him to reconcile with his past and confront his demons.

He should be punished with fines and suspensions, but he should have been counseled and supported as well.

Counseled to do what? To stop acting like a spoiled teenager? To actually give a darn about obeying laws and rules? He's a 28 year-old man who has previously run afoul of the law for gun-related issues. If his punishment then, and what he's going through now doesn't do the trick, counseling won't do him a durn bit of good.
I don't know about your employment situation, but if I brought guns, loaded or not, to my job, I would be fired and would be subject to prosecution, as well. Why does Arenas deserve any different?

Ironic seeing Gil arrive, then wait to go through the metal detector at the court house.
