these men aren’t a danger to the public and aren’t likely to do it again, there is no legitimate reason for a prison sentence
just give them a very long period of community service, maybe tree related
The sentencing is to (slow - bah it was meant to be…) show that wilful destruction of ancient trees and heritage sites will not go unpunished.
They are a pair of cunts that destroyed a beloved tree and I disagree, if they hadn’t been jailed, they would very likely do something similar again seeing as they revelled in the media attention and took keepsakes.
i both hate these pricks for killing the tree and am ideologically biased against at least one of them because he’s a petite-bourgeois scumbag and i still believe that they wouldn’t be stupid enough to do something similar again
having them perform service for the community is cheaper, improves the community, and takes the sheen off their notoriety if they do indeed still revel in the attention
prison as a punishment is backwards medieval thinking, it should be reserved purely for people who are a genuine danger to the public or are extremely likely to repeat their crime
