Why waste the government money on this

@ArishMell I think jailing them for 10 years or more could be extremely popular.

@iamthe99 It could, but perhaps better would be a driving-ban for at least as long, with the confiscation and destruction of the car and chain-saw; and massive fines and costs - even if they have to spread the payment over many instalments.

If they genuinely cannot afford it then for vandalism, a community-service order of equivalent value might be appropriate but I don't know if the law presently allows it. For the service I have in mind is not running elderly people to hospital or tending their gardens, admirable though those are. Instead, to comprise clearing and (as far as possible repairing) the results of other anti-social acts including physical breaking of property, graffitti, fouling of public rights-of-way by dogs and horses, litter and fly-tipping.

Anyway, irrespective of any penalty in law, these two useless, anti-social cowards have already shown themselves publicly they cannot be trusted, and that may affect them for years to come. That is entirely their own fault. They chose to be useless, to be anti-social, to be cowards.

We will have to wait a couple of months for the sentencing hearing, but I imagine the utter lack so far of any understanding, explanation or remorse by these two cowards, the deliberate approach to their vandalism and their feeble attempts to appear "innocent" by blaming each other, will likely affect whatever penalty is imposed.

It seems we do not actually know which one cut down the tree while the other filmed it; but it was still a joint effort - and a considerable effort for absolutely no point or justification either man has so far managed to put forward in his own defence.

@ArishMell Especially as they denied it, yet somehow they both had footage of the felling on their phones and they bragged about it in messages to each other.

@iamthe99 Yes - making it even harder to comprehend their actions.
