This seems a touch extreme

I remember this case from last year. I thought what this kid did - the stickers and paint was awsome. Bringing fire into the mix is just dangerous, and so I understand why his cohorts fled. But I think 8 years is extreme. Come on! He fucked up a few trucks (which are doing untold damage to the enviornment). Meanwhile, there are real criminals (Enron anyone??) who are dancing around in their skivvies laughing at the justice system. If anyone believes that the justice system is fair they are fools. Like government, it’s all about a theatrical production fueled by cash.

Personally, I agree with the extreme measures that some enviornmental activists take. People won’t listen unless you make it spectacular. The mob, as a group, is realitvely simple and their attention is focused on the immediacy of their world. No broad scope, no empathy and understanding for nations and people uknown to them. It’s all about suburbia, spawn and a nice shiny new Hummer.
