    Cool yeah, let's have short sentences for destroying cultural landmarks. I'm sure that'll be fine.

    We both know that these men will, unfortunately, be out far sooner than 4 years time.

    They shouldn't be inside at all. We don't have the prison space to spend on things like this. It should be dealt with in the community.

    I.e. translating to no real punishment. For permanently destroying a historically significant site, then constantly lying in court.

    I'm sure there would be zero repercussions from that.

    Jesus Christ, I am immensely thankful you aren't a judge or legislator.

    We already jail more than France, Germany, Austria, Spain, Italy, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland. We're about 40% more than the nearest one of those which is France. Several of them we're 2-3x more per capita.

    We put too many people in prison. We're not on American levels, but it's still too many.
