The mind set of these two men, vile
Vile, but not uncommon, Ab

So true MaizieD yes, shared by many more

I would neither flog nor hang, but a day in the stocks might act as a deterrent for others thinking of being this stupid.

I would not want anyone throwing anything at them and I would want them well protected from the public with suitable meal breaks. But people like this need to be made to realisejust how unfunny stunts like this are, and what people think of the perpetrators.

They had some at Longleat last time we went.

The news of the homophobic attacks has hardened my feelings about these two. Absolutely vile. so it is attacks against people swell asa spiteful destruction of a loved tree.

Goodness only knows what could change that sort of person when you put it all together.

correct "attacks against people as well as spiteful destruction."

Any competent carpenter could quickly make some!

To be a bit more charitable, these 2 men seem to be what we describe as 'bears of very little brain', living on the edges of society and lacking the capacity to think deeply about the consequent results of any of their actions.

They have themselves expressed bafflement about the way people reacted to cutting the tree down, and they probably think that their frequenting a known homophobic meeting spot to 'jump' people and throw a harmless substance (icing sugar) over them, is also a good joke that harms no one.

The best and most practical punishment would be community service with a purpose, planting and nurturing nature and a good course on critical thinking that makes themunderstand that actions have consequences, not the least on themselves

There is plenty of wood available!

Wait a min, I’ll just get my axe 🪓😄

I like your consequences for them Monica and they would learn far more than in a prison.
