They must know what mindless vandalism they committed and that everywhere they go they will be reviled. I think as there will no doubt be a small court punishment only, their faces should be exposed if they are proved guilty, and then they will live with the consequences every day.

There is a court drawing of them in the news pictures so we know what they look like I wonder what their thinking behind it was and why they felt that they needed to do that

Are they wearing full masks in court? It shouldn't be allowed if they are.

It is simply unbelievable that anyone would do something so dreadful. I don't understand it.

I still can't fathom what their motive was for doing such a mindless act. I daresay there is little if any precedent to give us some idea of a punishment if they are found guilty. Pathetic excuses for human beings.

What cowards these men are. They turned up in court in full masks so no one could see who they are. Yes, I know we have names and ages.

But surely if you feel strongly enough about something, personal grudge or wider issue. You should have the guts to show your face in public. Gutless vandals.
