If only we had the policing resources to go after real criminals. This whole incident smacks of preferential treatment.

At the same time pleading not guilty to attempted criminal damage, when you turnbup to the joint with paint filled balloons? Come on. I’m sure theres some technical legal reason they aren’t pleading guilty to that. Maybe its because the prosecutor so obviously wants to make them, metaphorically, bleed, so making their job easier won’t benefit the defendents in any way.

Good on the judge for tamping down on the zeal of the prosecution.
