This judge needs to bone up on Streisand, Barbara, Effect Thereof.

The correct response in this case, if the judge's motivation is to support the property-owner status quo, is to declare a mistrial, or whatever the English equivalent of a jury unable to reach a verdict is, and tell the prosecutor to quietly fail to file again.

Jailing them like this is only going to amplify their message. Case in point: I'm some schmuck from New Jersey and had no idea an old British woman and a British woman about my age had glued themselves to a tarmac. Now I do. I hadn't even heard of "Insulate Britain;" now I have.

Like I said, if you ask others, they will tell you the impending doom is coming due to other reasons. AI will destroy the world, nuclear weapon proliferation, religion going out the window and the collapse of the family unit, climate change, these are all pet subjects from different people. Living in society means understanding you might be wrong. The way you feel about climate change, that the other subjects I mentioned are stupid or meaningless in comparison, that's how others might feel about your topic.

All of those might be correct to different extents, but the fact you think you're right doesn't mean an ambulance doesn't need to drive through the road you're cutting, for example. If I start cutting roads to protest the US doing drone strikes on children I'm right but I still will go to jail.

I totally see what you mean but I don't really understand why it's taken into consideration for some examples and in other you aren't even allowed to mention it but I probably just don't know enough about it

If people don't protest climate crisis we won't have a society for very long...

Which is, in itself, an admission that the law is fundamentally intended to be ignorant or indifferent of morality in most instances, and that only high-prorile charges are afforded the consideration of moral judgement.

I was hungry AF in Europe. The portions were so small and the options were much more limited than the US.

Noticed that immediately. A few places did alright but generally speaking I remember being hungry.

I am fit with a decent appetite. Have never been overweight.

i'm not tone deaf, but I just feel that everyone is easily offended lately, including you from what I see.

Indeed, we should also stop that offensive maternity leave, cause it's sexist and the idiot doctors said it might damage their ability to have natural healthy delivery and baby.

I spent a week each in Key West and New Orleans a few years ago, ate and drank like a king, still lost weight due to the amount of walking. Although New Orleans was full of the fattest people I have seen, all wearing incredibly tight clothes. Didn't see a single lardarse in Key West.

A few villages away, people have decided to run the school lunchroom themselves.

I can’t imagine how you can hate your kids so much as to expose them to the kind of food they often get there.

Okay, I may have misread the article. I do think journalist transparency is a good thing, but can see how this can have its own set of problems

That is increasingly the case for Europe, too.

During the pandemic, a huge number of people left the hospitality industry - and they ain’t coming back.

This kid is an absolute bloody legend!

I...am actually shocked. Well maybe the party will force him out.

How can motivation not be important in every case? This is the dumbest thing I've read. (I don't mean your opinion, but how the law works)

Motive can be inculpatory, exculpatory or meaningless depending on the case. I'm not sure how to repeat the same thing in different words. Maybe you'd like motive to always be considered, but that isn't how most countries practice law. This is particularly relevant for menial cases, most traffic offenses, etc. You cannot start going through red lights because you want to minimize your driving time to stop climate change for example.

The hypocrisy bothers me.

Splitter!

But the thing is that in many cases there are factors that change how long/if someone gets sentenced etc. I just don't really see how this would be different?

And here I thought US judges could be incompetent boobs.
