I am in two minds about this really. Whilst I think the act itself is totally disrespectful, uncalled for, and will cause grief to a number of people, there is no threat against someone personally if this is the case of a lone photo being posted online. But then again pissing on a war memorial is not a direct threat towards an individual either. The act itself though is done with the objective of it to cause shock, controversy and/or upset I would presume, so the intent to cause pain and upset to people is clearly there, and is unecessary. I do however wonder where the line will be drawn, as the laws on such matters seem to be a bit of a grey area at this moment in time. Some people just think they are being clever, when in fact being complete arseholes, and they cannot be left to just do as they deem fit. I just don't necessarily agree that a custodial scentence, for instance, would be the correct course of action with an incident such as this, but then again I do not have a satisfactory alternative to offer and most will have differing opinions on the subject matter, so a universally acceptable resolution will never be reached anyhow.
