It's far from stupid.

I see you are completely avoiding the "Prevention is better than cure" and the fact that these idiots will be used as an example ....... to avoid nutjobs from trying to pull off a stunt like this in the future - a stunt which may actually cause mayhem as was the intention with these idiots.

I hate "making an example" of people, with that reasoning you're chucking them under a bus purely to uphold some principle and to make a point. You might consider it effective but that doesn't make it just.

Hell mend them then - they should have thought of that before they thought it would be an amusing thing to do. They're laughing at the other side of the face now. I doubt they will do the same thing again......if the lesson taught has to be a hard one, so be it.

They were banged up for 3 years, they'll be out this time next year - hardly being chucked under a bus.
