Hope these thugs get some prison time.
I'd like to see them sentenced to some serious time assisting Catholic charities in their mission to aid the poor and infirm. Let them learn what it was they so foolishly attacked.
Even if the overt display of religious symbols offended them?
Why should vandalism and destruction of personal property result in prison?
Not a chance, the Judge will not want to "ruin their whole life". Personally I would give them 10 years if their parents buy a brand new statue, and 20 years if they dont.
