4 years!

Of course it’s fucked up and whatever, but this feels like a populist sentence. 4 years is an incredible long time. In what way is this adequate for the crime. Like mentioned before, there is incredible damage being done to nature in the name of business, very rarely somebody is getting a little bit of blowback, and these two guys, who really don’t have much potential to destroy anything more are sent away as an example? To whom? The generally misbehaving public?
