[Student gets 8 years for SUV vandalism
Tuesday, April 19, 2005 Posted: 4:57 AM EDT (0857 GMT)
LOS ANGELES, California (Reuters) -- An aspiring physicist was sentenced Monday to more than eight years in prison and ordered to pay $3.5 million for his role in a spree of arson and vandalism that targeted gas-guzzling Hummers and other sports utility vehicles.

Rejecting pleas for clemency from William Cottrell, a 24-year-old doctoral candidate in physics at the California Institute of Technology, U.S. District Judge Gary Klausner added more time to the sentence after finding that Cottrell was trying to sway consumers with his anti-SUV message.

The slogans Cottrell spray-painted onto vehicles included "Fat Lazy Americans," "No Respect for Earth" and "SUV Terrorism."

Cottrell, who admitted only spray-painting and testified he did not know that two friends were bringing Molotov cocktails, promised he would never break the law again.

The two friends have fled the country to avoid prosecution, authorities said.]


Yes, there is a bit more to this story, yadda yadda. The Judge is outraged at the young "arrogant" man and his "engagement in sending a political message," etc. Were you come from, what are the actual sentences served for rape, domestic violence, drunk driving, child molestation, child endangerment, etc.?

Hands off my SUV!

Why'd he do something that crazy? I think the kid needs some counseling. Maybe SUVs bring some bad memories, and he just overreacted.

Maybe the judge got harsh because he owns a SUV or plans to get one for himself/his family/kids.

Not many vandals get punished that bad.

It is obviously wrong to damage someone else's property, and this guy should get some punishment. I find 8 years surprising ... but maybe that is just the "before probation" etc. number.

Now, about "Maybe this guy is right, too."

I think we all know that Americans are affected as a whole by our national fuel consumption. Right now we feel the pinch because high consumption leads to high prices. We have concerns about national security because huge amounts of money are leaving the country, and going to ... politically suspect players. We also know that the agreed pollutants like SOx and NOx are generated in proportion to MPG. Bigger car, more pollution. Finally, global warming is out there and probably real. Again, higher MPG means lower environmental damage.

The thing that gets me about those Hummers is that they aren't about hauling large families, or doing the best they can. They are about "bling" and conspicuous consumption.

They may not get spray painted again, but I hope the days when they were cool is long gone!
