5 years for one of them IIRC, although their case was more complicated than Reddit/Lemmy comments often state. Reddit/Lemmy often says they got 5 years for peacefully protesting, however:
the protestors affected emergency services
the protesters were repeat offenders
the protesters said they are glad they broke the law
the protester who got the longest sentence was in contempt of court and got arrested again during the court case
the protestor who got the longest sentence was continually rude to the judge and constantly tried to create drama in the courtroom, generally a terrible idea.
the protester who got the longest sentence said he would commit more crimes, he would never stop, and he couldn’t wait to get out there and commit more crimes.
the protestor who got the longest sentence said, about an ambulance that got stuck in the traffic jam that he conspired to cause, that he’d rather the patients in ambulances die than let a single ambulance through
5 years is a long time, but at the same time, wtf did he expect to happen? The judge to say “oh cool mate, go on now, leave my courtroom and commit more crimes. Boys will be boys! What a little scallywag!”? He left the judge with little choice but to come down on him hard.
Goes without saying that I want the thugs arrested, of course. But let’s not misrepresent the JSO trial.
E: People you can disagree with the length of the sentence, or think that the protestors are good, without trying to suppress the facts of the court case. Even when I disagree with something, I don’t go around peddling misinformation about it.
