Although vandalism is illegal I believe that this punishment is very cruel. First, yes vandalism can negatively affect other people. But what if it’s just a student showing off their creativity in an abandoned building. I also believe that this pushing is harsh even if the situation was different. If someone was to vandalize a private property it is better for them to pay the damages; and complete a certain amount of community service hours. People will learn their lesson after completing a vast amount of community work.
This punishment is very cruel, especially if the so-called vandaliser is trying to express their creativity or bring a social issue to light with their art. Grafitti is a form of art that is used by so many artists and it is a way of expressing your feelings. 3 years in state prison, and a fine of 50, 000 USD is ridiculous and I find it unfair and cruel.
Hope this gives you some ideas as to what to write about! x
