Your first link is about someone just making a threatening video. Your second link is about a new fine for not returning plates, silverware, etc. to restaurants. Neither one of those are even remotely similar to someone intentionally lighting another person on fire.

I don't understand how you can compare someone being lit on fire to someone being fined for not returning a tray or someone carrying a knife in public.

To be clear, "tagging" is vandalism. Also, your source says 5 months, not the 1 year that you claimed.

This is not that scary for folks not vandalizing stuff

Your links are also off by a decade or two.

There is a law, it was broken and the person was sentenced. I'd rather live in a place that enforces laws rather than one where people run loose, but to each their own I suppose.

Yes I do not live there currently (as you have noticed by my previous comments) but that is where I consider myself "from".
