They got sentenced for vandalizing irreplaceable art, not for ‘throwing soup’.
People who damage culturally significant, irreplaceable things to get attention for their cause deserve this kind of punishment or worse. They have the same mindset as the Taliban blowing up cliff carvings. And they lack the intelligence and creativity to bring attention to their cause without destroying things.

They didn't damage it. They did throw soup at it.

Their lack of success is irrelevant. They tried to damage it.
I was already aware we're destroying the planet. I don't need stupid kids trying to destroy art in a museum to inform me about that.
Your fake outrage is too obvious
