Huh, up to 10 years for disruptive protest? Looks like it’s only 8 years for a planned arson as long as you don’t hurt anyone.

In minecraft, that might send the wrong message.

Eh, I’m sure that my FBI guy and my Met guy have coffee together anyway.

Pfft, you’ve only got two guys? Amateur.

So, if you plan an arson as a protest, is that 8 years or 18 years?

@rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works · 2 months ago

woah woah woah! I don’t see a protest around here!

As long as you don’t slowly walk or away from the burning building, you should be fine. IANAL

It’s not a protest, I just felt like burning down some Big Oil headquarters! Those are two totally different things, I promise!
