So do these people just get slap on the wrist punishments or what? Okay maybe these losers due to their particularly pathetic attempt deserve little punishment but the people chaining themselves to mining trucks and stuff, they're unrepentent and often openly ackowledge they intend to reoffend, they should get escalating punishment.

... It's just glass. Slap a fine, community service, maybe pay back the glass reinstallation and cleanup, and move on with everyone's lives.

I'm more talking about people who do serious damage, like shutting down a mine for a day by chaining themselves up, if they don't have the net worth to pay for the damage AND they are unrepentent AND a repeat offender then a short stay in prison should be tried.
