I expect he will get a fair hearing as it happens..  I'm not without some sympathy for the fella's situation myself...   but we can't have people running amok on account of them losing their marbles for ten minutes...

 

what next, a builder short changed a tenner and sets fire to a hundred million project to get his own back?..

a hospital bulldozed to the ground because a mans wife died through malpractice by an incompetent surgeon...

were does it end?..

 

Best to come down hard on this sort of vandalism before it spreads to every other knuckle head out there..  give him fives yrs to reflect on his behavior..  and a warning to others like him..

A tad harsh there Vesp !!. Whilst I agree you can't just go crazy every time that you don't get your own way and in no way to I condone wanton vandalism. 

I'm not sure if Joe public is aware of how much of that sort of thing goes on ie contractors nailing  subbies, that's what needs sorting out, the amount of people taking a cut at different levels is mental. Ground level self employed guy has virtually no rights or leverage. I've been there myself. Yes he probs went too far but he has brought the whole topic into the public eye big time. 5 years is a lot nowadays when you see the piss poor sentencing that occurs so often for far worse crimes.

This fella might of brought the topic into public debate but at what cost?..  most people will imagine builders are a bunch of lunatics..  or criminally insane.. 

Not exactly a good advertisement for the thousands of builders who haven't run amok with a mini digger..

 

Builders aught take a leaf out of my book..  build yourself a slush fund for a rainy day...   any builder with any sense would do that as a priority..
