Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Outside the family and friends of the victim the rest of us have no right to be so upset for what is in essence a very low rung crime of defacing the grass surrounding a temporary memorial in what is otherwise a public park.
A community service order is all that is required as punishment.
Ironically the death threats coming from the keyboard warriors are a far more serious police matter.

Compare that to inside the family and friends of the victim the rest of us have no right to be so upset for what is in essence a low rung crime of defacing the grass surrounding a temporary memorial in what is a public park.

That would involve genuine reflection, something that rarely happens with people totally wrapped up in their own idealism (of whichever persuasion) and utterly immune to seeing things from another perspective.
