The day before this year's #EarthDay two #juststopoil protestors were given outrageous and extreme prison sentences.

Morgan Trowland was jailed for three years and Marcus Decker for two years and seven months.

The presiding Judge Shane Collery KC said to the pair, you "plainly believed you knew better" than other people and were thinking "to hell with everyone else".

Future times will record them as pioneers. The Judge's comments will be forgotten.

@Geri @aral
Their point is precisely to save everyone from hell… how someone, let alone a judge can misunderstand their action as an ego trip…

@fabienmarry @Geri Hint: he didn’t misunderstand. He was an equities trader at a UK stockbroker before he was a judge.
