Just wait, if he's sentenced to do some time, you bet half of Iceland will scream for him to do it here, or that he should get off lightly.

The sad thing is that he's not even that original. Back in the late 90's a member of an underground Seattle art collective who had previously chained a gigantic iron ball to the leg of The Hammering Man (a huge iron statue in front or the Seattle Art Museum symbolizing the working class) on Labor Day, decided that it would be a totally artistic endeavor to put the huge black sphere in the back of his beat-up truck,drive it to an intersection smack in the middle of Seattle's busiest pedestrian shopping district, and then flatten the truck' tires and run away, leaving a stickern the truck proclaiming "ART IS DA BOMB!". 4 hours later, after evacuating most of the downtown with streets shut off and major traffic jams snarling the entire city, somebody figured out the sphere was empty. The only injury reported was when a local TV anchorman, kitted out in a flak-jacket and army-surplus helmet pushed a tiny Asian reporter from another station to the ground in order to get a better shot "live from ground zero". People are idiots, no matter the nationality.
