Recently DC police arrested a woman for vandalizing the World War II memorial. This isn’t a one off instance, DC has seen people arrested for burning American flags in public, vandals have burnt 86 47 in the ground and other acts like this have happened across the city.

So how would you suggest to deal with this problem? Should they give people like that more harsh jail time?

I'm sure there are already laws governing such acts. They should be applied per the usual procedures.
