'Despicable': blogger must do 200 hours community service for defacing memorial to slain comedian

The Guardian reports:
The blogger who defaced the Melbourne memorial to slain comedian Eurydice Dixon must do 200 hours of community service for his crime, but has not been sentenced to jail.
Andrew Nolch, 29, pleaded guilty last Thursday to criminal damage for painting a 25-metre long penis at the Princes Park memorial in June.
Nolch committed the act just days after Dixon was raped and murdered, and the night before a public vigil was held. He said he was making “a statement for men’s rights”.
“I’m an advocate for equal rights for both genders. Not all men are bad,” he told reporters.
“I did the political graffiti because the mainstream media and feminists turned the tragic murder of Eurydice Dixon into one giant political man-hating event.
“This mainstream media propaganda and man-hating upset me so much that I thought I had to make a statement for men’s rights.”
