You should look up some of the messages the court case revealed. It sums up how nasty, spiteful, and truly hateful these two men are.
They took active joy in making people miserable. They knew targeting a loved cultural landmark would make people angry and miserable, so that's what they did.
Their motivation was purely to hurt.
