Who benefits from the goat being unburnt? Are we missing part of the fun here? On the ground in Gavle is there a crowd of hometown heroes thwarting arsonist assassins left and right?
Catch me fighting the Gavle volunteer army surrounding the goat on my way to commit arson.
At the start I think a lot of locals was upset by the burnings. It was a big expensive decoration for the people that some vandals just burned down for shit and giggles, and tbh at the time a bit asshole move. But over time everyone I know in Gävle look forward to see if anyone manages it. Everyone would be disappointed if it was made easy though. And it is definitely prestige in successfully defending the Goat. My grandmother would cheer for the Goat and Gävle if it survived, and the arsonists if they managed to get away with a burning. (especially if it was in an innovative or fun way) While quite a few think it’s a bit harsh punishment to get caught, you can’t really remake national laws for just a goat. Burning down other peoples property very much is arson. I think if it was fully consequence free it would loose it’s magic. The very fact how hard it is, how illegal it is and you risking jail for it is now a part of it.
My favorite defense team was 2018. Armored knights.
