This is a genuine question.

I have a hard time with this. My righteous side wants him to face an appropriate sentence, but my pessimistic side thinks this might have set a great example for CEOs to always maintain a level of humanity or face unforseen consequences.

P.S. this topic is highly controversial and I want actual opinions so let’s be civil.

And if you’re a mod, delete this if the post is inappropriate or if it gets too heated.

    With all due respect, we recently had a kangaroo court of the SCOTUS rule the President, the highest seat in the US, is “above the law” and we’re about to put someone in who has no care or compassion for the very laws we are bound by, and we agree to be bound by, for a just society.

    If he’s above the law, then why am I not? Why is the law a social constraint from the gentry? The man carried out the only law that has ever been close to equal and acceptable, yet spiteful and hollow: Revenge.
