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.

    This is my best-case scenario.

    If they catch the guy, obviously he should stand trial. That’s how the law works in the US. But I think that jury nullification could be the appropriate response to a trial.

    This guy might be the closest thing we have to a modern-day Robin Hood. And while we all agree that Robin Hood broke the law, no reasonable person wants to see the Sheriff of Nottingham win.

      And we don’t seem to be in a timeline that’s handing out best case outcomes.

      I’m waiting for the record go fund me numbers this guy gets for his defense fund if they do find him.
