Who is worse? Is a mass murderer deserving to have their life as they know it impacted negatively? Would you be satisfied by another case trying to hold a powerful person accountable so that they can be given a slap on the wrist? That's the alternative for Brian, except not even, because social murder is legal. You can't let a system deal with the outcomes if the system makes no fucking sense whatsoever. Change the system, but don't be surprised when people get creative about the ways to change it if they have no power to enact that change at all.
