You say this with a pompous, entitled air. (sound familiar)

Uh, because even though she admittedly did something wrong the penalty she is paying is absolutely not commensurate with the crime. 9 years of hard labor and torture for a vape cartridge. Maybe that’s why you should feel bad about her situation. Something a claimed “compassionate human” would do.

What’s funny is you are so damn holier than thou, even though apparently what’s legal and isn’t legal doesn’t even matter to you. You complain when people legally do things as well. So according to you people need to be punished even when they don’t break the law.

But of course you claim to be a “compassionate human being”. Really, thinking we shouldn’t feel bad about someone getting a 9 year tortuous prison sentence for something that literally harmed no one and was easily a stupid mistake? That’s compassionate?

No, you are a holier than thou asshole who apparently only has compassion when it suits you. It’s people like you that we have extremely excessive penalties for minor crimes because you think “they deserve what they get” no matter how small the offense is and how harsh the penalty. You’re not compassionate, you are hypocritical scumbag who probably thinks all the shit you do wrong is fine because “you don’t understand, it’s different”.

You are either NOT a very compassionate human being and just an asshole, or you are just racist.

> You say this with a pompous, entitled air. You don’t find it at all troubling that a CEO (let alone the CEO of a pharmaceutical company during the most profitable pandemic in any of our lives) can make bold unsubstantiated claims about a drug and then immediately sell off stocks to profit directly from those claims? Yet your only point is that he followed the rules of buying and selling stocks? If so, god help us all. Because I, as a compassionate human being, find something fundamentally wrong.
