In fact, if they didn’t face ANY difficulty beyond getting fired from their jobs, then I would say we have a completely broken society.

But I feel confident that, short of the intervention of an outside benefactor who takes pity on them, these people’s next career moves will be lateral at best and degrading at worst.

Though, I’d feel better if they were officially held accountable by law enforcement. Skewering them in the comments section won’t stop them from behaving like animals. Law enforcement acting as an actual deterrent to more such activities is to be preferred.

I agree with both of your viewpoints. My sense of justice wants to see bad people get bad things done to them just so they can understand the pain they caused (even if unwillingly).

But how awesome would it be if these people reconciled and agreed upon what was the right thing to do.

That’s the sort of impossible forgiveness they tend to seek and promote among people who share the same faith. Can’t we just assign each other the basic dignity of humanity and agree that we’d rather see people flourish than suffer?

Is this what rich people do? Do they just purchase and then recklessly wreck their big expensive toys just because they can?

I know how to swim, but I don’t know how to swim with 3-5 people grabbing and pulling me down.

Many of them did not know how to swim.
