I am also for second chances, but to offer a contrarian view, armed robbery is still a defining characteristic of his life. We are just animals. If we are honest about it: For as easily as we can say different dogs have different temperaments--some make good playmates for children, some good for attacking people--certain people also are better suited to different roles as citizens of a civilization. Years ago I used to actively play a popular Valve online game, pseudo-competitively. In this community developed toxic culture of harassment and demeaning comments towards one female player. I remember she would be interrupted with things such as "shut up whore." But there were those who would try to stop it, even though they would be negatively impacted by it, and harassed themselves. Unfortunately in the years since then, I've read about this happening elsewhere. But fortunately I have seen a lot about the importance of respect and fairness towards women (and all people) in tech and online gaming. But do we need to wait for every wrong to have a rights movement against it, to know that it's wrong? I disagree. I think even those perpetuating this towards her were fully aware that it was wrong; they just didn't care. There are good and bad people, and it's an evolutionary advantage to us that we have evolved to care about this. Armed robbery is not the worst thing anyone had ever done, and he deserves a second chance. I'm skeptical of why he is a Georgetown law professor.
