There is a part of me that wants to extend forgiveness, but then I remember what Banjo does and I feel nothing for him.
I’ve known many who were stupid when they were young. It often is a direct result of malignant or neglecting parents. Some recover and do great things. This guy appears to have “recovered” and then went on to monetize state surveillance ambitions.
- scabarott 6y agoI don't know why they're down-voting you. I'm at least concerned that someone with that kind of past has anything to do with building such sensitive and influential law enforcement infrastructure. I don't know what his current state of mind is and I believe in second chances but this kind of history should disqualify you from at least some types of sensitive roles.

It is not appropriate for a former Neo-Nazi to receive state surveillance contracts. It is not appropriate for a former Neo-Nazi to be able to work with any kind of sensible data. Even if completely rehabilitated, their origins are - to my mind - treacherous.

- s0l1dsnak3123 6y agoDamn right I'm sensitive about Neo-Nazis gaining power and authority.

- twomoretime 6y agoA second chance doesn't mean a clean slate to do anything. You probably wouldn't put a convicted pedophile in a daycare, second chance or no.
- battery_cowboy 6y agoA second chance doesn't have to be perfect, it might just mean you can survive. How many people have gone to prison for much lesser crimes, like marijuana possession, and then become a millionaire? Not many, most just work shit jobs to survive. He was lucky, but doesn't have any right to his second chance.
- threatofrain 6y agoThere's a difference between forgiveness and credibility, and you can have no credibility even if you've committed no crime. What Damien did was drive white supremacists to a synagogue shoot-up. Credibility is part of the job of a CEO.
