Maybe they should just execute him for not respecting the state's authority. Would that satisfy your lust for a pound of flesh? Sound extreme? So does $573K, that's my point. I don't care that he dared to test the constitutionality of what the state was doing to him (we should thank him for trying), it's excessive and stupid and makes us all look like an uncivilized backwater nation that has no concept of justice or money. They should have at least put a stay on it while it was under judicial review, or capped it. Nope, gotta have our pound of flesh. Is the cruelty of our state a reflection of our own cruelty, or do you think it's the other way around? Perhaps cruelty feeds cruelty. Maybe if we weren't so cruel all this horrible shit on the news would stop happening so much. There's not an insignificant chance he will catch a warrant then be jailed for inability to pay the fine and if that happens, he'll probably die in prison. I guess we get to execute him after all, just not so directly. That'll teach him?
