It does because he committed a crime and is rotting in jail. That’s literally what that means. You can disagree forever about whether you specifically would accept his actions in some ideal society in your head, but that doesn't change reality. Simply, nobody is discussing the your imagination.
- sneak 4y ago> It does because he committed a crime and is rotting in jail. That’s literally what that means. The fact that he is in jail, or that it is a crime, does not confirm nor disconfirm that society considers his alleged actions unwanted; as the law is not a perfect or even approximate representation of society's preferences. All it tells you is that it's illegal. It doesn't tell you whether or not society considers it unwanted. They are not congruent. There are literally thousands upon thousands of US federal felonies that society has no opinion whatsoever on. Oftentimes laws are passed with the involvement of only a handful of members of society. They are largely disconnected from the wants and views of the wider world.
