It's not about who is more wrong, at least someone that was clearly wrong was brought to justice.

- coldtea 4y agoIt's about proportion. We don't just pick up random people (or worse specific people for non-justice reasons) among offenders and celebrate that we "brought them to justice". Especially since what's disproportionate is not just about what X got vs what Y got as a penalty, but also the size of the penalty itself compared to the offense... A billion dollar penantly is like the death penalty, just delivered financially. Civilized societies don't do those two.

I'm all for free speech and civil conduct, but the legal system must allow room to prosecute concerted harassment campaigns like this one.
