Only if he actually ends up behind bars. Otherwise, this will have been a giant waste of taxpayer money and the final nail in rule-of-law's coffin.

Not prosecuting someone is the same net effect as them not being convicted, but with a 100% certain negative result, rather than at least the chance of a conviction. If you don't prosecute out of fear that it will end the rule of law, the rule of law is already dead.

Beehaw's community for socialists, communists, anarchists, and non-authoritarian leftists (this means anti-capitalists) of all stripes. A place for all leftist and labor news and discussion, as long as you're nice about it.


Non-socialists are welcome to come to learn, though it's hard to get to in-depth discussions if the community is constantly fighting over the basics. We ask that non-socialists please be respectful and try not to turn this into a "left vs right" debate forum by asking leading questions or by trying to draw others into a fight.
