    The families that sued him and settled for $7.5M were from the community. Did they enable him? What about the children that attend the same school and will now have less funding for their education? Did they enable him? Do they deserve to partake in the punishment?

    Make the people that did the offense pay for it.

      So your proposal is to completely scrap how American liability laws work and create something new?

      I don’t think that would be all bad, definitely ambitious.

      What about the the current victims? How should they receive their restitution in the meantime?
