Note, I said "seriously." I found that post to be tongue-in-cheek. But you seem to be a very literal person with strict rules regarding human behavior, and I hope you're not the judge in case.

I think you're taking people discussing some grey areas and assuming they want this guy to get off with only a slap on the wrist. I can assure that, at least for me, that's not the case.

He should face the consequences for his actions, but those consequences will be decided in a court of law and not by us.
