1988 is older than i exist, and the 80s were a different time where it was probably more okay to gouge out an asian man's eye, so who am I to judge. We can play what-if games all day about how he would be if he wasn't famous, but he is, he does charity work, and he should be able to do that. Bunch of pearl clutching liberal bitches in here who think 27 years isn't long enough to atone for some bullshit you did in the 80s.

Peztopiary posted:Real Talk he served his time (pathetically little as it was) so the question becomes is it useful for society to know who you were in the past. That's an unequivocal yes. It's great that he's a good person now, but that doesn't invalidate who he used to be. Except that it's preventing him from doing good things right now. And it's actually stupid as hell that future good works can actually be hindered by past debts you've actually already paid back to society.

Peztopiary posted:I mean he can't become a cop, (lol gotta commit all your crimes after you're on the other side of the blue line) but a conviction isn't going to stop him from opening a charity or other group. Maybe due to some crazy state law cops couldn't coordinate directly with him, but they sure could with someone who worked for his charity. Nah, this is about being above the law once you're famous enough. I dig that he is doing good works now, but he still committed a crime and people should still have access to that information. As an example, if you were a charity devoted to helping at risk Asian teens maybe you'd want to take a close look at the dude before you partnered up with his charity. We'll just have to disagree. I don't think the law should be a tool to mark and damage people who break it, except maybe pedophiles and murderers and even then if rehabilitation is possible that's an avenue I'd like to explore. The only time criminals should be marked as dangerous and punished from here to the end is pretty much all kinds of sex offender and people who have taken lives, and not just body parts, of others.
