    Hopefully they get some multi-year prison sentences to make an example out of them. Something that their money can’t buy them out of.

        I saw that when I went to google the clip lol I haven’t been able to swallow my disdain for an actual human being that acts like that enough to be able to watch that. I think I may have an aneurysm, so I’m going to live in denial a while longer.
