I’d just note for the record that Paul, AFTER age 18, did some stupid things.
Not murder, true. But he did do stupid — criminal — things, in his own telling of his time at Dartmouth.
And Paul didn’t do 27 years of hard time, either.
So when DC decides to include the perspectives of what was a very-young murderer, who has paid his debt to society, btw — on a sentencing commission (as one voice of dozens)… Paul loses his tiny mind.
It seems Paul cannot accept any law other than that embedded in the Code of Hammurabi.
Right-o then. Let’s get on with it: fair is fair. Eye for an eye, and all that….
So — let us commence with cutting off Paul’s left hand, above the wrist, for having “stolen” control of the administrative offices of Dartmouth in 1971. Afterall, the defense of “protesting Vietnam” is no defense under that Code — and so, he’s NEVER paid his debt to society.
Let us treat him as the deplorable thief he was (or worse, as a false prophet — and stone him to death). Let’s get on with it.
Seems… sensible, right, Paul?
Paul…?
Mr. Mirengoff…?
Has the cat got your (generally very loose)… tongue?
