Crime ..degree...seriousness...punishment ...and mind conditioning

Tweet

Pony, Greg and I have been discussing something. I am not being a contrarian for the sake of being one. I just had this thought ages ago, and so I thought I should discuss this...and get to know how wrong am I. So yeah...the thought came up because of Donald Thump. (spelling mistake is deliberate lest he sue me). But please dissociate yourself from that personality...because this is social angle of the legal aspect I want to discuss. I would say every crime has a core part ...the other aspects of it are incidental. Of course, we punish for both the core as well as incidental aspects. The law has enough sections for that. So I feel when the implications of the core part of the crime are serious like leading to death then it should be addressed as such. In case of Donald Thump...because he denied ...10 times the hush money as penal charges. Had he not denied, two times the hush money as penal charges to the official kitty. In addition to this, he would pay whatever compensation that lawyers argue to his wife. Close the chapter. It does not mean I am discounting the mental agony. But the family hurt is different from hurting a stranger. The lady may discount the trespass keeping in view the kinder moments. Example Mrs. Clinton. Stranger cannot do so. With the death or grave injury...their entire life turns upside down. That needs to be looked at more seriously I feel. So yeah...I don't find Donald Thump news something to be happy about. Waste of court time. Are we conditioned to believe this is more serious crime than somebody texting while driving or drunken driving? The harm that can be repaired cannot be as serious as the harm that cannot be. Trump should not have been the candidate in the first place ...because of bankruptcies. How can a man with bankruptcy record manage nation's finances? Once elected, pulling him down for not serious crimes seems odd. And who knows what were the stories of other presidents? Whether in the US or elsewhere. A person is nice until he or she is caught doing something wrong. The operative word is...caught. Then the implications of the wrong and core wrong should be considered. Trump's tresspass did not lead to anybody starving, or any human trafficking or death. Did it?
