Why should he be punished at all if what he did was right?
If anything he should be praised. We need more people to be willing to speak out.
Chelsea Manning took her punishment. That is the point of martyrdom-that the victim suffer for the greater good.
What kind of logic is that? You want people who did nothing wrong to be unjustly punished just so that they can then claim to be martyrs? Isn't the world better if we don't actively try to create martyrs?
He did break a law. You can't pick and choose what laws to follow, whether they are right or wrong. Should I not buy health insurance because I oppose Obamacare?
Injust laws should not be followed, no. That's why people like MLK and Nelson Mandela are universally recognized as heroes.
Your position here is bizarre on a Wulfric-level. Injustice should exist so that injustice can be fought?
