Yes and no. His dad screwed him up mentally. Regardless of Hunter's motives, we have to acknowledge that he didn't have to do any of this. He went above and beyond just screwing over his Pops for twisting him up so badly.
He included his dealings in Ukraine with biolabs. That's far more than a family grudge -- he decided to take down the whole sordid cult.
However, he's still a messed-up person who deserves a jail cell, because he'll never be a "normal" functioning human being and the ones he has harmed deserve justice.
It is Justice to punish someone for their crimes against God's Law. It's Mercy to permit them to fix everything they broke. Mercy is the child of Love and Justice.
Wow what a great sermon , if you will , to read with my morning tea !
Thank you for that true and eloquent comment .
Yes, we all want Hunter and esp killery et el to pay, but something is quiet strange about this laptop being left . White Hats forced him to leave it so evidence was found this way ,,, who knows but what you wrote is true even though hard to swallow ! TY
I'm thinking he dropped it off in a crack induced stupor and forgot about it. These people aren't capable of repentance, shame, guilt or remorse. It's always someone else's fault. "Daddy made me a child rapist, I'll show him" cmon man! If this was an attempt to make amends, he would put it directly in the hands of someone who could actually do something with it. Then turn himself in. Instead he turned to his art for therapy and lucky for him, was able to make millions selling it to daddy's friends. Literal scam artist.

That's some deep wisdom. I wish I could sticky this.
Even capital punishment is a kind of mercy because it places their mortality in the spotlight and forces them think very hard about what is going to occur after. Many-a last minute repentance have saved souls at the hour of their death.
Ok I take your comments as a reminder not to loose perspective on those arrested. If things go as planned and many are arrested it will be easy to loose our humanity and judge everyone the same way. I will keep that in mind. Thanks!
The Romans, however, had iron, which allowed them to make the double-edged sword, with no need of a thick backing.
This meant that instead of just flaying flesh and chopping bones like an axe (why the khopesh has a bulky, pronounced curve for the blade) the iron, double-edged sword could cleave straight through flesh and bone in a single swipe. Nothing but armor could withstand the ability to sever things.
And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp two edged sword, and his face shone as the sun shineth in his strength. - Revelation 1:16
The Word is a two-edged sword. It cleaves all things in two. Nothing can withstand its ability to sever.
35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. 36 And a man’s enemies shall be they of his own household. 37 He that loveth father or mother more than me, is not worthy of me. And he that loveth son, or daughter more than me, is not worthy of me. 38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. - Matthew 10:35-38
Line 38 is harsh.
Jesus speaks true, however, and the truth is often harsh.
If someone were to plant a landmines in several dozen locations around a battlefield, wouldn't it be the best case scenario for the soldiers if they can catch him and get him to point out where every landmine he planted was?
Only the one who committed the crimes can tell you what crimes he committed and where. The worst-case scenario is killing the kidnapper and not knowing where the kidnapped person is.
People don't understand forgiveness. Forgiveness is essential to growth.
It is foolish not to forgive, because you prohibit your own growth. You plant a stake in the ground of your soul saying "I will not".
It's Pride preventing someone from moving on and forgiving. The other person may have asked for forgiveness, yet you hold it away from them. Why? What does it benefit you? Is it only so the offender may grovel and writhe in agony that they have not been relieved of their guilt?
Does it make you the better man to lord that over their heads, forever keeping them in anguish? Is it an honest thing to do? Is it a productive thing to do?
Man can be bound in both body and soul. Consequence is about the body. Forgiveness is all about the soul. While the body can be punished by the Law of Cause and Effect, the soul is immortal and cares not for the befores and the afters. The soul is instead bound by guilt.
The body MUST be punished, as the Effect must suit the Cause -- that is God's Law. That is the operant of the Lord's Will.
The soul, however, can close itself off from guilt, and feel nothing except anger and fury over the body, IT'S BODY, being bound for a time. One such as this has no hope, but one that does feel the pangs of guilt has hope.
I wish that no one bears the torment of guilt. It is a sour and crippling thing, far more than the body would ever be able to endure. Should someone ask me for forgiveness, I shall give it freely, because their soul is far more valuable to me than my body. The same should be true for them.
Forgive their soul, punish the body. This is in keeping with God's Law.
This is a hard Truth. This is The Truth. This is the Fruit from Passion of our Lord. That the body bear the burdens of this world so that the soul may soar weightless and without limits.
can't find the other reply I started.... but yes, I see the context in which you wrote it.... and he simply cannot fix everything he broke.
is it right and proper to let him live out his life in a prison? idk really. the conditions of the prison may be relevant? the children who's lives he's ruined, his role in bringing down western civ through his dirty dealings.... what is pragmatic is not always moral.
the transactional exchange may be worth executing.... that is, this is the horror if you don't tell us (slow painful end in general pop) or this is the less horrific end if you do tell us.
His punishment for eternity is between him and God, his punishment here is between him and society. Sociopaths only understand pain. Other sociopaths must know that crimes like his do not result in life in prison unless it is very uncomfortable.
i am picky about words and really the "fix everything he broke" just hit me wrong. I appreciate your thoughtful posts-- always trigger more thought and consideration of the topic.
It's mercy for them to have a quick and painless death, unlike the death the Russian POW's were given. Damn it I am pissed no human should have to go through what they had to and then call their mother and laugh that they murdered their son, the gloves are OFF, these people are EVIL.

You’re absolutely right. Where is this Hunter is a hero narrative coming from? The guy is a depraved lunatic.
So confused. Who is saying Hunter left it there on purpose?
Yeah I don't think it was exactly voluntary except in choosing to either do this or probably die. Aren't we all just so glad to not be him?
Yes praise God !

Jesus didn't come to bring peace, but a sword
In Biblical times the typical sword was a thick-backed bronze khopesh.

Which makes it a double-edged sword.
Probably literally screwed him, too. The real Biden, anyway.
With all due respect sleepydude, he CANNOT fix everything he broke. Think about it.
What he can fix, he should be allowed to.
God will take care of the rest.
If someone were to plant a landmines in several dozen locations around a battlefield, wouldn't it be the best case scenario for the soldiers if they can catch him and get him to point out where every landmine he planted was?

perhaps we are talking about two different things.
Forgiveness is not the same as letting someone live or working in cooperation.
People don't understand forgiveness. Forgiveness is essential to growth.
It is foolish not to forgive, because you prohibit your own growth. You plant a stake in the ground of your soul saying "I will not".
It's Pride preventing someone from moving on and forgiving. The other person may have asked for forgiveness, yet you hold it away from them. Why? What does it benefit you? Is it only so the offender may grovel and writhe in agony that they have not been relieved of their guilt?

He can't fix those kids
