So where do you draw the line?
So we're supposed to believe him that this is all he did, and he was never the trigger man in some other murder that the cops never caught him for? Or should we forgive and forget for that too, if it has been long enough?
No one is saying the guy has no right to live - but that doesn't mean that every possible career and government contracts etc. should help enrich him as if he's never done some seriously wrong things in his past. If someone was a former KKK member, or heck even current KKK member, I don't care if he's working at the Amazon fulfillment center helping deliver my purchases, or works as a roughneck drilling for the oil that will eventually end up in my gas tank. But I sure as hell do care if he's getting rich off my tax dollars! (or would if I was a citizen of Utah)
