newsI don't think any fine will teach him a lesson. He'll require a bit of time in jail to get the message.
Oh I think the locals beat him up and he sued them.
Good luck at trial buddy. I'm pretty sure he fell down and there wasn't a single person around to see otherwise.
A tourist who threw a huge rock at an endangered Hawaiian monk seal in Maui boasted that he didn’t care about the consequences because he’s “rich” — before he was detained over the attack.
Sounds like he is mocking the justice system or implying laws are for poor people only, he should be denied bail, and force him to community labor or jail.
Oh, you're rich? Jail time it is, then, because the fine won't mean shit to you.
The reason fines are ever an alternative is to let rich people off.
Na, make an example out of hi. Take all of his money, give it to wildlife charities, and execute him.
Would there be any legal defence to killing certain rich people along the lines of "They objectively damage society at large and a relatively small number of deaths would act as a deterrent against future acts against society"?
The "rich guy" got beat up by at least one person, but (much like with Luigi Mangione) no one in Hawaii seems to recognize the alleged attacker.
For common sense judges there would be, unfortunately, laws are being written to protect rich fucks.
In a civilized society, this sort of behaviour should have resulted in a good old beating.
It did.
