I understand the sentiment. But have you read into his upbringing?

I shed no tears for adult Jensen and his actions. I do fear for others like him who can be exploited by powerful men with malevolent motives.

Something I don’t here very often: Its ok to have sympathy for people while at the same time, wanting them held to the fullest account of the law.

Exactly. I want this man to face justice, but what I really want is to dismantle the ecosystem of grifters that keep stirring up people like him in order to make money. I do feel a little bad for him. I wish that things had not ended up this way. Some people are easily misled because they are raised to be easily misled. We probably can't fix that. The root of the problem is those who would mislead. It feels hollow if the ones truly responsible are not also in chains.

It can be fixed with regulation of news and “news” broadcasting. Make opinion programs spouting lies show large banner on those programs stating “statements are for entertainment and May be false” at all times.
