Honestly, after the week we’ve had, these kinds of people are who I want to hear about. They learned, regretted, and became better. They give me hope.
There’s a chance that some of this is not as genuine as it seems, sure—Riddle mentions his job prospects here, and one could make an argument for the publicity of doing this. But I’ve had enough negativity for a while, and I’d like to believe it’s honest.
I don’t think job prospects is the reason. Assuming they’re not quite repentent, it’s easier to get a job with a clean criminal record than with a rap sheet and some publicity about feeling remorse. Especially in a Trump world that will hate you for turning against the man who pardoned you.
Nah. I think they’re really repentent, or stupid enough to prefer any publicity - even dangerous publicity, because they’re going to draw the ire of many magats doing this - over anonymous lack of consequences for what they did.
