I don't know anything about Sabatini or his past.

In criminal law we have the concept of restitution, of paying your debt to society. There are no second chances in the court of public opinion, no punishment severe enough, no act of restitution sincere enough.

Should we have locked Kevin Mitnick out of society forever? Danny Trejo? Some people can turn it around and do good things in the world.

This just isn't true. Look into how Dan Harmon gave a genuine apology and accounting for his wrongdoing and was forgiven. Can you point to Sabatini doing anything that even arguably rises to that level of contrition?


What did Sabatini do that requires an apology? People shouldn't be forced to apologize when they didn't do anything wrong.


Should a lack of contrition prevent Sabatini from ever working again? He should be indefinitely held in contempt of the court of public opinion?

I fully understand criticism of his personal manner but I have not seen much criticism of his actual work. Why not allow a position where he is not managing career paths?

Edit: He lost his positions, he suffered consequences. When are the consequences enough, is there ever a point?
