Unfortunately, it's the kind of role that'll attract predators, even though I'm sure most of the people involved just want to do good. Like teaching and abusers and nurses and serial killing, etc.

No, they said that most of them want to do good. So not like cops.

+ politicians. Basically any position that grants power over others — especially the weak and vulnerable — which is why there should be an "abuse of power multiplier" applied to these criminals more than any other.

Politicians and other parties who engage in political or regulatory corruption should get life in prison, as they destroy the public trust in democracy and institutions. Same for the justice system.

That multiplier should include sledgehammers in some way.

Calling the SS "the rock stars of their time" is at best a really stupid thing to say. And at worst, welp.

I'm just mad that they ruined a great fit and mustache in the same decade. I'm not supporting the people that did those things or the people that think they looked like rockstars.
