@HeerJeet i think you have to completely divorce witness protection from penalties/atonement. just pic unrelated imho. i think we've got to establish some story about whether we think 'lifestyles' are what produce bad acts, or if there are other circumstances that can change... — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
@HeerJeet uhh well witness protection demands you halt all continuity with your former life because it's in your best interest to do so, considering that you acted as an informant or testified against a known violent criminal. yeah, it's outrageous — bc...murder is outrageous? — PolitiTweet.org

@kukito2020 @hodgman @HeerJeet to be clear i'm not asking for forgiveness for my bad takes. i stand by them — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig
@HeerJeet Witness protection isn't a program that offers people who've done bad things a shot at starting over...not intended as a kind of forgiveness or restoration, just a harm-reduction program to facilitate criminal investigations — PolitiTweet.org

@AllezLesBoulez woah woah -- i didn't say the person should be permitted to repeat the *offense*! but the offense wasn't going to frat parties, the offense was having violent outbursts at frat parties. i'd ask the person if they were up for it, if they knew how and why they'd changed, etc. — PolitiTweet.org

"i think forgiveness is an important virtue across the board" -> always some guy with: UH THEN WHY DON'T YOU WRITE ABOUT [this thing i've written about in the new york times.] the urge to say 'yes that's true, but here are reasons i can ignore that truth' is revealing imho — PolitiTweet.org

write constantly about capital punishment — not the easy cases where the guy didn't even do it, but the hard ones, where the guy definitely did it — and have written about AEDPA, ADAA '86/'88, from hence we receive crack/cocaine sentencing disparities. literally report on this — PolitiTweet.org

i think that's the point in 'some' continuity: if they're 'forgiven' but are expected to go somewhere else, do something else, make different friends, take up different work, make a clean break with who they were — that's just exile. there's no restoration there. — PolitiTweet.org
