This was so long ago and he hasn’t killed anyone or done any thing of the sort since then. Who cares ? It is up to the system to deal with him

"the system" has given life sentences to people for marijuana charges while people who literally helped a hate group shoot at minorities go free. The system is broken, and i assure you, plenty of people care

His company, Banjo, was awarded surveillance contracts for the state of Utah. The state was paying Banjo tens of millions of dollars and giving them access to untold amounts of state surveillance data.

As a resident of Utah, I do not want my tax dollars sending surveillance data about me to a company founded and run by a white supremacist who assisted in shooting up a synagogue and then admitted to continuing his white supremacist associations long after the conviction.

Well as a resident of Utah, you may not have as much to worry about anymore.

A lot of people care, in general, if money they pay - or which is acquired by virtue of their custom (eg money a company gets by unlawfully mining 'clients' social data, as appears to be the case here) - goes then to fund malevolent actions such as racist violence.

The subject here, Patton, may be reformed, but there's a substantial possibility they are not and are using their ill-gotten money to fund further hate crime, or other anti-social racist activity.

You have zero evidence of that. Anything is "substantially possible" if your bar for evidence is non-existent.
