This from the person equating 3 months in a Western prison with having your hand chopped off?

How is any logical, reasoned debate supposed to follow from this? How is having a limb amputated supposed to compare to Aaron's case?

stop and ask yourself exactly why you think i'm equating anything here.

it's just the first straw-man misinterpretation you could invent to respond in any way, isn't it?

in any case, you've conceded that the reasonableness of the plea deal is the issue here and personal responsibility for entering the server room is irrelevant.
