It is against natural justice, for sure, to inflict double punishment for a single offense committed. Let us give a chance to the person who had felt deep remorse over the crime he committed to join the mainstream of public life and to turn a new leaf in life — to be of great utility not only to his family but also to society at large.Thank you to Thomas Higgins for his timely analysis of the threat Christian nationalism poses to our society .
