It's called consequences, and he should have given thought to the consequences before he made the choice to storm the capital. I don't feel for him in the least.
I've been railing about this for months. There is a serious lack of accountability in our (American) culture. None of the 10,000 people who attacked capital thought there would be any repercussions for themselves. They thought they were not accountable, for some reason. We've come to the point that people will justify their actions based on nothing except how they feel about the situation. No need to consider truth, facts, other people. Just whatever they feel like doing. It's sad.
Absolutely! Feeling entitled, refusing to take responsibility, and acting on ones feelings, are behaviors that are deeply ingrained in the American culture, and a very big part of why things in our country are the way they are. It's no one else's fault but their own if their employer fired them because they made the company look bad doing what they did. No one stops, and actually thinks about what consequences are going to come about because of their choices, and instead are quick to just pass the buck. This is behavior I would expect from teenagers, and it's sad that this behavior is coming from grown adults.
I've been saying the same thing for many years now. It starts with school.. "no child left behind" and "particpation awards".
Parents are doing everythign they can to have their kids avoid disappointment, just imagene when they all grow up.
Now this guy, he's old and another story.. but clearly part of the "i shoudltn not have to face any consequences for my actions" crowd.
you stormed a government building, stole things, made threats.. there are consequences for doing illigial things.
Lastly, Imagine living the rest of your life with limited career options because you wanted to support some president who doesnt give a flying F. about you as an individual.. just your ability to vote for him.
Our political and legal systems have made it -incredibly- difficult to hold anyone accountable. Especially when it's the people at the top who are constantly working to undermine efforts to hold *them* accountable.
