202. I feel like I'm running in circles
with you guys.

A ruling that appears to reward people for illegal actions (and you have to consider who this ruling affects) will inflame passions and incite MORE screwed up behavior by people who don't put the concepts together right.

The fact that these guys were awarded this money because they were injured by a malevolant party doesn't take away from the fact that they weren't supposed to be here in the first place and giving them things like land can easily be seen as some sort of reward for their actions.

I don't have a problem with them getting compensation so much as I have a problem with them being given the land. It WILL inflame more people, in my opinion.
