You don't just get to make up special rules for punishing specific people.
Everyone is tried under the same rules.
Hard disagree on that. Just arguing to argue here, I don't care about any of the drama I was having a blast reading but, this specifically, I have qualms with.
Your past crimes or altercations (for lack of better words), no matter how unrelated to the current "drama", definitely matter and changes how you are dealt with. Here, in real life, anywhere.
At school, at work, with the police, with your wife, your mom. It ALWAYS matter.
