Sounds like you’re just adding insult to injury at that point.
So we turn it into a “Your loved one dies, or you get sued/sit in person for a while” thing and really expect people to be more worried about the law?
I was raised that we don’t negotiate with terrorists.
Great wisdom from the president who nearly died to a pretzel.
Silly.
