    Billionaires don’t live in their community and has no say in the local operations of their community. The purpose of a lawsuit is to 1) compensate victims, and 2) Discourage repeating the situation

    Akins raped at least a dozen different children over more than a decade. That doesn’t happen without other people knowing about it, but they stayed silent. He received a rather lenient 15 year sentence. Without some additional punitive measure, it’ll just happen again. Townspeople didn’t seem to complain when he was raping children, but now they’re complaining that it’ll cost them money

    At least now they’ll properly deal with sexual predators rather than ignoring the issue
