I really don't know how to process this. Should I block him? Ignore him? Write him an angry letter? Because I'm furious (for the second time in four days).
So, let me get this straight. Voting republican, questioning the wrong elections, not bowing at the altar of Slo Joe, abortion on demand, LGBTQXYZWTF and climate change are all among reasons to disown family and friends, but you have to ask the hive mind about how to handle a friend who has been charged (and I'm guessing convicted since it was 2 years ago and you won't say) with something like this?
Not saying there is really an automatic response. Devil is always in the details of the charges and responses, and there are considerations like whether the person wants help and if one is in a position to offer that help or not, but it's not something to put up for an internet poll to figure out.
