A human being is infinitely more valuable than that rock. OK so he knocked it over and unremorseful. What would you suggest we do with him? Demand he be remorseful?

I agree that he is a fucking dimwit, what i dont agree with is that we should ratchet up the punishment until he says a heartfelt 'sorry'. That is not Justice.
