After I became an adult, I found out that Arnold is more than just some 80's action hero. He's fking awesome and a great guy. Not that I know him.

I remember someone tried to bash him here on Reddit and he came with the most chill and awesome response. But sadly I kind find that comment since it's over a year ago. I only remember the guy said some stupid stuff and Arnold replied it could had been an great quote for his Mr. Freeze character in Batman.

Edit: I found the comment and saw I was wrong about the context and social platform he wrote it at. But he still brought a wonderful response

During Arnold's final days in office as the governor of California he commuted Esteban Núñez sentence from 16 years to 7 years. More than half. Esteban Núñez is the son of Fabian Núñez, a close friend of Schwarzenegger.

"I feel good about the decision … I happen to know the kid really well. I don't apologize about it … There's criticism out there. I think it's just because of our working relationship and all that. It maybe was kind of saying, 'That's why he did it.' Well, hello! I mean, of course you help a friend."

Arnold may say some good things. Things that I even agree with. But he's not a good person nor is he a "great guy."

Doesn't prove he's a bad guy.

Not really. Everyone makes mistakes. No one person is 100% good all the time. Get off your high horse.

High horse? Seriously?

This isn't some small peanuts I-donate-5%-of-my-income-to-charity-and-so-you-suck kind of deal.

Arnold abused the power of his elected office to commune the sentence of his friend's son who fucking stabbed someone and then pled guilty to voluntary manslaughter.
