Harless deserved to lose the position he abused. He deserves to lose a lot more, but at a minimum, he deserved that. This is not in question. That said, however, while I'm glad to see he won't be able to abuse the public from that position further, I hate to see someone lose his job in this economy, if for no other reason than that if he has a family, they don't deserve to pay for his transgressions.
Regardless of that, however, one person is responsible for his losing that job. It's not the citizen who he threatened. It's not his chief or his mayor. It's Daniel Harless.
I hope he learns something of real value from this. I hope he gets whatever help he needs, but I hope he does it while earning his living picking up garbage cans or welcoming people to Wal Mart....or really, any position in which he has no sway over another person's life.
Blessings,
Bill
