Economic Meltdown (seconda parte)

And still you keep defending him.

I'm not defending him. I'm saying that his punishment was too harsh, and that the authorities put two old men in federal prison for the "crime" of not following the Government's rules for shipping flowers, which after proper licensing of the greenhouse made what they did not a crime at all.

Yes, and now there only two such growers, because Arias allowed himself to get criminally involved with Norris.

Well, Arias now has a criminal record for smuggling endangered species. They can't very well reward a "criminal".

Could that be related to the well-armed citizens with out-spoken hatred towards authorities in your country?

Right. Our government is in mortal fear of old men growing flowers, and a natural foods distributor. Our citizens have been well armed for over 200 years.
