Agree totally.

When I watched it I was reminded of the Man who was an enthusiastic participant in the extermination of people at Sobibor concentration camp in Poland. He's lived a long, free life in the USA, was arrested and convicted as an accessory to murder when he was 92 and sentenced to serve five years in prison. But the court allowed him to go home a free man because he was old.

I think the moral must be, if you can get away with it for long enough, people will be duped into thinking you're harmless.
