It would probably bankrupt the organization as business representatives may have missed appointments and lost deals as but one instance of who knows how many costly inconveniences may have resulted?
Instead incarceration for these five non violents!?
This sentencing is a manifestation of the coercive offshoots of classical liberalism, in this case possibly the "conservative" right-spiral?
As coercive, no less if not more, the progressive offshoot of classical liberalism, the left-spiral that has captured the label "liberal" and ranges from no longer classical liberalism to outright totalitarianism e.g. incarceration of anti abortionists seen praying outside abortion clinics!?
Absurd … both offshoots …
Demand for damages would be far more effective as restitutive justice, and more importantly, from a libertarianism/individualism point of view, morally appropriate …
