But unlike Shkreli, some of this fucker’s crimes constituted violence, so no, just no.

Let him ride it out in the slammer.

His name might not be as familiar as Shkreli’s and Weinstein’s and all the other famous scumbags who think COVID-19 is their get-out-of-jail-free card, but Baca ran a truly nightmarish corner of the American carceral state that makes his current imprisonment look like a resort vacation. He should stay in the slammer.

Between this, and stories like red-light cameras not making any money, at least firms making microscopic violins should be seeing an rise in business.
