All he had to do was take the 20K and he'd still have a job, still have a home, not be living in a car, and he could even pay filing fees for his lolsuits and ChatGREEpt tokens.
You don't understand. Think of the progression of wrongdoing:
They stole his girlfriend Taylor Swift
They stole his song
They stole his book
they killed his best friend and only witness
They stole his father and brother.
They stole Utah
they stole his church
they stole his only sister
They stole his brothel manager and girlfriend Natalie Banks
They stole his residence - times 3
they stole his job - times infinity
they stole his $200,000
They stole his education and forced him to buy a motor home with student loans
they stole his unemployment benefits
they stole his brothel
they stole his coffee shop
And the cops do nothing! Somehow Hardin orchestrated this mob action against Russell and he must pay!
Don't give up the ship Russell! There is only one thing left that you have that they can't steal (no, it's not dignity). it's content Russell! Keep delivering! Don't let them take that away from you!
