"What if he was legal and paid his taxes?"
Straw man. He was not legal and we have no idea whether he paid taxes. Maybe we can check with whomever's identity he stole?
Not a strawman in the slightest, apart from the fact that to some on FR, saying "strawman" means "I am incapable of addressing your point." I was responding directly to a comment that claims the law was correctly applied. So is it correctly applied to all of us, or not?
