Should that debt be paid by Li? I don't know. Morally, it feels like it should be, but that's not how the legal system works. It's not how any modern legal system works. We don't base punishment or rehabilitation tactics on what is owed to the victims.

Whether we should or not is a different conversation. We don't measure crimes by how many people saw it, how many family members were impacted, how horrible it was for the first responders, and thats the way it should be in my opinion. The law should be as objective as possible. You're arguing for subjective law.
I'm arguing the Health Care system should ramp it up, and without any cost considerations, and no questions asked offer these people the absolute best treatment possible.... like Li was afforded.
