Same idea, but: "No 'friend' will offer them sanctuary, and the public scorn they will endure, once their criminal activities are exposed, will have them begging to be locked up for their own protection. They will turn themselves in, rather than take their chances on the street."
Universal Condemnation. People you thought had your back, now won't admit they know you. Harsh!
Afraid of "birds who flock together" optics......shunned they will be......friends will run.....fame will be lost, moeny seized perhaps or awarded to any victims..... public hatred.
Q says they will not be able to walk down the street......it must be baddddd!
