I'm inclined to agree. Regardless of what ultimate fate might await him, whether or not he can reasonably be made penitent, I don't think we should rush judgement before he has even had a chance to speak for himself.

[Although Liem said that Tibbs isn't entitled to a fair trial as a human person might be, it still seems negligent to him to decide his fate without so much as hearing from him first.]

But patience is, I fear, not in great supply among many of the current shard-bearers.
