I can partially agree with you and probably wouldn't be as judgemental if he had done his nasty deed then, after caught, done something to correct the damage his actions caused. What I can't condone is forget the fact that he had his kids change license plates, harrassed others then paid a paltry pocket change fine. From anything I've seen, other then an 'apology' letter' he has made no attempt to further himself by volunteering somewhere or even making a sizeable donnation in some charitable organization that proves his worth. Had he done something over and above paying that small fine, a misdemeanor violation, I might have a bit of respect for someone who has become a public figure in the huge RV industry.
Then there is that question of a person doing something he is ashamed of - yeah, most of us have, but most of us are not publically known and most of us probably haven't damaged a national treasure such as in Moab, Utah.
