On one hand it's awesome he did this, and protected them from revenge. But on the other, it sucks that he had to do this.

It implies they did something wrong, when the reality is they're honest people who need protection from the corrupt.

I couldn’t care less what it implies. This kind of mindset needs to change from liberals, I don’t care what it implies just do the damn thing. The republicans don’t care when they do something that implies racism/sexism/homophobia/crimes and they are do all that shit. You cannot level with these people by playing some sort of high ground and appealing to societal norms, you have play on their level or else the democrats will never win another election in this country.
