In my personal opinion, the Ed Block organization deserves in the least to have a dramatic drop in donations and further to have its 501(c)3 revoked as this organization's publicly stated mission is severely VIOLATED with this award.

My. God. I cannot believe they gave him this reward. Let's think about some other crimes, shall we? Let's say someone committed some other horrific crime (for kicks let's use strangling & torture) and then went on to pay their debt to society, get some therapy etc, etc. DO YOU GIVE THEM AN AWARD FOR THEIR DUTY TO CLEAN UP THEIR ACT A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME LATER? No. Maybe if you dedicated your life to eradicate an act you participated in (& only stopped because you got caught)... maybe 20 years later if you really put some real effort in and proved that you weren't just in it for the PR, maybe then you would deserve it. Not a second sooner. I think it is safe to say *this* is a second sooner. Oh. My. God. I cannot believe they gave him this reward. Let’s think about some other crimes, shall we?

This arrogant SOB deserves no award and it kills me how quickly people forget. This both saddens and sickens me. This arrogant SOB deserves no award and it kills me how quickly people forget.
