As to the subject of “Redemption”: Sorry if this is a repeat of prior comments but Redemption does not imply that you can use your “Get Out of Jail Free” card. One’s redemption will typically be associated with pain or discomfort - that’s how “redemption” works. Someone has to pay the price.
In this case, public acts on this young man’s part to show society that he’s not a hater of AA’s or an Anti-Semite seem appropriate. He will go on and have a good life. Whether he will have a life enriched by wisdom and humility will be entirely up to him.
