content: Linus is the last person any of us should feel sorry for. This is entirely his fault.  From his fire-bellied rants prior to this capitulation, it's obvious that he at some point had the spine to resist this. You can't just point to him and say "man, it's pitiful that he wasn't strong enough to resist, poor fuck." because you have to know he willingly laid down to accept this. Whatever happens from here on out, it's entirely his fault for not doing what's right.
