but first, let's FIRE that SOB first
he had no idea how bad it is getting thrown into jail, no matter the reason, even worst when you are innocent
INCOMPETENT, NAIVE bastard, he would be the very own criminal he despised in the long run if unchecked
idk if it's "cliché" or "trope"/etc, but the:
"ohhh, the X from 300 years ago had that name" is super annoying.. in this case you're the mayor or whatever and you've never heard anyone else with that name... There's no reason to have that unless it's a crazy name... or even if it was what's the point in general... if someone was born with "dracula" or "hit*er" as their name, anyone that says "ohh, that's the name from X ago" is gonna be called stupid.
