Not only is he evil, he’s completely unlikeable.
Don’t take me literally, this is a metaphor only.
In movies like gangster ones and Westerns I always cringe at the stupid idea of punching a couple of henchmen to knock them out and then the hero goes on to do something else. A few minutes later, one henchman woke up, and now has a gun to the head of an innocent hostage and the hero has to drop his gun.
Metaphorically only, Holder should have been politically and legally finished off and not just allowed to walk away. He comes back and is a left wing hero and may win an election in a hell hole area (like Chicago).
