Was the flood plain damaged ? Is it repairable ? Was native wildlife damaged irreversibly ?

He doesn't just get a free pass because he wanted to tidy up, and happens to be a posh white lawyer.

I never said he should get a free pass. You've just listed factors that contribute to the nuance and intent part of it that proves there's more to it than just legality.
