Sorry buddy, the law's the law

Jordan Gonnering is a student at the University of Wisconsin. Earlier this month, he came home to find the corpse of his murdered fiancee. Not a good time. Unsurprisingly, Gonnering kinda doesn't want to live in that apartment anymore. Trouble his, he's still got a 16 month lease.

The Dean of Students at UW-Madison says that she hasn't been able to convince the company that owns the building to change its position after speaking to them on behalf of Gonnering. In fact, Gonnering even offered to move into another property owned by the management company but, so far, the owner of that property company isn't budging, simply saying he wants to talk to Gonnering about things. He notes that the law is the law, and he's gotta treat everyone fair and equally.

Ok, fine. I take no issue with that. But the law allows you to be compassionate, assfuck. If both sides agree to allow the lease to be broken, or agree that move it over to another unit, there's nothing unfair or unequal about that. Jesus.
