As a Mohist, it is clear that my father should be punished for his crimes. The filial bond is secondary to the responsibility of the individual to the community at large. My father treated someone or something disrespectfully, which violates one of the primary principles of Mohism. Knowingly committing a crime serves no practical purpose, resulting in nothing except for selfish satifaction, a trait which does not improve the community in any way.
