You wanted to know why we put stock in Santa over Judge Pal. Not in general, but here on Legion World, and more specifically Dipper and me.

Nevermind the fact that Santa himself shouldn't be held responsible for other people using his image to commit crimes, especially since he can't actually do anything about it while locked up in jail. What those people did was horrible. I'm not disagreeing with that. I'm from New York, I've heard my share of stories about people using his image for all sort so criminal enterprises.

But at the same time holding him at fault for it would be like blaming you for crimes someone else committed while impersonating a Judge.
