Exactly (and I’m not understanding your not seeing a difference). As this happened in a US city, he’s entitled to all the consideration our constitution gives. Does he deserve it? Not in my mind.

I don’t know any other way to put it. In common English usage, if you say someone doesn’t deserve something, you’re saying it should be taken away from them. If you say someone deserves something, you’re saying that’s what they should get.

You’re using it in a way contrary to common usage; you explained yourself, so that’s fine, but don’t expect people to understand you’re using it in this alternate meaning.
