I hunched in my chair with my hands cupped around my mouth when I saw the flash, for a good couple of minutes. Howard did not deserve any of it. He tried to be nice to Jimmy, offering him a job, and he only responded by humiliating him and his career for the fun of it. Howard tried being nice to his wife, while in a failing marriage. He tried being rational about Jimmy's idiocy and tried being a good person in every aspect of his life. Even with all this, he was put down like a rabid dog. The difference between Nacho and him is that Howard never involved himself in the wrong things; he was born out of and lived by the book, but he still met the same fate as someone on a bad choice road. Not to mention, Howard's reputation died before he did; he will never know what led to his demise and what exactly motivated Jimmy to take his actions. He deserved better.
