Kidnapping for ransom is basically a dead enterprise in the US because of laws essentially forbidding the paying of ransom. Your appeal to emotion is exactly the sort of thing that ransomware gangs want people to hear because its how they make money. In the long run though its a terrible idea.

This is bullshit. US laws do not prohibit ransom payments except to sanctioned and/or designated entities which tend to not operate within the US.
