Apology accepted but that should not substitute for the punishment should get for violating the law. Otherwise everybody can just fall fowl of the law, apologize and move on. The gathering was not only breaking the law but it was also insensitive given the context of the times we are in. People are in hospital gasping for air to survive and you were partying wildly and to add insult to injury you decided to post the wild party on social media! To prove what?
