Serious Can't believe they got away with it!

[VisionofMilotic]

Many ages ago I made a thread about people who were imprisoned or executed that could have been innocent of crimes they were convicted of. Today let's check out the other side of the moon. Do you know any stories of folks who appeared guilty as heck of something very serious, but either went free or got off with a lighter sentence than should have been?

Casey Anthony is one that is burned in my memory. She was caught in endless lies, even going so far as to fabricate this character of a nanny out of thin air, and claim this fictional entity, who happened to be Latina, abducted her daughter Caylee. She also refused to report her child missing even after a month went by, always pretending she was somewhere else as she went out to party, all the while she literally had the smell of a dead body coming from her car at the mechanics. It was astonishing that this psychopath wasn't convicted, and it's sickening to see her walk free and go around making reality shows.

Did you ever follow a situation like this that seemed like a no-brainer, but there was still no justice to be had?

Kyle Rittenhouse.

-came from out of state
-using a gun he was not legally allowed to use yet
-lied about being an EMT
-this happened in a country with a rampant mass shooting problem and a long history of the government violently suppressing dissent

And we were really supposed to believe that he was acting in self-defense and not the BLM protesters? That he really had innocent intentions there? Yet he got off scot free and became a GOP celebrity.

There's so many people from just America alone though that could fit into this thread since a lot of our politicians, police, wealthy people, etc. get away with crimes all the time. Meanwhile you can end up dead because you were driving while Black or are transgender and exist, or spend time in jail because you were peacefully protesting genocide or had an ounce of drugs on you.

Hope I'm not going too obvious here, but the president of the USA himself. He is a convicted felon. He incited a (failed) insurrection, he tried to steal the 2020 election, is a civilly-liable sex predator and so much more. He is a filthy criminal. He talks all of the time about how we need to be afraid of immigrants and trans people. I'm like NO. I will not be distracted from the fact that a filthy criminal is sitting in the oval office.

I feel utterly disgusted that he got away with all of that. I feel utterly disgusted that people voted for him despite how utterly depraved he is in every single way (which, of course, naturally bleeds into his rule). And it makes me even more sick that people voting for him caused him to avoid any justice.

I want this all to be a nightmare that I wake up from. It's so sick.
