The sketchy part is not her not getting convicted. It's that no charges were even filed. I also enjoyed this bit of info from one of the sources regarding the other DUI incident. Prosecutors in Texas have dropped a 2011 drunken driving citation against Wal-Mart Stores Inc. heiress Alice Walton.

Not to be an Internet edgelord, but if some billionaire killed one of my family and got away with it, I would make it my life's mission to hunt them down and make sure they get some kind of justice.

You would have a great deal of difficulty just getting near them. Billionaires don't hang out at Walmart - ironically enough in this case.

Neither does it's CEO. They only care about shareholder meetings.

This reminds me of that movie "Assault on Wall Street" where basically some dude goes on a killing spree and starts murdering a bunch of wall street people. Except, the guy is framed as a hero, which I assume is because it came out not too long after the 2008 financial crisis (~2013). I watched that movie in like 2017, and it felt antisocial and lunatic-ey.

I wonder if we're at a point right now where a similar movie about going on a killing spree against billionaires would do well?

I feel like we're at a point right now that if someone actually started popping off billionaires a significant portion of the population would cheer.

I would devot my life to ruin them.

Driving themselves sorta negates the idea of private security, they're not mutually exclusive but it would be very weird.
