I was happy forgetting he exists. Can we just do that?

[-] foggy@lemmy.world 23 points 2 years ago

Once he's locked away I'm game.

And aid prefer to only hear that he's been locked up; nothing else until that happens or fails to happen.

[-] Decoy321@lemmy.world 45 points 2 years ago

So you're saying there's a chance we may never see or hear from him again?

[-] QuantumStorm@lemmy.world 38 points 2 years ago

Fucking hopefully. And hopefully we never hear about him again because he's rotting behind bars.

[-] Pandantic@lemmy.world 32 points 2 years ago

Why? Why release someone on house arrest who is a FUCKING RAPIST AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING GANG LEADER? How is that in the best interests of anyone but this POS?

What do you mean? Clearly it benefits the people he paid off to get out. That’s how it works for rich people.

Unless of course you royally piss off the super rich and then you’re epsteined.

Hopefully they charge him with something.

That he did, of course.

Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title.
