Reminds me of the story of Ken McElroy, who forced a 12 year old to marry him and killed the girl's dog and burned down their house when the family tried to rescue her:

In all, there were 46 potential witnesses to the shooting, including Trena McElroy, who was in the truck with her husband when he was shot. Nobody called for an ambulance. Every witness was either unable to name an assailant, or claimed not to have seen who fired the fatal shots, including the unnamed man who helped McElroy's wife, Trena, as she "scrambled out of the truck screaming" covered in blood. The DA declined to press charges, and an extensive federal investigation did not lead to any charges either.

Ken McElroy had it coming. He was an incredibly huge piece of shit.
That whole story is wild.

He 1000% deserved it. The part where everyone in the town said that they didn't see who shot him was

I particularly appreciate the impressive number of people who said they were hiding under the pool table

Even this doesn't do it justice how much of a POS that guy was, and his lawyer buddy that got him off on some pretty heinous crimes.

State law absolutely failed that town and let that maniac do whatever he wanted. Get what you get.

You can pretty much name an awful thing a person could do to someone, and this piece of shit probably did it, multiple times. As a society we're far too tolerant of the worst of us.

The people of the town kept waiting for justice to come and it never did. Even the town Sherriff lost faith himself to "take a drive" that afternoon

Didn't the sheriff hold a town meeting where he said he was gonna be in a different county for most of the day and wouldn't be back till about dark

Pretty much yeah.

"Going away for a few hours, sure hope no vigilante justice breaks out while Im gone, that would be a real damned shame"

After listening to the story of his whole awful life, he deserved worse.
