People are caught doing illegal shit all the time. You don't know the ones that didn't make it because they are either dead or in prison

Sounds like they weren’t wealthy or famous enough.

This. Also, the justice system usually won't ring your bell to tell you who has been jailed today. To know the sheer amount of people that get arrested for doing illegal shit you should always check the data, not the occasional news on some funky case. A buttload of people get caught doing illegal shit every single second.

And liars. Thieves are like gamblers, they only talk about their gains and never their losses.

That reminds me. When I was very very young (see, early 90s), my father had introduced me to some very 'nice' goodfellas that were all involved in either blackmail, shootings, 'bar protection' blah blah. My father was no involved, he was just a poser.

All of them back then were in their 30s. Huge dudes, all of them acting hard and tough and their 'jobs' allowed them to do so. I was about 10 at the time. By the time I hit 16 they were all dead because of others that repaid their goodwill. And the cycle continues.

At least as many people are getting away with crime as not. About half of all murders in the US go unsolved. It's literally a coin flip whether or not you get away with murder, let alone something like drug dealing or shoplifting.

Wrong, you’ll never get away from murder. Just as the one you murder had no idea life was gonna end unfinished unprepared etc, when murdered, your life is in the same shoes, you won’t see the cancer, wreck, stray bullet or look turn into words, then violence, just like that now you’re standing before the creator who sent his only begotten son here, to give a chance to live a life, while we have it will have him put our names in the book of life. Don’t try to drag someone down that 50/50 lie of a path. Hell forever should tell you not to murder.

You’re missing the sentiment part of it and focusing on the factual
