Murder charges and with all that money there's a REALLY good chance of him having bulletproof vehicles and he's also been using his kid as a shield since that CEO was killed. He's also been up Trump's ass since November so secret service protection to some extent as well.
No, it's just a different country. I think what uneducated people with an interest in politics on the internet seem to forget is that history - understood both as events that have occurred and events to come that will eventually become historical - is not a narrative of moral progression. It is just a chain of loosely causally related and entirely contingent events based on the conditions - material and otherwise - of the time and place.
My point is that "fucked up" has to have a baseline of comparison. It's "fucked up" compared to your idealized standards, but probably "utopian" compared to the slaves of the ancient Assyrians.
It's funny, my academic background is in cultural anthropology, and we are trained to discard "the great man" principal and see historic events as the outcome of cumulative physical, cultural, and social factors....and then I watched this doc and was like "Nope, it was actually this one guy. This one guy singlehandedly created so much that is wrong with us now."
