what did the most awful person you know do and did they get what they deserved?

Won’t tell you the what, but nah, I’m still here.

No, one of them became president and the other one won the November election

I love wealthy people like that.

It's like they know on some unconscious level just how small and insignificant they really are, but can't pair it mentally with the fortune they find themselves in.

So rather than deal with the idea of luck and circumstance being the main factors of their existence, they lean hard on the idea that they deserve it by merit of simply being a superior being to others, and reinforce this belief into their head everyday with small acts of cruelty upon others.

I laugh at the sheer insecurity of it.

She was a manager who bullied a handful of people out of their jobs. She tried it on me as well, but I was an outside employee on site to do tech support and my manager and company backed me up. Still a horrible time in my life.

The weird thing is, even after her bosses figured out what she was doing to her staff and put her on a short leash with restrictions on what she could do or say, she still kept it up. Maybe it was compulsive behaviour. A little while later she suddenly announced that she was leaving to start a business as a life coach(!) so reading between the lines it was probably a case of quit or be fired.

I bumped into her again and she was working as a kind of HR manager for students at a university. But I also just checked her Linkedin page and it looks like she's doing life coaching again. This is a small industry and word gets around so if there's justice in the universe, she's been black-balled.

I knew someone who raped both his daughters.

He was prosecuted and took a plea deal, probably offered to spare them a trial. I think he did about ten years in prison, which I would argue is less punishment than he deserved.

[ricosuave@feddit.cl]

i agree, he deserved a life sentence. just TEN years for raping his daughters?

[zak@lemmy.world]

If I remember right, he would have been eligible for a life sentence for the original charges.

[ricosuave@feddit.cl]

that makes a lot of sense. why wasn’t he given one?

[justanotherkay@lemmy.world]

Because he took a plea deal, which was probably offered so that they wouldn't have to hold a trial. At least, that's what I gathered from the information at hand

After all they did in just the first weeks, I highly doubt that there'll be just another fair following the regular rules. I really hope I'm wrong though.

[lightnsfw@reddthat.com]

Sexually abused a child. He's in prison but still was able to send a message to someone in our group expressing his hope to hang out again when he gets out. So no, he didn't get what he deserved.

I don't know if he was the most awful person I ever knew, but in the 45 minutes I've known him, he talked about his trip in Thailand that was all about drugs and women in a disturbing manner. He offered me to play throwing giant switchblades at a dartboard, which I accepted, not wanting to appear rude. Porn was playing and bags of white powder were laying around on the coffee table while we wrecked the dartboard completely. I can't recall but I think there were also pictures of people on them to which he said that it would make the game more interesting. He then showed me the rest of his apartment. I thanked him, told him that I would need some time to think about becoming his roomie and would call him back and walked out of there never to return there again.

Didn't call the police or mentioned this to anybody and thankfully never saw him again, so no idea.

Nailed it.
