People that it's just awkward aren't dead

Sometimes people do some fucked up shit that it's weird that they're still alive afterwards. Sometimes it's something so widely publicized that it's quite certain that the person is never, ever, anywhere in the world, going to be at a restaurant where there won't be people whispering, "Can you believe it, it's that guy." 

This type of shame is something so powerful an ubiquitous that, as crazy as they are, you know that most mass-murderers have it. For instance, it's weird to think that the Batman killer is still alive. It's expected for him to have killed himself, right? It's what these guys usually do. As insane as they are, they realize very clearly that they're hurting people in the most horrible way, and that it's irreversible, and they really don't want to face the consequences of continuing to live a life where they have done that. 

It's weird for me that Chris Brown isn't dead, also. Not to try to assume too much about what kind of person Rihanna is, but I'm just saying that I actually had a crazy girlfriend recently, the type that really won't shut up after you've begged her to, the type that - and this is fucked up but I think it's not all that rare - seems like she actually wants you to kill her so that you go to jail, just because you're saying something logical and she can't stand it that you're right. (By the way, one of her ex-boyfriends actually did beat her almost to death.) But still, man, you just walk away. I mean, we real people sometimes have that type of real-life problem where you actually can't afford to go anywhere else, but of course to Chris Brown it's easy to check into a great hotel no matter when and go hit some watermellons with a baseball bat. And he really messed her up. It wasn't just that first "enough!" punch; he kept going, thankfully not all the way, but man. Now he's doing concerts again, showing his face, and people are fine with it. Not that he should go to jail for life, but, well, it's weird. 

And then there's this guy. His name is Howard Lederer, and until not so long ago he seemed like a very respectable poker pro. This guy founded Full Tilt, and he stole some 100 million dollars from online poker players. He sat out for a year, and guess what, now he's back. Here he's seen playing high-stakes at the Bellagio. Yes, with the suckers' money. I actually hate him more than Chris Brown, because, well, that singer definitely did not plan to kill his girlfriend. He just went off in a crazy rage - something I think I'd never do, thank God I do not have a short temper that would make this likely, but if you ask me, I would also not like to be judged based on my worst moments. But Lederer, the cunning that goes into pretending that you have the money of millions of people safely tucked away for whenever they need to withdraw it, when you in fact have spent on your...

wait for it...

42-million-dollar house, and God knows what else - well, you should have killed yourself, and I don't see how there aren't at least a dozen players at that very casino who would kill you in the right circumstances.
