The sketchy part is not her not getting convicted. It’s that no charges were even filed. I also enjoyed this bit of info from one of the sources regarding the other DUI incident. Prosecutors in Texas have dropped a 2011 drunken driving citation against Wal-Mart Stores Inc. heiress Alice Walton.

    Not to be an Internet edgelord, but if some billionaire killed one of my family and got away with it, I would make it my life’s mission to hunt them down and make sure they get some kind of justice.

      You would have a great deal of difficulty just getting near them. Billionaires don’t hang out at Walmart - ironically enough in this case.

        This reminds me of that movie “Assault on Wall Street” where basically some dude goes on a killing spree and starts murdering a bunch of wall street people. Except, the guy is framed as a hero, which I assume is because it came out not too long after the 2008 financial crisis (~2013). I watched that movie in like 2017, and it felt antisocial and lunatic-ey.

        I wonder if we’re at a point right now where a similar movie about going on a killing spree against billionaires would do well?

      Driving themselves sorta negates the idea of private security, they’re not mutually exclusive but it would be very weird.
