A simple reason "Why Bad Guys Do it. The Bad Guys Think They Will Get Away With It.

Last edited Fri Mar 18, 2022, 02:55 AM - Edit history (2)

......................This includes all bad people .....It is really that simple.................

The common thinking among them is..."No Consequences, & Nothing Will Happen To Me".......and

.................."Everything will be OK, and I Will Get Away With It."........................................

..True of small bad people and the well known bad people like Trump and Putin............

.......... The common thought is that "I am going to get away with it"..........................
.......... I will be, "OK" ..."With No Consequences.".... is what motivates them all.

................................And I believe that that is why they..... "DO IT"...................and..........

..... Also, This is not a new idea. I think it has been written about many times by many great writers, and this .......has been discussed by many great philosophers........................................

........................Again...Not " A New Idea".. but the time has come to mention it again.........................................

.........................Thanks for reading this....

These same Criminals sit back and laugh at the shit they're able to get away with, and figure, why not try and push the envelope a little further each subsequent time.

It's why there's a far greater chance that TFG will win the Presidential Election in 2024, than it is he will be indicted or face ANY charges whatsoever, for the multitude of crimes he's committed, nor for that matter, the crimes he is yet to commit.

I never said that ..."BAD GUYS GET AWAY WITH THAT".....

....That is my opinion on ........"How the Bad Guys Think"..........................................

It is obvious and history shows us that .MANY..BAD GUYS DO ...NOT ....GET AWAY WITH IT.....

Many bad guys are killed by the good guys or end up in prison for the rest of their lives.........................

.................................History proves that too..............................

8. He won't win in '24. Too many negative things...

coming out against him, investigations, financial problems, sexual assault allegations allowed to proceed, videos of his worsening incoherence keep popping up, more and more republicans coming out against him, him calling Putin, the brutal, killer dictator, a genius...nah, too many negatives.

He's not getting out of the republican primaries, much less getting elected again.

6. I respectfully disagree. Many are caught and pay a huge price.

.....They are NOT ABOVE THE LAW!!!

...Some police and FBI spend their entire lives catching them. And the police and FBI often catch them and
the bad people get fair trials and go to prison for a very long time. Lots of examples of that in history.

7. Criminals think they'll get away with it, yes, think they're too smart to get caught.

Why, in my opinion, Trump going to prison won't deter any other criminal or corruption. Consequences and punishment don't deter criminals, just regular people who get nervous (why I resist the temptation to jaywalk because of the time I started to and didn't notice a police car waiting for the light to change -- an officer yelled at me over the loudspeaker thing and it was very embarrassing, I stopped my life of crime right then and there).
