Keep going, do more.

Yup. There are few better feelings than when someone who’s gotten away with evil for **years** finally has the realization their time has come. My grandpa had some pretty great stories of that happening to the original Nazis, for the morale boost! _______ He told me some stories of postwar Poland. Even long after the war, there were many German soldiers/SS still caught behind lines in Eastern europe, many scared to go home (rightfully) because they’d be caught on the way. So they hid and tried to live normal lives, well into the 1950s and even 1960s. Inevitably, some would be caught. And even long after judicial prosecutions stopped for all but the worst of these cases, there was such a **strong** sense of justice among the people (at least in the small town he grew up in) that everyone agreed these people just *had* to be punished for what they had done, even if they were young at the time. There was a tacit agreement with the authorities – they’d turn a blind eye to the punishment of captured Nazis, as long as they weren’t killed or maimed. You might think that limited the amount of justice that could be dispensed, but the people got pretty creative. ______________ He shared the story where a former SS was caught near their polish town in the late 50s. The local council (unofficial, but my grandfather was part of it) took him in, held a hearing, found him culpable for his offenses, and arranged for his punishment. He was defiant and basically said “you know you’ll get in trouble if I’m killed or hurt, what are you going to do to me?” Well. They took him to a cow barn on one of the citizen’s farms. Took him inside, tied his hands and feet, led him up to a cow in a stall, and made him stand face-to-rump with the cow, the nose only 3cm away. Some neck restraint and digging a little hole to trap his feet in were the final touches to make sure he couldn’t pull away. 12 hours a day for 20 days was his sentence. ____ I only recently got the “irony” / “punchline” of the punishment. “You facilitated the transport of human beings to gas chambers? Here’s a ‘gas’ chamber for you…”

more more moreeeeee

I hope he rats everyone out.

Not before he kills himself then locks himself in a suitcase and throws himself out of a window into a river.
H
“Yeah he fell down an elevator shaft onto some bullets.”
D
“Amazing how he managed to shoot himself five times in the back of the head. Why he did this, we’ll never know.”
S
Probably depressed. He’s looking sad lately.
D
Well, his mother died recently and his brother got a huge promotion at work. Maybe he’s just feeling left behind.
S
Also he lost his best friend to “suicide” awhile ago. And he’s been evicted from his property. Not many in his family want anything to do with him. He’s not invited to the family gatherings as much. He’s unemployed. Lots of people who go through this become depressed.
S
Donald Trump is a child r*pist. I’m not responding to anything in particular, just doing my part.
S
> Donald Trump is a child r*pist. You accidentally typed a * instead of the letter a when you were pointing out that Donald Trump is a child rapist who rapes children because he’s a dangerous pedophile.
S
You know, thank you for pointing that out. You are absolutely correct. I misspelled the word rapist. Donald Trump is in fact a rapist. Thanks again, friend. Fuck ICE and Donald Trump is a child rapist.
F
This! Heaven forbid you offend someone over saying the true words and not fucking sugarcoating the horrific things that these people did!
R
we’ve released video surveillance of his cell, there’s ten minutes missing but that’s normal and no one can do anything about it and also we’ve released it with the missing ten minutes and that doesn’t reveal anything but there’s a visible mouse cursor in some of the footage and we’ve released it without the visible mouse cursor and you can clearly see someone walking toward his cell but who cares actually
B
Mystery men?
S
We’ve got a blind date with destiny… and it looks like she’s ordered the lobster.

“Lance Hunt wears glasses. Captain Amazing *doesn’t* wear glasses.” “He takes them off when he transforms!” “That doesn’t make any sense. He wouldn’t be able to see.”
C
We killed Captin Amazing. What do you mean we? I was over here.
R
Hold on a second, Captain. How many toggle flips in toto are involved in this procedure?

IM THE WAFFLER! GETTIN CRISPY! BAD GUYS ARE HISTORY!

Unlikely. At his core, Andrew is a coward. He is being investigated for giving Epstein inside information while Andrew was working as a trade envoy. Information that Epstein can profit from. That is what Epstein did. He was a knowledge broker that used the information from the high level contacts he cultivated to produce profits for his money management clients. Andrew isn’t being investigated for the rape and human trafficking. Now if the searches turn up information on those illegal activities, then the charges will increase. Then Andrew is at risk of being permanently silenced by those who are at risk of he talks.

I have multiple colleagues who have long retired from the Royal Navy. One who served on the same ship as Andrew in the Falklands War, the other who served under Charles when he was the commander of a minesweeper in Home waters. The difference between the two of them could not be more stark. Andrew was the bellendiest of bellends, and despised by pretty much everyone on ship for being full of himself, and wanting to be treated better than everyone else. Charles, on the other hand, was the consummate professional who looked out for the men serving under him, both sought and accepted their advice, and gave strong credit where it was due. Exactly the kind of person you’d want in charge.
C
My father served in Prince Charles’ protection team when he was a teen, at University and travelling. He and his colleagues, a few of whom I knew as a kid had only positive things to say about him, which wasn’t much as they seemed to have a protective sense beyond their job. He also had several former military coleagues who served in the Falklands, in the Navy, who knew and served with Andrew. They would confirm the same opinion of Andrew personally, and worse than your characterization, except not in terms of his professional conduct as a pilot in action, deserving of his decorations. It’s the one area of his life where he may have behaved admirably on one level, but ironically that plus his position/personality may have contributed to his subsequent sense of invulnerabiility amidst dismal later behavior.
J
Thank you for your fair and honest comment
F
I read a comment in another thread that said English police in three cities with airports are investigating whether Andrew used those airports for trafficking…so I have some hope.
R
If he did, the Royal Family is in big trouble.
S
It would look bad. But Gnarly Charlie will not protect Andrew. He’s shown that already. It would tarnish Lizzy’s legacy further if the police find solid evidence of trafficking. She protected him too much to protect the royal family. Gnarly Charlie won’t do that. Something positive at least.
I
He’s basically already thrown him under the bus. He clearly does not like his brother, and now he can actually do something about it. Andy was mom ‘s fave, and Charles was a sad boy.
R
If Liz’s reputation was tarnished, the legitimacy her son inherited would diminish.
S
I think that is why Gnarly Charlie is tossing Andrew to the police. The public need to see that no one is above the law. But I’m not a British citizen so I know nothing about the current public sentiment over there.
N
Charles hates Andrew. William hates him .

The Royal family is very effective at disowning people.
R
\>Andrew is a coward too cowardly to face prison? that’s the idea behind flipping a co-conspirator
N
He’s sweatin’ now!
A
You honestly think a meme r of the Royal family will be imprisoned…. Lol , cmon get real , sure him getting arrested is a big deal but that’s as far as it gets . There will be some charges and then som plea deal and it will be over… Dude will be vacationing in Switzerland this time next year. The law doesn’t apply to the rich and powerful the same way they do for us.
R
oh i’m confident the result of this has been negotiated in secret well in advance of his arrest. i’m just hoping that someone somewhere included “throwing the other baby rapers under the bus” as part of the negotiation. even if its people who were beneath him in the chain, everyone who gets arrested will be interrogated and will provide evidence that will one day be heavily redacted into the public record.
C
Exactly, the crimes he’s under suspicion of committing are essentially unrelated to all the sex-cult nonce stuff we associate with Epstein. However moving against the crown is a BIG move for UK police, one I suspect they would not make unless they have a pretty solid case…. So there could be a chance that he talks about other crimes in an attempt to save his own ass… and unlike many of the girls/women who were trafficked he is still a part of the royal family and incredibly wealthy it’ll be a lot harder for him to “have an accident” than others who might speak up
A
Yeah just read about this. Of course the police only got involved when money was involved and were fine to let the human trafficking and rape mean he just got moved to a smaller mansion than he was used to. I’ll take it, glad he’s seeing some consequences at all, and I’m going to go with the benefit of the doubt and assume it’s all of it, but this is just the one they can most readily prove in court.
I
It’s one thing to kill Epstein. It’s another thing to kill a royal. If Andrew “commits suicide” under mysterious circumstances, holy cow, just how deep and wide is this sex trafficking scandal? There has to be a top. Who is pulling the strings?
Q
It’s bigger than sex IMHO
M
Also; it’s one thing for the king to throw his brother in prison – that’s practically a cultural tradition. It’s quite another for someone else to murder the king’s brother without the king’s permission – the traditional response to that is to send a few regiments of household troops to discuss the issue with the malefactor.
C
Shot himself in the back of the head with a shotgun, twice. Worst case of suicide we’ve ever seen.
G
Wow… that’s dark, but honestly, it does sound like something out of a crime thriller. Can’t even imagine the chaos if that actually happened.
M
Something similar [did happen to Gareth Williams](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Gareth_Williams). Ruled “probably an accident.”
C
> His naked, decomposing remains were found in the bath of the main bedroom’s en-suite bathroom, inside a red sports bag that was padlocked from the outside, with the keys inside the bag Who among us hasn’t accidentally locked a padlock from inside the bag it’s locking and then died.
D
Unlikely. Epstein was almost definitely killed by the Trump Admin because he had damaging info on him. I don’t see the British government doing that.
K
Its a financial charge. Why would he implicate himself in something else entirely
I
People aren’t reading why he’s been taken in. They’re seeing the headlines and making their own conclusions. He’s been taken in for misconduct in a public office, *why* would he cop to being involved in an international rape gang? This isn’t coming back on anyone else other than Andrew.
T
They’ve also tacked on a reference to the ‘lolita express’, so it looks like they’re confident of the first and optimistic for the second. After all, the feds got Al Capone for tax evasion.
