What is going on? does this sort of thing only happen in SL where the offender gets off and someone else takes the rap? this occurs to frequently

Let us hope the authorities will perform a thorough and fair investigation to book the real offender

Judgements given by King Kekille are now taken as precedents in arresting suspects: if the culprit is either a politician or a so-and-so of a politician, then catch the nearest man available and make him pay. How nice, Very nice!
