The Rant -Twisted Logic?

Criminals often achieve notoriety that translates into reward, reflecting a flawed system where infamy becomes a perverse currency. This phenomenon highlights a flaw in our collective values and demands introspection. In an era of rapid information dissemination, fueled by social media and 24-hour news cycles, crime becomes instant fodder for the voracious machine. The narrative often shifts from the victims and devastation wrought to the personality, motive, and "story" of the criminal. This obsession with the "story" is where the problem lies. As consumers of this content, we inadvertently contribute to the normalization and glamorization of criminal behavior. Publishers, filmmakers, and social media platforms profit from this consumption, further incentivizing the creation and dissemination of content that elevates criminals to a level of celebrity. The pursuit of notoriety often eclipses the concept of justice and accountability, leading to a distorted perception of reality and eroded public trust in the justice system. Addressing the issue of criminals reaping rewards from their infamy requires a fundamental shift in societal values, prioritizing justice, accountability, and empathy for victims.
