the disappointing truth about a bunch of these famous unsolved crimes is that law enforcement incompetence is integral to why they went unsolved.
(disappointing in the moral sense, not the "lack of titillation" sense)
@Efi "witnesses described a white dude with red hair, so we told investigators to apprehend a black guy"
@Efi "this guy said he wants to kill people and has homemade bombs in his house, so we didn't bother to charge him with anything"
@gravezwave "the policeman shot first, so he probably was right anyway"
@gravezwave "the robbery was performed with a van, so we assaulted the barely legal poor people van settlement 10km away from the bank"
