When you crush folks into the ground for decades, ensure there's no legal recourse, and bleed them for every dollar until the money runs red. It's hardly a surprising outcome.
Here's the song that's been playing in my head last couple days, for no related reason: https://youtu.be/o9mJ82x_l-E

Not sure if you know the reason for the song, but here is the info behind it... the actual footage was brutal as well.
A Song Inspired by an Infamous Suicide
Patrick found the lyrical inspiration for “Hey Man Nice Shot” from the January 1987 suicide of Pennsylvania State Treasurer R. Budd Dwyer. It occurred on the day Dwyer was to be sentenced for 11 counts of bribery for which he had faced up to 55 years in prison and a $305,000 fine, according to an Associated Press article from the time. No money was said to have exchanged hands. The public official spent 20 minutes on live television proclaiming his innocence, then shot himself to death. The incident shocked family, friends, and political associates, not to mention the viewing audience.

I saw that video when I was in middle school and found out later in my teens that song was about that headshot. It's a good song.

Wasn't that the guy who was later found to be innocent? He tried to fight the charges, got convicted, killed himself, and THEN they figured out he really didn't do it?

I prefer this one for obvious reasons.

Oh damn, I don't think I've heard that one in since I was in middle school.

I have a soft spot for what my friend calls, "divorced dad rock."
-
To me this is, "rock my edgy older sister listened to." Gave me a nice nostalgia hit too.
