"Happy" ending??
That corrupt principle had a FAMILY. A WIFE AND CHILDREN, as evil as he may have been I am sure he loved them and was in part committing his crimes to get rich so he could give them a nice life and I am sure they loved him too and had no idea what he was involved in.
What happens to THEM?
1. Suddenly they find out their father and husband, the man who took care of them that they loved and were proud of, who was a PILLAR OF THE COMMUNITY was a fraud, a drug dealer, a MURDERER and now dead. They likely would not even be entitled to life insurance money, and his assets would be seized since he was a major criminal. The family would face stigma as unfair as that is and would not even have the closure of a real funeral, no sympathy for that family.
That family (which included small children) is RUINED, but nobody cares about them. Happy ending my ass.
2. Death was too good for that corrupt hypocrite. I wanted him CAPTURED and having to face life in prison with no chance of parole or the death penalty since he murdered that other teacher. Having to face his family and his community and the legal system after his facade as an honorable and respectable family man and pillar of the community would be a far better fate for him than a quick death.
