When people say that our current political criminals will be prosecuted, history says otherwise. Nazi leaders were found guilty of the murder of thousands, then given three-year suspended sentences. Japan doesn't acknowledge its war crimes.

It's easier to move on then face the grim reality.

With Hollywood so starved for original IP...

Think of it: the Louvre thieves write a tell-all script, plot it all out, and then perform the heist but don't actually take anything. The movie ends with footage from the actual attempt, but no theft. Call themselves white-hat thieves.

Le scandale!
