Which crime case will be remembered in 100 years time?

[Lilibet]

How about the systematic destruction (murder?) of the free and fair democratic (small d) system of government in the United States by a wannabe dictator? Indiscriminate arrests and deportations, criminal charges against political enemies, intimidation of the press, secret masked “police,” armed national guard patrolling cities, concentration camps in progress, etc.

This is the crime of the century IMO.

Trump promised to be a dictator on day one. We’re now past day 200

Donald Trump’s second term has seen a sustained assault on democratic institutions – political, judicial, media, cultural, academic – that appears to be only accelerating

These are the challenges that new times impose on us. And the people have chosen them.

Adam Walsh. In no small part because of the efforts of his incredible parents, for decades after. I said that name and you know the story, right?

911

 

[steeltowngirl]

JFK assassination

 

[ar1el1nas]

The missing persons case of Sheryl Ann Tillinghast. Not because it's particularly known, or shocking, or graphic, but because I will not let anybody forget her. We lost her that day in September 1973, but I will make sure we do not lose her memory. She would have been 69 years old if she were still with us.

Would the shooting death of John Lennon count?

Would the shooting death of John Lennon count?

Sort of. BTW Mark Chapman was denied parole for a 14th time. Next try April 2027. Doubt he'll ever get out and certainly not whilst Yoko's alive. She writers personally to the parole board every time.

 

[Alpha01]

Uvalde School Shooting and the pathetic Police response. The Border Patrol did the local and state police jobs. Also the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

[Muddy K]

OJ, Manson Family, Sandy Hook, JFK, 9/11, and in no particular order, but for their "bigness," the shock they caused, the "life will never be the same" feel of some of them.

It's a good question, one maybe impossible to answer objectively.
