"Having enough money and influence/power to do whatever you want in life has to be an insane feeling, like the only person that can stop you is actually you."

@Im_K1992 questioned the outcome:

"Smashing glass bottles over someone's head & you get a suspended sentence. The rich carry on getting away with things. A normal person is going to jail for 2-3 years there."
