Justice being served does not always come in as police officers arresting people, or lawyers winning a case. People do stupid things all the time and some of them do not warrant law enforcement but rather some bold person who is willing to take them on for their actions. This could look like a horrible teacher wanting to deport her kids or a parent outing their son out. Well, there are a whole lot more of these justice being served situations below that will have you screaming, “hell yeah - you deserved that”. See which one of them is your favorite.
That's a Win
It is not often you hear of people who are wrongly charged getting justice for their mistaken blame. Luckily for Juan Catalan, he had a great lawyer who just did not give up on proving his innocence. As luck would have it, he was never charged and the case against him was thrown out, but he still had to spend some time in jail while the investigation and trial went on.
His story was so bizarre that Netflix even made a documentary that shows how everything unfolded. Being proven innocent and having a documentary made about your story seems like a win to us.
Only Fair
Have you ever heard the saying that anyone who tries to harm animals deserves to be shot, well, for this officer, the saying came to life. Who in their right mind thinks it is okay to shoot a dog just for barking, especially if you are a cop, it is just what dogs do? It seems only fair that he got his own back by the gun misfiring or ricocheting back at him.
We really hope that that was not the only punishment that he got, as he should no longer be a law enforcement officer if that is how he would behave.
YouTubers
The heading seems misleading, as putting toothpaste in an oreo seems like a funny prank to play on a good friend. But as you read the full story around the situation, this guy definitely deserved to be sentenced for being so cruel. He spent 15 months in prison and had to pay a hefty fine of $22 300, which they actually should have given to the homeless man as compensation.
Some YouTubers take it too far and usually at the expense of others, which is not fair. Unfortunately for them, there are no likes and follows in prison and they should keep that in mind.
Justice
Good things come to those who wait, not that Cariol should have had to wait for her justice, but it is better than nothing. When your co-working stops you from doing something that could put you and someone else in jeopardy, you should probably listen. It is just annoying that it had to take George Floyd’s (an African-American guy who died while a cop was kneeling on his neck) death for something to change.
Luckily Cariol has her pension again, however she does deserve her job back too. But it is best not to fight with the law and how they decide to serve justice.
Cop Dog
Cop dogs are such a necessity and they get to still be cute while catching the bad guys. This little dog’s name is Griffin, now he may look like an innocent and cute pup, but he is actually an all-time hero. He managed to find a guy who had assaulted and tried to kidnap a young lady. Unfortunately, when Griffin caught him, the guy kicked him right in the head.
Griffin was luckily okay and is now being praised for his great work. As for the attacker, he will never have to worry about a dog catching him again while he rots in prison.
Gangsta Grannies
Gangsta grannies should be a thing, you know, those grandmothers who are so hardcore that they fear nothing. These guys should be lucky that that was all she did to them because a raging grandmother could have landed up being a lot worse for them. Thankfully the guys were eventually caught and they are surely the laughing stock of their prison cell, the guys who got beat up by a 77-year-old woman.
The guy who had his head bashed into the wall basically got the rougher version of a thrashing. Because a good old smack always teaches one to not do bad things.
Go Stewart
Jon Stewart became an advocate for the 9/11 responders and helped support the drive to funding for health care for the first responders of the disaster. Stewart must have known that something good was going to happen, and all his hard work and support were going to make a change. It had seemed to have taken senate Mitch McConnell a while to respond to the demand for extended healthcare funding.
This photo is honestly one that could go down in the history books, where Stewart knew that justice would be served for all the brave responders during the 9/11 attack.
Teach
If this is the new way to teach young people about doing better in life, then we see no wrong with this judge's way of “punishing” people. Most of the punishment that young people get does not actually teach them a proper lesson, but Judge Moore is really onto something good here. Justice really is served when you get young kids to do something they really do not want to do but are capable of doing.
We are sure some parents have asked him to give a punishment that includes doing some house chores too, but we doubt he will be told how to teach young people lessons.
Lions
In Africa, there are many safari’s which have anti-poaching units to protect rhinos, the teams are literally like SWAT teams, but just for rhino protection. But, nature seemed to have taken its own course here and the lions took matters into their own paws. It seems as though poachers being eaten by wild animals will soon become part of the circle of life, and no one is complaining about it.
The poacher has their justice served to them as an easy meal for the wild lions. When running into an area with wild animals, they should have known something like this could happen.
The Legal System
When the legal system has the power to blame innocent people, it has to come back to them at some point. For these cops and judges who were in the wrong though, they had it handed to them by the same guy they put away for their wrongdoing. It is disappointing that Isaac had to spend some time in prison, but at least it paved a path for him to become an attorney.
Not only did he manage to help others like him, but because he was so smart, he could help himself as well in a way no one would have expected.
Mexicans
Mexicans are such rebels, they really do not mess around. We think that this was such a brilliant way for the Mexicans to fight back against the power the U.S. thought they had, by proudly wearing their sombreros and fighting for the fugitive slaves. It only seemed fair that the Mexicans were right though, once they were on their ground, they should not be touched. Their land, their rules.
It seems as though the Mexicans turned their justice into a “take that United States” and for a good case too. Thanks to them serving justice on behalf of slaves, many of them were free.
Karen
There is always a new video or meme that includes an overreacting “Karen” who is creating a scene over something completely irrelevant and ridiculous. It is only by the time that this “Caren” Act has come into place so that screeching Karens can be called out on their fake emergencies, and actually be charged on it. Although a bit cheeky of San Francisco, the acronym for the Act works perfectly.
“Karens” are always going to “Karen” but justice needs to be served when these women call the cops because African American people are standing by their own cars or busy in their own gardens.
Life Choice
In Morocco, if you mess with the public transport system, you will be punished and justice will be served properly. And that is exactly what happened to this young guy. He decided that it would be a good idea for him to sit in the middle of the tramway to get some likes on social media. Luckily for him, he was not run over, but his stupid life choice got him 3 years in prison.
It may seem a bit harsh, but doing something like that could get him and others seriously hurt. And that would not lead to many likes on his social media too.
Cold as Ice
It is no surprise when politicians try and cheat the system by doing things that are illegal, which they usually think they can get away with. What is a surprise though is that a politician’s son would be the one to tell on them. Mark Harris had got himself involved in some absentee vote fraud, which his son had figured out when he noticed absentee votes were coming in batches.
Harris should be proud he raised an honest son, but it is not ideal when that same honest son testifies against you in court. We’re sure anyone would be crying if that happened to them.
No Exceptions
Unfortunately, laws are laws and they should be obeyed by everyone, including the cops. When breaking so many parking rules, that ticket would surely be a hefty one because regardless of whether you are a cop or the mayor, parking that way is a serious safety risk for those around them. So the officer who gave the ticket did have more than enough reason to do it, including having the guts to do it too.
Hopefully, this ticket won’t be written off though. Even if it is like we have seen before, justice can happen in the form of karma and we’d only hope that it would be fair game.
DumBster
When entitled people do things that test people’s patience, the best thing to do is just make the most of the situation which makes you feel better inside. Just like this road sweeper did here. This driver had parked illegally, so the road sweeper took matters into their own hands and blocked them in with dustbins. It was like a smelly trap that would take the driver a while to get through.
It would certainly teach anyone a lesson to not park illegally again, especially after having to deal with the stench that one would have to deal with to get to their precious vehicle.
Reality
We are just as shocked as this dad looks that he is so shocked about his sentence. These terrible parents did not take their sick child to the hospital because it was against their beliefs. Not only did they realize in a terrible way that their God would not make their child better, but they also got a life prison sentence along with it. Justice was served here with a big dollop of reality.
We do not and probably will not ever understand why these parents didn’t believe a medical professional could help their child. Let’s hope their mistake will be a lesson for others.
Subtle Hint
Voicing opinions online will be an open door to getting some backlash because there will always be people who have a different opinion from yours. But when companies get involved and produce the best responses, just like Yorkshire Tea and PG tips did here, opinions get knocked down real quick. These two companies showed how their support was bigger than their tea sales and that these two people were not welcome to enjoy their products.
The Black Lives Matter movement made a lot of racists upset, but with companies like these standing up for it, justice was served as a subtle hint that their opinion just doesn’t matter.
Epidemic of Stupidity
If it isn’t bad enough that we are living through a pandemic, we need to deal with the epidemic of stupidity too. This girl who they couldn’t name because she is 17 years old, thought it would be funny to like the top of ice cream in a tub, close it and put it back on the shelf, and then still encourage other people to do it too joking about starting an epidemic.
Her fun joke will now cost her two twenty-year prison terms and up to $10 000 in fine. All just for a joke and some social media fame which she can’t enjoy while behind bars.
Chipotle
This should be the poster story for the title “Justice Served” because there is no better justice than one which comes in an $8 million win. Chipotle should be ashamed of themselves for trying to frame this woman purely because she had a medical condition for which she was probably entitled to claim compensation. If they had just gone with the workman’s compensation option, they would probably be $8 million richer.
Luckily this manager now has enough money to treat her carpal tunnel syndrome and have some leftover for a whole lot more. She probably also won’t need to work again either.
Taxes
Tax havens provide people, mostly the very wealthy with little to no tax liabilities when depositing money in their countries. It is the perfect grounds for illegal tax doings too. So when Denmark and Poland announced they would not bail companies out who they knew had possible tax havens offshore, it only seemed fair. Most, if not all countries should do that as those companies have safety nets to fall onto which others don’t.
It may not seem like justice is served, but for those companies who don’t dabble in illegal offshore companies, it is justice for them. Playing by the rules pays off when things don't get messy.
Careless
This girl’s careless attitude lead her to not only be able to use Uber again but also Lyft, even though she had nothing to do with them. But if you think that her only justice was being banned from making use of Lyft’s services, think again. The whole ordeal lead to her being charged with attempted robbery (she took the driver’s phone away from him), assault, battery, and a Covid related violation.
She got seriously served for her actions and no one is mad about it. But with an attitude like that, the justice served probably would not even teach her a lesson.
Measles
Oooh, burn! This ridiculous-looking fake measles-covered woman just got served! The person who wrote the comment is obviously an extremely angry and frustrated doctor like we are sure many of them are after the stupidity we have seen during the pandemic. By the sounds of it, measles is not the least scary thing she could have dressed up as either because by the sounds of it, it is extremely scary.
We should be lucky for people like this who commented, because, without them, people get away with doing insensitive things and it doesn’t always take the law to serve justice.
Family Ties
We have seen someone’s son serve justice on their dad, and now we get to see how this awesome guy served his own justice on his racist son. It must be really disappointing for this dad to have to publicly stand against his son’s outing that he is a racist because as a parent he does not support it at all, so where did he learn to be this way?
It just is a whole lot harsher when punishment comes from a parent because they can cut you out completely and hit you right in the feels. This dad just didn’t give a damn.
Stupid Things
When people do stupid things, it becomes more enjoyable for those around them when they get instant karma. Like when people hit someone and trip while running away or when you do not pay your taxi driver, runoff and leave your phone in the car. This taxi driver handled the situation in the best way by just outing him to everyone on his Facebook about who this guy really is.
It may not be justice but it is definitely sweet revenge which will hopefully teach the guy and anyone else who wants to try this to just pay their taxi driver.
Thrill
It is usually men who can not resist the sweet thrill of mudding on open fields which they come across randomly. But, if it is not a properly planned mudding field, then this is what could happen. The owner of this farm which people kept on mudding on built up a dirt barrier and it became the perfect trap for someone who wanted to go mudding where they should be mudding.
Caught in the act! The irony is that this illegal mudding driver probably had to ask the farmer for help to get out of that situation, and as punishment, we hope he didn’t help.
Mugshots
What could have been a clever business idea if used for a better cause, got these men in the same place as the people they used for the extortion business. Now their mugshots are out in the open and we bet there is no option to pay to get them down, which seems like enough justice. They got what they were giving, just without the money-making scheme along with it.
We love to see the great irony of these silly situations that people get themselves into. It just seems like karma and serving justice go hand in hand quite well.
Ignorant
A really ignorant homeowner was dumping his trash illegally on someone else’s land. But like an ignorant person, they did not think to dispose of their post another way, so the owner of the land knew exactly where he lived. This then gave the landowner the exact house needed to return all the trash too, which is what he did. And what better way to get justice for his wrongdoings.
Now he too can experience what it feels like to have piles of trash dumped on his property when no one asked for it. It is better than reporting it.
Self-Defense
There are very few things that are as fierce as a woman who has done self-defense classes, and this story can prove that. Little did this attacker know he was messing with the wrong woman that day and she got her justice right there and then. And not only that, she managed to contain a sex offender who was charged for his actions. So her self-defense paid off more than she bargained for.
Her terrible experience led her to help others too, which was a great way for her to take this horrible situation and turn it into something good which helps others too.
The Line
This old woman has made it! There is nothing worse than having to wait in a long drive-through queue, especially when you are hungry. Or like the driver seemed, hangry. But what a lesson she learned; that impatience lands you back at the end of the line with your stomach still growling and your soul left feeling ashamed. This story really can be something that people use to get back at impatient people though.
The driver was lucky that this old woman didn’t sit in the car in front of her and eat her meal too. We guess having to start the queue all over was enough punishment.
Backfired
What kind of horrible person would want their student to be deported? Especially when they are getting life education from them. For the kids who she wanted to be deported, all we can say is that they are better off without her as her small-mindedness would not be leading them down the right path. But, as it goes, justice didn’t happen the way she thought and it backfired on her.
The school was also right to fire this teacher, so she could get the feeling of what it is like to be sent away from a place she is at.
Stuart
Well, Stuart, sorry to say but you really did deserve that! Whoever this guy thinks he is, obviously has his head up in the wrong places by thinking his opinion is more important than Dolly Parton’s empowerment. A few people have got a great deal of justice from fighting against Black Lives Matter and they really do deserve it, especially when it happens in a way that ruins their career.
Not many people knew who he was when he was showing off his “talent” and now people know who really is but for all the wrong reasons and that’s why you don’t badmouth Dolly Parton.
Masks
This is just part of the neverending story of people not wearing their masks. Part of the rules during the pandemic is to wear a mask in public and we just don’t understand what people don’t get about that. But when those anti-maskers get their holidays ruined because of it, no one is upset about it but them. The people on the plane didn’t help her situation by cheering when she went off though.
Justice looks like many different things and for her, it was painted in cheering from the ones who follow the rules and losing her flight to wherever she was off to.
Depp
The situation between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp is a peculiar one as we usually see assault happening against females and not males. Heard having the audacity to try and find dirt on Depp just got her into more trouble because the only dirt she would probably find on Depp was a messy bottle of rum hidden under The Flying Dutchman and maybe some sand in his ocean washed dreadlocks.
Since this, Depp has been winning a lot through the case and it is unlikely that Heard will get away with her abuse. And then there will just be more crying photos of her.
Humor
People who say that police do not have a sense of humor are completely wrong. It would be way more embarrassing getting a coloring-in picture from the cops because you cannot park straight, than getting a ticket. And that’s why we love that justice can be served in ways like this. They probably have an art wall of all a bunch of these pictures where grown-up people have had to color them in.
Not many people like the idea of people abusing paraplegic parking spaces and the best way to get people to learn are to put them in a completely humiliating way, just like this.
