Pretty sure it references “The good die young, but assholes live forever”

Often used when some (asshole) does something potentially dangerous or exploitative and survives/walks away unscathed or with little consequences but other (innocent/good) people die as a result of their actions.

Examples: car crash with drunk driver that kills other people but not the driver,extreme price hikes on life saving medicine by a CEO, (or in this image) child abusers that are allowed to continue to exist in society.
