Not everyone gets what they deserve, for good or bad. There's people who work to achieve something and get little to nothing in return, and then there's people who do very little to earn or deserve something and yet get rewarded more so. There's people out there who do good and work hard, yet get nothing in return while a rapist recently released from prison ends up winning the lottery (I actually read about that one on the news not too long ago.)
There's also some bad people in the world (regardless of how bad) who either get off lightly or who get away completely. So often, the good die young and pricks seem to live forever. And sometimes, people aren't really who they seem to be and heroes aren't actually heroes (and vice versa), even if they're remembered as such.
This isn't always the case, but it often is. And it isn't karma either way, it's just life being it's random self. Either that, or this mysterious force known as karma (let's pretend it exists for a moment) very much has a pick-and-choose mentality on things.
