There is a saying I ocassionally have to say to myself:

There but for the grace of god, go thee or I

its a reminder that, but for the presence of mind, I too could throw a headfit, and do the wrong thing.

underlying all of the crimes mentioned, is a sense of need that is not being catered for, for two of the parties, there was the need of money.
the last one, is a need for chilling out and realisation we can all forget something, even the king of chalupas.

these can be desperate times, live peacefully.
