[QUOTE="Ana the Ist, post: 76296996, member: 302807"] Could be that the last time he did this, he went to jail because he left his victim alive and they were able to contact the police quickly. It could be that he was on drugs and angry that you only had 20$ in your wallet. You're not giving me much to go on. Motive in this context refers to the reason someone did something. It's the perception of "disrespect" from the act and a culture that values life as worth taking over such a trivial thing. In some communities, to let something like that slide makes you "weak" and deserving of being victimized. To use a term the left likes (but avoids applying to certain demographics) you could say it's an extreme form of toxic masculinity that glorifies violence and justifies its use in such situations by proving that you aren't someone to mess with. Again though, you aren't giving me much to go off. I don't want to assume too much...but the left has the goofiest ideas about crime I've ever seen. In some cases, like San Francisco decriminalizing shoplifting....it's pretty hilarious, obviously a mistake, and unfortunately going to continue to cause problems for the same communities they intended to help until they admit they were wrong and don't know what they are doing.

It's hard to understand why the left has suddenly become empathetic to criminals and antagonistic to police. It doesn't seem like a strategy that is going to benefit anyone long term.
