Criminals have suffered the worst loss there is: Before they can lose fundamental respect for others, they lose it for themselves. Babies have this respect for others hard wired in. Something happens to them as babies. When they should be learning to get along with others, their parents fail to teach them honesty and respect by word and example. This is the worst robbery.

Dean, don’t be so naive.
An armed robbery in progress doesn't qualify as a provocation???
