"A robbery "is more about power than anything," said Alfonso E. Lenhardt, president of the nonprofit council, known for its McGruff the Crime Dog mascot.
"It's a tragedy, but in this case it sounds like (the suspect) felt he wasn't getting the respect he was due," Lenhardt said. "When a gun is in the hands of a desperate person with low self-esteem, they're going to react that way." "

These people are full of it. Robbery is how these parasites finance themselves.

Robbery is how they finance themselves, but the self-esteem part is VERY true. The lefties don't like this part, but good research has shown that the thing leading to this violence is not LOW self-esteem, but when someone's self-esteem is threatened. In other words, if we prop it up artificially, it is more likely to be threatened, leading violent reactions to try to preserve the false self-image.
