I was watching Dane Cook's performance, Vicious Circle, recently, and he did a segment about a B and E-- a break and enter as a matter of fact. He wanted to do a B and E when he was younger and he gave a monologue about his entire journey through his almost B and E. The entire monologue was absolutely hysterical, but it got me thinking-- what do victims of a robbery feel?
There is always a feeling of perfidy about people out there, after all, they say you can only trust yourself. But then again, when a criminal does want to perform an illegal action, he must feel some kind of scruple because everyone has a conscience, do they not? Usually there is something in their past that provokes them to take part in these actions. A show, Criminal Minds, gets into the head of the criminal and tries to decipher his surreptitious ways. Like CSI, there are crimes being made and crimes attempted to be solved. But unlike CSI, there isn't much forensics, but more psychology, which I think it a great twist on a similar shows like these.
A robbery could disparage a home physically, but a family emotionally as well. They have no trust in the people around them, especially their neighborhood, which could be devastating. Thank God Dane Cook didn't perform his B & E-- although a great story, it could really hurt a family!
