People who make crime a way of life are constantly angry. They do not always show it, but inside they are seething at a world that, from their perspective, does not give them what they are due.
Consider the criminal’s overall mind set. He regards the world as his own personal chess board with people and objects being his pawns. He expects others to operate on his terms. There is no room for Murphy’s Law (that if anything can go wrong, it will). Criminals generally regard anything that does not go their way as a personal blow to their ever precarious self-esteem.
In the course of a day for all of us, something (usually a number of things) does not turn out as we expect or hope. We learn to cope with adversity responsibly, trying not to make a bad situation worse. Adversity provides challenges, sometimes opportunities.
If you expected life to go smoothly from the time you arose until you went to bed, think about how many times during a single day you might encounter frustration and disappointment. Traffic backs up, so you are late to work. Your first appointment does not show up. Your supervisor is in a bad mood. Your son forgot his book bag and calls in a panic. Enroute to a meeting, you see your gasoline gauge nearing “empty”. Dashing to a service station, you encounter a long line at the pump. One could go on and on with the annoyances we encounter almost routinely. Life is full of problems to be solved.
This is not the criminal’s perspective. He perceives routine obstacles and frustrations as personal slights. They challenge his view of himself as a person who is in always in control. He internalizes any threat to his sense of entitlement and thereby remains angry at a world that does not accommodate his unrealistic expectations.
That anger simmers inside, metastasizing like a cancer. Eventually, the criminal gives vent to his rage in one form or another. As one man said, “I don’t get mad. I get even.” The one frustration too much results eventually in a verbal outburst or in an eruption of violent behavior. The offender lashes out at the person who got in his way on the highway (“road rage”), the individual who unknowingly offended him by a look, a gesture, or by uttering a particular word. The least slight turns into a major issue.
The anger is always present. It takes little to unleash it.
