"If my lawyer will get me off, no skin of my arse" and "it ain't stealing of I am just getting my reparations from Whitey by my own means" are themes often tied together in cases where the race card is played to its fullest benefit for a criminal defendant.

That works for the stereotypical case of juvenile deliquents boosting cars to impress their friends, ending up robbing liquor stores type of criminal. Or, recreational drug user becoming a dealer to make enough bread to support his habit or again get the hot car/ lifestyle to impress his friends, etc.

I'm talking about the pathologic. Like the guy who wanted to kill my sister, because he decided he loved her and ... well, you know, crazy. He might have had moments of lucidity, but really he just had a head full of messed up wiring. Long story made short is that after the 2nd attempt on her life, my sister (then 17) decided to disappear by moving far, far away and this guy refixated on a new target (but luckily failed again) and ended up bouncing in and out of criminal psychiatric institutions for 20 years.

When its personal, it makes you think. There are many times when I contemplated that a bullet was the cheapest and best solution, but others when I felt pity for the psychotic frankensteinian monstrosity. Society still has to deal with him.
