The sudden appearance of smash-and-grab mass lootings has left a lot of people perplexed. After all, who the hell would do that sort of thing? We know that such people are aware that they won't be punished, but that isn't the full story. Most of us wouldn't do that kind of thing no matter what the incentives. We're the kind of people who return an extra dollar to a store clerk because honesty is natural and compassion is our way of life -- we don't want the clerk's drawer to come up short at the end of the day.

And yes indeed, they are out there. Don't imagine there aren't people on social media -- Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, TikTok and others -- who don't openly slaver to be included in these lootfests, all made possible by social media.
