I see that bank robbers don't usually just rob one bank and be done with it. Why is that the case? For something that from the outsiders perspective seems such an impossible task to get away with, why would you or any other bank robber do it multiple times after getting away with it once? Seems to me like the equivalent of betting it all on black, winning a huge jackpot and attempting to bet it all again.

How is that Little Ceasers can sell a pepperoni pizza at $5 but if you add any other ingredient it jumps to $8, $9, or even $10? Are the extra ingredients that expensive? I've never understood how or why you can sell $5 pizza when everywhere else it's upwards to $20

Thank you so much for the reply! You have a very reasonable and humbled answer. I'm actually a psychologist (it almost appears as if you guessed that) and one of my favorite subjects in the field is the criminal mind. The criminal mind really doesn't make much sense from a psychological standpoint of what "healthy" is, but it's also seeming to exist in a way that the average mind does not. They think in ways that aren't average, for better or worse. It's incredibly fascinating, like trying to solve a Rubik's cube or something.

If you care to answer, was there some moment where you realized that banks aren't as impossible to rob as the average person thinks? Or finding out that police aren't particularly good at solving bank robberies? That seems to be a crucial turning point...a sorta "A-haaa!" moment

Speaking of the inertia thing reminds me of the so called phases that serial killers go through. Specifically, that after the crime has happened there is a sense of relief that eventually builds into a desire to do it again. You said that you did this mostly for the adrenaline aspect of it, did you ever have the relief feeling after robbing a bank and then have a point afterwards where you get depressed and start craving the adrenaline rush again? For serial killers, this craving can be so powerful that there is hardly anything that can stop it from happening again.

By the way, I am in no way equating you to a serial killer. It just seems that this rush of adrenaline from a crime is very similar to theirs and that rush has been extensively studied specifically for killers and hardly anyone else beyond addicts.

Ronda Rousey just got smarked. I love it Maggle!
