a cumulative effect takes place. by the time the little boy was shot, it was the story around town. Less people will want to be compared to the sniper by being caught commiting a crime, even a non-violent crime.
why do you think that?
...could also be that by the time most everyone
has heard the news, they realize that law enforcement
is keeping a closer eye on everything...
hense making it much more difficult to perform a crime.
