You know, I just thought of something. Why is it, when people go to rob
a bank, they always walk in and make an announcement “Everybody, this
is a robbery!”. Why do they have to announce it? How bad of a robber
are you, if when you walk in, people don’t know that you are there to
rob the place? When people want to kill people, they don’t shout out
“this is a murder.” Or if somebody is going to commit arson, they don’t
walk up and make an announcement “Listen up everybody, this is an
arson.” Seems to me that one would not want to attract attention to the
illegal activity in which they are performing. Why not just say
“Freeze! Give me all of your money!” I mean, I think people would get
the picture. Instead, they announce the crime in which they are
committing. I just don’t get it.
