That's the key. He felt he was entitled to commit violent crimes. Why would he think otherwise, if he had always been let off before.
The libs whine about how Virginia built too many prisons and abolished parole for certain criminals. "All that money wasted." They miss the point. In Virginia, we now have too many prisons beds because many criminals figured out that we had enough room to hold them and keep them there as long as appropriate to the crime.

If I have learned one thing from the cop shows on TV it is this: the only thing you should ever say to a cop in that little room with the one-way mirror is "I want a lawyer."
