Consequences of doing a crime show: you browse through the news or hear of a blood-curdling story of creative dismemberment or violence against a fellow person and you start thinking "Happy! It'd make great fodder for the show."

Exempli gracia, this story of a British fireman killed in a dispute over neighborhood kids playing football. Apparently, the suspect got hideously annoyed over some kids who repeatedly kicked balls against their walls. Amazing how repeated exposure can render you wired for any sort of violence happening around you.
