14. That's like claiming the burglar in your home might have just stopped to ask for directions

Or mistook your house for his own ... 20 miles away.

Any excuse to shift the blame and accountability to the real victim from the criminal.

We had one near me last week (Harvey Illinois) where a store owner shot and killed an armed robber. The police found the bad guy on the floor with his ski mask still on and his gun next to him on the floor.

Then they found out he was the guy who had shot 2 cops the week before and just got out of prison in August on early release for an armed robbery sentence. But I'm sure he was about to turn his life around, ... right after he killed the clerk to eliminate the witness.
