Anyone know Adam West's phone number? Know if he's asleep? we could use his help right about now. I'd suggest Inspector Clouseau as well, might as well get a chuckle out of it too. (Sorry, I know its lame. Its been a long day.)
Of course its human nature to want to be avenged for a wrongdoing, however, most people do not act on such behavior in a civilized society. We have restraint and better judgement. Most people would not actively commit crime when they are wronged.
To say cryptic is at fault, IMHO, is akin to blaming the victim when a crime happens. Just because one feels negatively toward their treatment does not give them the right to commit criminal acts upon anyone else.
