Hey Eli I wasn't offended, just pointing out my stance - no need to apologise.
Of course there is a reason for anybody doing anything from going to the fridge for milk to tapping fingers on a shop counter - finding the reason is not the same as justifying it at all. I'm not making that connection. There's a reason why people commit offences isn't there? And I suppose one's desire is that those offences are not committed again.
