Also if these point & shoot robberies are done by teenagers they are probably not from families of any means and they probably do not have many business prospects outside of the apparent $100 investment in an AK [[as opposed to the thousands of dollars for a car to get to work, college, etc.).

Or else they just plain don't give a crap. The people they murdered weren't from families of means, in fact they were from the same "'hood", so what's the difference?

It's many factors fueling the 'crab in a barrel' thinking. No one can get out or over to do better as someone is pulling you down, for the envy of what you have -- or just to take your life just because.
