But then as the character William Muney once said, "Deserve's got nothing to do with it."

I remember once reading a survey of prisoners in the US where something like 20% of all convicts opined that 'being dis-respected' was a legitimate reason to kill a rival.

It truly boggles the mind. The only kind of respect that matters comes from the INSIDE.
Some one clearly thought he had done something to deserve it. That's the problem with running in those circles; their threshold for "deserving it" is far lower than our's.

Maybe he did nothing that night; maybe he never did anything at all, ever, to deserve this. Maybe he did, even by our standards. We will probably never know. The fact remains, however, that if some one chooses to roll around in the gutter, he's bound to get a little on him. Like Sonny Barger says, "that's what he gets for hanging out with guys like us".
