I think of what I like to call The Barabbas Effect, so named after Jesus Barabbas. The crowd at the crucifixion was given the choice as to whether Pontius Pilate should release Jesus Christ or Jesus Barabbas. They resoundingly chose Barabbas.
The thing is, Barabbas was a motherfucker. Killing, raping, robbing people. I always envision him buoyed by the excitement of the crowd and shocked at narrowly avoiding death kind of snapping back to reality and planning his next moves. Moves that almost immediately I would hope, would involve killing, raping and robbing the people who had set him free.
