PLN 6 Man Holds hostage in Denver apartment

I read "Man Holds Hostage in Denver Apartment" byJoey Bunch and i think that what matters to the suspect is doing whatever he can to evade getting arrested because he is going to extreme measures like taking hostages in an attemt to avoid the police. The suspect allegedly stole a car then crashed the stolen car and went into a apartment building and took a family he does not know hostage. The suspect has arrest warrants for several other carjackings, but he has let all hostages except one go. What matters to this suspect is not getting caught by the cops because he knows that he will get in severe trouble for several carjackings, as well as what thyey will charge him for holding an innocent family hostage. I think his decisions are very stupid because no matter what he does he will get caught by the cops and the longer he waits and commitsmore crimes, the more trouble he will get in. This connects to me because i live in Denver and i am very sypethetic for this innocent family that had a criminal walk into their apartment and hold them hostage, despite the fact that he doesnt know any of them and they have never done anything to him. This also connects to the world because crimes like this happen everyday and the USA actually has a lower crime rate than many less fortunate countries, and it would be very good for the world if these events happen as infrequently as they do in America.
