There's two guys robbing a store. One guy shoots the clerk, while the other guy is shocked and never expected the other guy to shoot the clerk. He thought they would just take the money and leave. What's the difference between those two guys? There are a lot of differences, a lot of things that have lead them to be in the position they're in where one of them ends up being a killer and the other ends up being shocked and scared the robbery was taken that far.
