Coordinated robberies and unexplained killings -- smells like election year!

Anyone notice how, every time it's an election year, unexplained and/or "random" killings, coordinated robberies, and sometimes, even an increase in kidnappings happen? I noticed this during two past elections (can't quite recall the specific dates though: one of them is probably 2004) and now it's happening again. There's always some "misunderstanding" that lead to someone in power getting killed. If it's not someone in power, the reason stated is always because those people are connected to a syndicate or they were suspected of being a criminal or they were... etc., etc., even though witnesses and family members indicate otherwise. Then coordinated robberies spike up too. Before, I remember that during one election year, several banks were looted several days of each other. During the holiday season, there are also more robberies than normal because, well, it's the holidays and people are often wealthier AND want more money. But it's already January and there are still reports of robberies that happen in less than 10 minutes. Have you ever noticed a spike in these occurrences during election year? I know our country's not the safest place in the world, but it never helps when an election is around the corner. I guess whenever money's needed, it's just so much easier to resort to unlawful means.
