Criminality is the Criminal Nature of what is being proposed…  Threatening people with a gun qualifies for that, I suppose…

I guess we just didn’t see (Except for Mark) just how desperate JJ is…   But what’s with Mark removing his backpack?  Is he preparing to make a move?

By the way… Nice 3-D effect in the center panel, the way the gun barrel breaks the 4th wall… and we see that JJ has had time for a wardrobe change in the midst of all this- he and Mark are no longer Matchy-Matchy…
