Can also be Last Disrespects, as they don't show proper Due to the Dead by being civil for at least the duration of the service. (IE, attacking a rival mob boss is Nothing Personal, attacking him at his mother's funeral is a blatant insult)

A common example of something that's likely to set up Even Evil Has Standards, too.

^Because people go to a funeral to pay their respects, not to commit violent crime, especially if the killer was responsible for the death of the deceased. That's not only brazen on the killer's part, it's insult on top of injury.

Even the most hardened criminals wouldn't go that far just to spite someone. But in the above scenario, the killer has no such reservations. They killed the first victim, then show up their funeral to commit another murder with no regard for the witnesses present.

^ That's covering the audacity part but there is no refuge. It would require some kind of pressure on the murderer to commit the crime there and then.

^No it doesn't. Refuge in Audacity simply means that the perpetrator doesn't care about any potential consequences of whatever act they're committing. Hence, the audacity is their refuge (i.e. "So insane, that it's impressive.")

Just as Lupin III (Interpol's most wanted thief) once broke into a police station while on-duty officers were present. Then topped that by having sex with Fujiko (who's an international jewel thief) in the police station's file room without getting caught. The cops never knew the guy they were looking for was right there.
