All for what, maybe $40-60 in 1 shirt and 1 belt? 19 hours of police OT, paying for all their toys, this ongoing legal battle. Insanity

- fortran77 7y agoIt was an _armed_ robbery. That's a very serious crime. Not "shoplifting".
- shantly 7y agoIt seems like the gun was present for but not used during (even to threaten) the crime, which doesn't change the fact that he was armed while shoplifting or that he was probably a dangerous dude to be around, but does make it a bit different from a guy waving a gun around in a store while robbing it. I mean, does getting away with one belt and one shirt sound like something someone drew a gun to do? That's some comically bad armed robbery if so.
- fortran77 7y agoIn California, and probably the rest of the Nation, just carrying a gun during a robbery makes it an "armed robbery." (And for good reason, too.)
- dr-detroit 7y agoAny neighborhood with $2million homes behind gated community barriers like Greenwood has cops who will shoot at shoplifters and roust bums (jail them and or drive them to the designated poor people zone).
