Worth pointing out they didn't just rob the store, but they assaulted the store employee who tried to stop them[1]:
> Gibson followed the student from the store, where they began struggling across the street, which is campus property. Police said they arrived to find Gibson on his back, with Aladin, joined by two friends, punching and kicking him. All three undergraduates were charged — Aladin with robbery and his friends with assault.
>Students mobilized, encouraging a boycott of the establishment, which is owned by Gibson’s father, David R. Gibson, and his grandfather, also named Allyn.

- jessaustin 4y agoI was going to observe that throwing down in the street with multiple petty thieves seems like a mistake in general, but at your link we discover Gibson was actually assaulted in the store when he tried to take a picture of somebody in a coat with wine bottles sticking out. Avoiding this kind of terribly escalating situation will require careful consideration.
