Of course, America is not an evolved society.
Dude, it's an armed robbery. If you stop playing devil's advocate for a moment with your, holier-than-though diplomatic civility stance, this one dead robber means, there's 2, 3, 4, 5, etc more innocent fast-food or convenient store employees who will not have a firearm shoved in their face in the coming future.


I know it's a slippery slope argument but despite the letter of the law, society has an unspoken line that when crossed, you're not going to get any sympathy from your fellow citizens; and that robber crossed that line with the use of firearms because you're basically using the threat of death for compliance.


Good attempt at trying to show you're above the rest of us though.
