Of course the suspect would be one of them.
He tried getting a slurpee, but the machine was out of order
People are desperate to eat and pay bills. The pandemic is not over no matter how many maskless free concerts and comedy shows take place in our neighborhood. How about helping poor families the unemployed and mentally ill so they do not have resort to such measures to survive. IMO most of these crimes are a cry for help.
What your point is.
Stop making excuses for violent felons. Before anyone says the suspect was not violent, he pulled a knife on the employee. Whether he used it or not does not matter. Armed robbery is a violent crime.
Nobody owes anybody for them to not burglarize. Making excuses for criminals…smh.
