It’s difficult to pull up your saggy ghetto pants with only one arm.

The perp had a gun, and used it to threaten the driver.

Won’t be a happy ending for the shoe seller, who is an idiot.

Meeting a stranger on a street to sell Air Jordans? Dumb!

Not armed and going alone? Dumb!

Running down the guy over $100 when not in imminent danger? Dumb!

Should have taken his loss and moved on. Sell on ebay.

“Can he still be charged with armed robbery?”

He doesn’t have a leg to stand on.

More trouble on Craig’s List. I met a seller at city hall once, there is no reason to fool around with possibly dangerous situations.

This reminds me of a Monty Python skit.

“But you have no arms.”

“’Tis but a flesh wound.”

Sure, the guy was a thief, but he does have the right to bare arms.

Technically, the thief stopped being a threat when he exited the vehicle and ran away.
Cops and DAs can get pissy about that.
And shyster lawyers will try to try to exploit that sway the jury with arguments about ‘disproportionate force.’

One-armed robbery. At the Six-nine precinct he's known as the one-armed bandit.

Dunno, sounds to me like he’s been “disarmed”

Jordan is SO yesterday. Probably wouldn’t have been a problem with a pair of Air Sikma’s.

What is it with those people who committ violence over a pair of shoes?

Costly pair of Jordans.

Sharia by accident?

No point in him owning a pair of Air Jordans now - how’s he going to tie them?
