Notice in the story that “the robber” is not identified in any way. No name, age, race, etc. I wonder why? Was “the robber” really just trying to obtain some Skittles?

Perhaps it's no longer necessary just like they discontinued reporting that a victim was dead upon his death. I mean, some things are a given ;-)

Could “skittles” be a street name for drugs?
