I read the rest of the story and can’t figure it out. The assailant took it from the potential buyer but it wasn’t paid for yet. How was it robbery? Did the assailant not pay for it after she took it from the potential buyer?

If the woman from whom it was grabbed hadn’t bought it yet, then from whom was it robbed?

“The Greeley Tribune reported that 22-year-old Amino Idris faces felony robbery charges after she allegedly knocked down another shopper and took a laptop out of her hands during a door-buster sale at the Walmart Supercenter located at 3103 S. 23rd Ave., in Greeley.”

It will never hold up unless the victim had already paid for it. If she hadn’t paid for it it was still the property of Walmart, and the woman didn’t steal it. It would be a civil mater. No9w the knocking down part sounds like a crime.

If I was playing with my brother’s golf clubs and someone took them from me by force, was I not robbed? I don’t think robbery is defined by the ownership of what was taken, but rather by the act of taking something under the lawful control of a person without their permission. If I go shopping and put something in my cart, I’m in lawful possession of that item even if it is technically still owned by the store.

Weren’t those the same two who had to be treated after fighting over catching a bouquet at a wedding awhile back?

According to the paper, Idris took a laptop from a pallet in the store and handed it to a family member during the late-night Thanksgiving sale. As another shopper, 20-year-old Nichole Vanlandingham, also grabbed a laptop and headed toward the checkout to pay for the computer, that’s when Idris reportedly took it from her and knocked her down, the paper said.

I am confused at what happened?

See, right there is the problem: Cheap products. It used to be that a laptop was ruggedly built and could have easily been used as a weapon to beat the other guy into submission. Now, people are getting arrested instead of apply local social actions and resolving their conflicts. *sigh*
