Donate food. Don't turn this into an argument for gun control. Stupid mom. Idiot cops. I'm sure she was running in an antagonistic fashion. Happy Thanksgiving Last Days....drink a whole lot.

This is such an asshole move, and I know it, nut it's happening anyway.

A robbery is the physical taking of a possession from the person of another through violence or the threat of violence. One person has to take something out of another persons hands or off their body.

A burglary is to entering of a dwelling of another, without consent and with the intent to commit a felony within. Basically, theft from a building which is what I assume the art thieves did.

When you say the dude was "commissioning a burglar he met in prison to rob wealthy art owners" I think what you actually meant was:

"commissioning a burglar he met in prison to burglarize the homes of wealthy art owners."

Nit picky, but you'll lose serious points on your criminal law final, which I happen to be avoiding studying for right now.

Yikes. Back to work...

Also, great last days, as always.

WHOA! I even meant to say "burgle" instead of "burglarize". It's important. If you're the principle actor in a burglary and you commission some to help you, you've burglarized them like a deputy deputizes someone.

Burgle is the appropriate verb. I can't believe I did that. Sorry.

Please wait...
