Fair enough. Then the best thing for us to do is part ways here.
I do believe that’s his motivation because I’ve seen it happen a lot back when I was working in shelters and because he could have gotten more than a hundred bucks if he was robbing a bank if his motivation was money.
However, if you don’t think I should be assuming anyone’s motivation that’s a perfectly reasonable stance. It won’t stop me, but I get where you’re coming from and I’m glad we talked it out so I could understand.
I promise you this man did not steal $100 to get 15 years in prison on purpose. I appreciate your polite demeanor but it also feels like you’re playing nice while not considering what I’m saying.
That may be where our disconnect is. I think he did it to get a couple of days to a couple of weeks. I absolutely do not believe he did it to get 15 years.
I promise that it’s not that I’m not considering it, it’s that I still feel like I’m missing something. I’m a pretty oblivious guy and that happens sometimes. I don’t think you’re coming at me with ill intent and I get the feeling that you and I would agree on a whole lot of shit, just not the minutiae here. I don’t want to burn a good discussion bridge with someone that seems like a good actor and considerate person.
You have a good one as well, and I genuinely hope we get to have more discussions.
It’s possible =/= it happened that way. You have no evidence this was a choice. The reasonable assumption is he did not expect 15 years for $100
They covered him not expecting 15 years.
I don’t think anyone expects 15 years over an unarmed robbery of $100 because it’s completely disproportionate.
This is going to sound like I’m being shitty, but I promise this question is genuine because I really feel like I’m missing something.
Is your issue the original language I used when making the assumption about his motive?
It’s not just the language, it’s assuming his motive period.
I don’t think you sound shitty I’m just a little surprised you two are being so presumptuous.

Have a good one man.
