The police chief must be a psychic if he knows who the suspects were behind those masks and what their motivation for the robbery was.
The individuals who robbed the dispensary had access to guns. Where do you even begin to look for guns in a moment of desperation? Do you first steal them from a registered owner? Do you first acquire them through a black market supplier? Phyrthyl, can you enlighten us on where we can get guns when we feel we've become desperate and need to rob a business? And when we're desperate, where do we acquire a car for the get-away? Do we first steal it, which was highly likely in this scenario, or do we use a car we own, which would be a stupid move despite desperate people not being idiots, as you say.
Your theory on the desperation of these criminals is bunk.
Look who is suddenly an expert on desperation. Apparently it's the hardest thing in the world to acquire a gun and a car, and no one could possibly pull it off. What world do you live in? And "my theory on desperation"? Did you miss the part where the chief of police agrees with the theory? You don't think he knows just a tiny bit more about this than you do?
It's going to go down as one of the most poorly thought out comments made by a mayor in a city frought with petty ctime and a serious a issue with a burgeoning street community.
LOL. It's going to go down as another storm in the teacup that is VV. Outside of the manufactured outrage here, everyone realizes that it's a sensible assessment of the situation. More desperate people means more crime. That isn't an excuse for crime, it's a reason, simple as that.
