Ryan,
You wouldn't get what it's about if somebody rammed it in your ear!
Taking a purse with one is NOT an illegal act. The old lady did what
the normal person would do. The guy that grabbed it made a CHOICE to
commit an illegal act, and thus risk arrest and jail time. You
continually compare apples to oranges and expect people who are not
hopped up to buy what you say.
If Bill G$ was as unethical as you seem to think, he would spend all
his time in court and have no time to spend any of his money. Biil
made that money by being sharp enough to sense what the consumer wanted
and providing it. Do I agree with Bill G's marketing practices? Nope.
But I am not prepared to back any charge that it's illegal.
