Stealing from the poor when you are rich is capitalism.

Of course its a crime. Someone works 12 hours a day 6 days a week for 40 years to be able live comfortable and you think you have a right to steal from them just because you don't have as much as they do?

YOU have two choices, your victim can call the police and you go to prison after you rob them or your victim can practice their 2nd amendment rights. I am fine with either of those.
