He took a pack of cheap cigars and gave the clerk a little shove.

Yeah, I suppose that technically fits the legal description but geez.

It's like calling someone doing 46 mph in a 45 mph zone a speeder.

But I guess you have to pull out all the stops to demonize the dude so that you can justify blowing his brains out with a .40 caliber pistol.

That's strong-arm robbery by the letter of the law, probably even within the spirit of the law. It's a virtual certainty that, had Mike Brown survived his encounter with Wilson, he wound have been so charged. Would you have argued against those charges?
