Robbery

Criminal action This may include robbery, vandalism, fraud and industrial espionage. 

Actual or threatened assault or violence or use of force at the premises (this relates to the legal definition of robbery). 

Larceny and robbery were the most common top arrest charges in the sample. Each of these charges accounted for 14 percent of the arrests. (Arrestees are often charged with multiple offenses, and tend to plead guilty to, or be convicted of, a lesser offense. 

We found that the group of arrestees who were positive for PCP only were most likely to be charged with robbery (22 percent). While assault was the most common charge for D- arrestees, it was the fourth most frequent charge for the PCP-only arrestees, and was even less common in the arrestees detected to be using hard drugs.

This information suggests that the PCP-positive arrestee in Manhattan looks much like other drug-using arrestees. Far from being charged with assaults or bizarre types of offenses, PCP-positive arrestees are most likely to be charged with robbery, larceny, and other drug offenses. 

Wasn t the conquest of one nation by another international robbery If a country, through its leaders, embarked on a program to take from the peoples of neighboring countries their land, their property, or their personal freedoms, why shouldn t the ordinary... 

This analogy to robbery knocked down two important contentions of the defense. Defense counsel had already hinted that the prosecution must show that the Farben directors knew precisely what nation Hitler was getting ready to conquer first, and the exact time when the invasion would come. But if a man joined with a group of gangsters in an undertaking to rob a series of banks, he would still be guilty even if he didn t know which bank would be robbed first or precisely what time the robbery was scheduled to come off. 

Szpilfogel was more than a rare survivor of the Warsaw ghetto. The Farben robbery had been mysteriously intertwined with the Nazi invasion, and his family and his partners had been murdered as a result. In a querulous voice, Dr. Szpilfogel led the way back to the days before the Nazi armies struck. 

While Szpilfogel was on the stand, I had been pondering again just how the Farben robberies could be considered part and parcel of international conquest. 

Now at last the Farben plunderings appeared not separate crimes but a country-to-country chain of robberies. 

A chain of events in which each link was precision-made. Should international society be any more lenient with men who had exploited the economies of whole countries, aiding and abetting the suffering of millions of people, than any local community was toward the robber who held up the owner of the comer store, took his money, and killed him in the course of the robbery It was, I thought, one element of a very persuasive theory. 

In our case, the prime robbery was a national program of aggrandizement at the expense of the peoples of other nations. As for the defendants part, was it necessary to show that they knew with absolute certainty that the weapon would be fired If it was proved that they had participated substantially in preparing the weapon, and that they knew it would be used in the holdup as a threat, was that not enough to prove their guilt as participants in the resulting crimes ... 

There was the rearmament. Then there were the country-to-country robberies, charged as separate crimes. Property is the wherewithal by which, with private or pubhc enterprise, a community sustains the life of its citizens. While we had proved the harm done the individual owners, our main purpose was to emphasize the exploitation of the conquered country s economies and the plunder of their industries. Then the cancerous production necessities of an ever-growing military machine, and the sheer lawlessness bred by the whole program of conquest, reached their pinnacle in enslavement, torture, and murder. 

There was only one plausible explanation. He had taken part, albeit with distaste, in the robberies in Poland. From the spoils of Austria, Czechoslovakia, and Poland, Farben had already formed its own Central Patent Agency. In fact, Farben was on its way to running the whole European patent system anyway. In these calm essays, Von Knieriem could rewrite the Farben depredations in those other countries, while looking to a future where the contracts read like a clear conscience. 

Nor would I be innocent of a murder during a third robbery just because the threat had worked out happily, without anyone s getting killed, the first and second time. The common law had something to say about that He who creates the threat of force, knowing it will be used, is responsible for all the direct consequences.

A postcondition therefore means not that the difference between before and after will always be literally what is stated. Instead, it means that if you take into account concurrent actions, the cumulative effect will be what you d calculate from all the postconditions of the actions. So if you compare the till contents at the beginning and the end of the trading day, you should get a balance equaling the sum of all the sales, bankings, robberies, and so on. 

He still watched that vacant chair but he saw only the day they discovered the loss of that money which had disappeared so mysteriously from the firm s safe. Suspicion rested upon that one true friend of his, the friend to whom he owed all he was, all he had. There was not sufficient evidence to prove that he was the thief, but in the minds of his employers there was no doubt as to his guilt. The supposed delinquent was dismissed and the cloud of suspicion rested upon him wherever he went thereafter. Only two people had known the truth, the man now sitting by the stove in the tenement house kitchen and the friend who had suffered in silence rather than betray him. They had never met again, and not long after the robbery, the man now sitting by the stove had heard of his friend s death the physicians said it was typhoid, but he knew better. Disappointment, anxiety, heartbreak, were the real causes of his friend s early taking off.

I don t think so," answered Gus. "I remember that the Walrus Falls Museum reported a robbery last month." [ finish the story ]... 

While the term incapacitating agent seems to have first appeared in the 20th century, the concept is extremely old. Not only have armies used chemical weapons against both enemy troops and civilians, but criminals have also employed chemical agents to simplify robberies or to buy extra time necessary to carry out complex illegal activities.
