So if you walk into a bank

[PCIntern]

And say to the teller, “It would be a wise life-choice to place all the money in your and everyone else’s cash drawer into a bag and hand it to me.”

After the alarm bells go off and the police show up you claim, “I never said I was going to steal the money and furthermore no money was handed to me so not only can you not arrest me, I’m suing you for criminal harassment. Who do you think you are to accuse me of this when it was simply a suggestion made?”

This is what the Thugs are doing.

1. Now it is: There's robbery and then there's *robbery* with air quotes.

Love your post, but you are a bit behind.

That was the old story: "It was only an attempt, not an actual crime."

Now it is "OK, it was a crime, but not a real crime."

Fox anchor: "There's bribery and there's *bribery*" making air quotes or voice shift or something.
