There are some choices that society quite simply forbids you to make, and one of those is deciding to take what isn't yours. What's next? Elderly women's handbags? Will they put grandma in a chokehold too if she doesn't let go? What if she has a heart attack and dies? (Yes, this happens. More often than you'd like to think.)
