Oh, yes. There’s is certainly more to this story. It would be of value to society to know what the details are. And I tend to agree with you. This is most probably a disrespect thing, and not a robbery thing.
Not that the victim deserved it, of course. Heck, he might not have even known that he did something “wrong”. It’s just part of the joy of urban living, I guess.
My first thought was that it was a gang-initiated fun activity. Polar Bear Hunting, but...I cannot tell if the victim was black, white, or hispanic.
Could have just been wilding for the fun of wilding.
I got attacked by four guys one night, and it wasn’t any fun.
