I’ve never robbed anyone before, but if I did plan on robbing someone, I think I’d choose someone with plenty of money who probably had more than he or she needed (Oprah? Bill Gates?) or maybe someone who had money AND I couldn’t stand (Donald Trump?). Or at least a bank or something—somewhere I could get money for sure.
I sure as heck wouldn’t go robbing Mormon missionaries, for god’s sake. But that was apparently an armed robber’s idea of a brilliant plan in Georgia last week when he decided to rob two Mormon women discussing a baptism. The robber made away with their purses, making him a cell phone, a Book of Mormon, a Bible, and a couple of driver’s licenses richer.
Honestly, I know how annoying it can be to hear preaching and whatnot. I do. I saw some people who seemed a little odd, dressed in gear and preaching while I was in Spain and it creeped me out a bit. But it didn’t make me want to rob them!
And really, if he wanted a Book of Mormon so much, I bet $10 that they would have gladly handed it over, no questions asked, if he’d only asked nicely. What a jerk.
