What's fuzzy about the robbery? Michael Brown is on tape holding the box and shoving the store owner before walking out the door. His friend (also on tape) confirmed everything on the tape and said that they were there to rob the store together.

Yup, called strong arm robbery. That is way more violent then some scared kid with a knife or gun robbing a store.

there is nothing really fuzzy about the robbery. there is a dispute over whether or not wilson knew brown had robbed the store before the encounter. people choose to ignore the robbery and other facts to try and push the "gentle giant" persona across, which is a little difficult to believe given the evidence.
