Robbery: The action of robbing a person or place
Imagine coming home from a long day and mostly everything that you have owned is gone.
Imagine your practicing your daily exercise outside and someone disturbs you threatening your life if you don’t give up the items that belong to you.
Sadly too many of us have witnessed something like this. It was 8pm when my brother and his friend jay were just coming home from playing basketball. Two men on a motorcycle stopped outside and got off and walked towards both of them. He thought that it was odd that they should be wearing dark glasses at night. but he blew it off. My brother was about to ask the men what they wanted when both of them drew pistols from their pockets. One pointed a pistol at my brother and the other at his friend. He froze and stared at the pistol pointed at him. He could not believe his eyes. These two were robbers wearing dark glasses to hide their identities! The next moment my brother and his friend were forced to lie face down on the floor. They both realized they were being searched for money and other items the robber might have wanted. Then he heard padding of feet, the sound of a motorcycle starting up and suddenly all was quiet. They both looked up. The robbers were gone.
