Comment on Protesters denounce blockage of EU legislation defining rape as sex without consent
charliespider@lemmy.world 1 year agoDoes it? Quietly hand a note to the bank teller that says: “this is a robbery, put $10000 in a bag”, then calmly walk out when they give it to you.
One could argue that there was violence implied, but that doesn’t mean that violence was used.

Yeah the threat of violence makes it robbery (eg if you have a banana in your pocket but say you have a gun), just like terrorism can be either violence or the threat of violence to achieve a political goal. However, a bank heist would not be robbery, just like burglary or pickpocketing is not robbery.
