I'm no lawyer, but use of a weapon during a robbery should come with an additional 10-year penalty.

I was impressed with victim who acted quickly, and even more with the other riders, who seemed to get right in there and do the right thing.

Happy ending, basically.

I wonder if Brown will do any time short of post-arrest jail time.
