Armed robbers are the most dangerous of people. I would consider this moderate to mild questions.
Eye witnesses can tell you it was a big gun, pointed right at me. Looking directly at the person holding it is not a good thing to do, look down in the register, put the money in a bag, put it on the counter, wait for loud noise.
A redhead? That is a white male, most likely wearing clothes. Carrying bag?
A redhead and an aspie? I think you stand out in a crowd. Questioned, cooperated, checked and found to have no warrents, in school, normal boring citizen.
Phase two is a cop pointing a gun at you. Armed robbers are dangerous, it has happened to me twice, once it was, "standup". I did, and the guns were put away, they went back to the car, and brought the best drawing of me I have ever seen, a real artist, perfect! The only thing off was I am six inches taller. Anyone who knew me would have said it was me. I said it was me. I wanted a copy.
Second time was in a crowd, at a bus stop, and he was using me, to hide behind, he motioned for me to move to the side, and it was a sudden suprise for the guy hiding behind me, the one with the gun who had just robbed a store. He could give up or die. There were ten people waiting for a bus, a dangerous situation. I was a potential hostage.
It is not easy to hunt criminal humans in a pack of humans. I am in favor of it.
Sometimes it takes ten years, going through millions of files, questioning thousands, to finally find one serial killer. I think it is worth it.
Other times the police who investigate tell the victim, yea, that is Danny, he lives over on Thompson, and show them a picture. They are right, Danny just got out, for the tenth time, and always goes right back to doing the same thing. Danny will refuse to speak till his lawyer is there, often makes bail in hours, and is out doing crime to pay for it within hours. It is what he does.
We have millions of them. Most are doing life on the installment plan. A year, two, five, unless they get nailed big time.
A drug store cowboy hits drug stores, he wants the big bottle of pills, and often does not take the cash. Armed robbers are a dangerous breed, they may start killing, they do not burgle or steal cars. Rapists will pass on thousands in jewelery, cash, they want sex. Some very well to do people have a long string of shop lifting convictions, they do it for the rush. Even getting caught is part of the rush.
Humans are not a sane and rational species.
You should cooperate with your local police, the point is someone did something, and they are trying to do something about it. The trail quickly goes cold, so cooperate, crime is a local problem, you live there. Burglers rob hundreds of homes, armed robbers will most likely kill someone sooner or later, may have in the past. It is a thing about control, and a gun.
You may smoke weed, three steps up the line there is a new group in town, four local long time weed dealers have shown up dead. I think someone should check into this unfair business practice. You are being colonized by an El Salvadore gang, it is the way they do business, and where they do business, people disappear. They have a business plan, just like McDonalds, taking over block by block, running crime, making millions. Thousands of stolen cars are never recovered, they wind up in South America, this is big business.
It is a mess, someone has to deal with it.
