Non violent crimes

[mikachusetts]

I started this thread a few weeks ago about the same or similar enough issue. The best response in there was this:

The threat of violence results in an unequal transaction (I give you my money for you to withdraw the gun from my back). It was a transaction I never intended to enter nor saw benficial to myself, and I can’t withdraw from the transaction peaceably (I get shot in the back, possibly die). Therefore, the threat of violence results in an involuntary, unequal exchange.
