'None were shot today by police': Michael Moore takes predictably irrational approach to Ferguson shooting

I mean "strong armed robbery." A sweet white kid steals a bag of candy, it's called "shoplifting." 1 in 11 Americans have shoplifted.

Tweeters sought to help Moore understand better what shoplifting is, or more importantly, what it’s not.

@MMFlint did you see the video? That's not "shoplifting."

@MMFlint but the guy actually used his giant "strong arm" to throw the little shop owner away…that's not "shoplifting"…

@MMFlint I think when he pushed the clerk who confronted him down he crossed the line into "strong arm" territory. Don't ya think?

@MMFlint that was hardly shoplifting. He grabbed the clerk.

@MMFlint He manhandled that clerk.

@MMFlint he shoved the owner or clerk who tried to stop him…that's why its called strong arm

Wouldn’t want to let a minor detail like that get in the way of a good political arguing point.
