To me, there's a world of difference between the two. At least the armed robber is robbing me to my face. The shady used car dealer pretends to be your friend, lures you in and then fucks you when you're not looking.
I have a great deal more respect for the armed robber, even if very little compared to the man who doesn't feel the need to steal from others to get by.
I may like one a little bit more than the other, but still zero respect from me. If someone wants to be a punk and hurt others, then let them get their respect from other punks. Usually they "eat their own" figuratively speaking. Now if they want to stop being punks, then hats off to them, and they may have my respect. I understand where you are coming from though. Just can't see myself thinking happy thoughts about someone sticking a gun to my face and demand something for it. You may have it right though, and I'm probably more likely to not hand them my wallet and get shot in the face. Hopefully neither of us ever has to find out.
