It brought his brother into the picture

for intimidation. Physical dominance/subjugation.

Then it forced on with the theft in the beginning.

The prejudice, that gay slur is something I didn't

expect. They brought this on by themselves by their speculation.

And part of the reason why they engaged into this,

was exactly that they thought I was a pushover.

Who the hell stalks someone to the Walmart in the midst of

this theft, if not without certain expectancy of "getting away"

with it? From way they behaved, I can suspect they thought

I was something they can bully.

And no matter what I said, it persisted in hatred over and over again.

 

So no. All of that it defends itself. That is but excuse.
