    Good old-fashioned robbery. Then when charged argue a defense of necessity.

    To make such a defense, you have to show that the harm you sought to avoid exceeds the harmed caused by the crime you admit to performing. Robbing $40 from a random store obviously meets this threshold if the alternative is multiple people dying.

    There are many cases where you can't argue a defense of necessity. For example, if someone threatens to kill your family unless you kill some other person, you can't argue a defense of necessity at your murder trial. You can't sacrifice one life to save another. But if the crime you commit is obviously orders of magnitude less destructive than the alternative? Then yes, simply robbing a store for $40 to prevent multiple deaths could easily be argued as a necessity.

    Hell, even if you're not able to make that defense; it's 40 bucks. What are the odds I'll face anything other than probation for such a minor crime?

    It's the obvious answer, but sometimes the simplest answers are best. If I simply have to make 40 dollars within the next 3 hours, or people die? Yeah I'm just straight-up robbing somewhere.

                  Go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for all of this to blow over.

                  Needless to say I'm not too fond of my family...

                      I would just ask my brother to give me $40. I think he would probably do that to avoid exploding.

                                          That usually a month for me. I don’t respond unless it’s something important.
