The
guy robbed a broke
guy and took his life and 34 cents from him. The point of it all is the way luck determines everything in life (according to some) and nobody had a lucky day that day, not even the
guy who made 34 cents, despite the false sense of optimism each party involved had when waking up that morning. Unless the penny pinching
guy wanted to make an assassination look like a robbery, not much got accomplished.
