Robbery also includes threat of violence, or actual violence.

It doesn't Have to include threats of violence or acts of violence: It simply usually does.

It does Always include theft of goods, though. This man wasn't stealing things, but rather trying to get his own cash. Despite the violence, this wasn't robbery.

so does assault and battery, but they are both separate and distinct offenses
