The guy was not in the LEAST bit interested in actually getting a band-aid. This was a variation of the classic "OW! You're HURTINGGGG MEEEEEE!" move that a manipulative child will play when an adult goes to physically stop some shenanigan or to hold or bring them to an authority. To which the counter move is to ignore whatever they say as you complete the mission.
Quite possibly. It's also possible; given the general level of incompetence displayed by this particular bozo that he simply wasn't functioning coherently enough to recognize that asking someone you're robbing for a band-aid is a non-sequitor; it doesn't sound to me like this guy had all his Lego pieces.
Irrelevant quibble though; the correct response in *any* case is the one Glenn displayed.
I agree with Maugorn. Your home invasion idiot does seem to have been on something as well as probably missing more than a few marbles. FWIW, what he did are serious felonies and can carry considerable jail time. They are also crimes of violence under Maryland law, which can mean enhanced sentences for multiple offenses. I'm glad you managed to keep your head and get the advantage over the creep so that your losses and injuries were minimal.
