‘Armed’ means they were carrying a weapon. That’s not meaningless. How have we come full circle here?
You’re welcome to disagree with the dictionary, the law, and the rest of the world, but there’s absolutely zero point in us debating your unique, novel, pedantic, and most likely disingenuous position further.

If fists count as a deadly weapon, which makes someone armed, then calling someone armed is misleading and meaningless because 99% of people are armed.
Pointing that out is not disingenuous!
And it's not disingenuous for me to earnestly use the definition of weapon I'm being told to use, right? Nobody seems to like my definition of weapon.
I swear I'm arguing in good faith.
Yeah but I'm worried about the part before any misuse.
> Guess what? Both a fist and a skateboard can be classified as assault with a deadly weapon!
Cool, then saying someone was 'armed' is extremely meaningless.
Which is what I really cared about here. I commented specifically because I didn't like the description of 'armed'.
I don't care about what label is put on a criminal charge. That's why the things you want me to google aren't helpful to me.
