Is simple robbery a misdemeanor or felony?

"Any armed robbery is a felony." by a previous contributor.....Added note:Strong arm robbery is a violent threat or use of physical violence to purport a robbery without use of a weapon or object.For that reason, it may or may not be considered a felony charge dependent on circumstantial or eye witness testimony. or evidence. The "threat" of a strong arm robbery in most cases is not considered a felony. It is lesser and considered intimidation in some points, harassment in others, or if a verbal threat is made of bodily harm with a weapon, and said weapon is within the immediate access, it is considered terroristic threat in some states.So that advice is partially or mostly incorrect , as "strong arm robbery" is not ARMED robbery.
