This picks up 2m+ Google hits. In your [A] link (金をよこせ。『そうすりゃ』ぶっ殺してやるからよ)it gives the meaning as "and", however, I think it may be more in the direction of "or"; as in "give me your money or I'll kill you." In seeking some guidance, it is difficult to realistically search  for "and" on Google.

Perhaps you will consider including this; if you can confirm the meaning one way or the other. In the text which I was reading, it could be either "and" or "or", depending on the meaning the writer wished to convey. That is why it would be useful to have an entry which has been subject to the test of your team. As stated above, for me it conveys the meaning "or" in both the text which I was reading and also in you [A] link.
