          Excluding mental disorders. I do not think anybody likes to steal, atleast not initially. They may have normalized it, even to the point where it may become second nature, or a habit. If there is a lot of such peope, society have failed them a long time ago.

      If they’re stealing it to eat, sure.

      If they’re stealing it so they can sell warm coat meat down the local flat roof pub and spend the proceeds on heroin, then… you probably also want to pretend you didn’t see it because you’re not paid enough to be stabbed by a junkie with a used syringe.

    I care less WHY they stole the food. I just find it distasteful when the cops post these “look how bad ass we are” social media posts. Crime, no matter why it was committed, should not be used as someones time to celebrate or the special time before the trial to convince the public that the suspect is guilty via Facebook,etc. Least of all by the group of people who do the arresting.

      It’s because the police view themselves as a “team” that is basically ‘playing’ against the other team…everyone else. To them, this is a win and shows how good they are. It’s quite disturbing how indoctrinated they are and almost nobody realizes it.

    Imagine driving around, probably with a punisher logo somewhere on your uniform or gear, and then posting your big bust of… store brand groceries

    Having to steal food is super tiresome. Would rather not have to, but I’ve never felt bad about doing it. Imagine that. The normalization of the degradation is my issue personally. Putting people on one side of a moral line based on bullshit economic factors that for the one stealing are a kin to the winds of fate.
