Are you going to stop the person and ask that? Because there’s no way you’d know. It’s far better to just let a potential parent get food for their kids
This is where I think Islam in theory has it right. Stealing is wrong unless it is a necessity. If you get caught stealing food the crime is the store owner not giving the hungry person food not the hungry person taking the food they needed.
You know how “If you see someone stealing food, no you didn’t”?
If you’re on a jury where the defendant is accused of killing a Nazi, not guilty. Jury nullification.
I hadn’t heard that first one before, but ok, sure.
Well, now you know. If you see anyone shoplifting food, no you didn’t
I agree with that adage, but, as I live in America, if I see someone stealing anything, no I didn’t because I don’t want to get shot.
What about stealing baby food to resell in China?
I know it’s not your intent but that was a Tucker Carlson response if there ever was one. It’s no wonder you’re getting dragged

I’m not going to ask because I don’t give a shit about a company losing profits.
Maybe I’m slow but what exactly is your point then?
That just because someone is stealing doesn’t mean they’re in desperate need.
Same people who’d steal from a shop will probably turn around and steal from a charity or community organisation.
I still have no idea what your point is.

Yes, and there are people on welfare who are scamming that system too. Doesn’t mean you let other people suffer because of it.
Yeah but you don’t know they aren’t. If someone is stealing food there’s enough of a chance they’re in need it’s not worth having seen it
