      It’s like the old saying, “If you see a child stealing food, no you didn’t.”

          Nah.

          Rich people steal for “fun” sometimes.

          And something like baby formula is often stolen to be sold overseas, not because they needed it.

            Maybe so. But if there’s any possibility it’s a genuine need, don’t ruin a baby’s chance to get fed.

              Uhhh?

              These people stripped shelves empty, causing many babies to go hungry because nothing was in stock.

                Unless you’re that store’s manager, you should be more upset that people who are hungry aren’t being fed to the point they resort to theft.

                Actually, you should be more upset by that either way. I understand not wanting to support theft of food just to eat but something is wrong when you condemn it.

                  I support theft of food to eat.

                  I don’t support organised crime denying babies food.
