One non-criminal possibility for Rita's experience is that
somebody might have thought the groceries had been forgotten by
somebody who had already left, although since Rita said she was
only gone a minute, that's maybe not all that likely.



considering the small amount of groceries taken and their relative
cost, maybe it was someone who was hungry, poor and unable to feed
his family

Yeah, so that makes it Okey-Dokey, right? You friggin communist
wannabes are pathetic. Get out of the country.



Dan,

Look we all agree there is no excuse for robbery, but you have no
compassion!
Nobody knows whether it was a whim or real need, or even just teenaged
mischief.

I agree, we don't know.

He did say "MAYBE" it was a hungry person.

Yep, and implied that if it *WAS* a hungry person, then it was an
acceptable thing to do. The poor hungry *** was *entitled* to it,
because he was poor and hungry. Right?

Ask at your local food bank to see just how many people are desperate
right now and who need food. Our local food banks are strained worse
than they ever have been.

Are these same hungry folks not able to see the "help wanted" signs all
over the place? Granted, those kinds of jobs (fast food, mostly) are
not the greatest thing, but they do pay money. Newsflash: Money can
be used to buy food!!!

Problem is, many of those folks are not interested in *working* for
their money. They've been conditioned to think the government (and me)
owe them something.

That's wrong.



Dan there are thousands of good people out of work who would take ANY
job right now.

Yeah, I keep hearing that. What I don't get is why these "good people"
aren't taking these jobs that are available...

I don't know where you live, but there are places where
people are really hurting and even fast food jobs have a lot of highly
overqualified applicants for every position.

If that was true, there wouldn't be any "help wanted" signs in the
windows, would there?

Where I live you can see "panhandlers" begging for handouts on some
street corners, often with the window signs right in plain view. How
come these people aren't working?



Overall there are always a few bums in the population.
