    but let’s not pretend that people aren’t stealing to make some money.

    Perhaps it’s safe to say they’re poor. Poor people often don’t have enough money. Still sounds like a job of desperation.

      Desperation to avoid getting a real, legal job, maybe.

      Perhaps it’s safe to say they’re poor.

      It is not. I’ve seen these scumbags’ subreddit, I’ve seen their Tumblr tags. They’re not poor, they’re just scumbag thieves.

      An actual poor person stealing necessities because they have no other choice does NOT have this ridiculous entitled mindset.

          It’s amazing, isn’t it, that there are people out there who think that poor people enjoy it for the benefits…

            Please, everyone knows the vast majority of you thieves and those cheering them on aren’t even poor, you’re just immoral scumbags who feel entitled to the things you steal. I’ve seen the subreddit, I’ve seen the Tumblr tags. You’re not fooling me, trying to mix yourselves in with those stealing because they have no other way to survive.
