        not a strawman, I’m saying in a corrupt system that leaves people penniless and homeless and then punishes them for daring to fend for themselves, “priors” doesn’t mean shit. it just means the guy was probably forced to do this before because people usually get hungry more than once in a lifetime.

        they gave him piles of money and he only took 100 bucks because he was literally just hungry. that’s not a bad guy, that’s a guy desperately trying to stay barely alive.

          You have a cartoonish understanding of crime and economics. The system doesnt get people to this point, they system just steals from everyone and makes us poorer, it doesnt make you do crime. You can blame how he was raised on this, and I would bet there is a long string of things this guy has done that are bad.

            The guy turned himself in he felt so bad for stealing $100 from a bank. I don’t think that’s a sign of a bad dude raised poorly.

              But the fact he got 15 years for it is a sign that he hasnt led a good life up until then. These stories are all the same, when you look into it a little, the guy has a history of things, or the whole thing is misleading.

            Ah yes the free choice of humbly accepting being robbed and starving to death. Very popular among understanders of crime and economics.

            the fact that you say this stuff and tell me I have a cartoonish understanding of crime is just fabulous. no notes.
