        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.

          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

                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
