Message: [QUOTE="HtownOrange, post: 2075306, member: 622"] Well said, I would add: ...and most poor people don't steal. I think this is why so many on here (myself somewhat included) are taking a harder stance, simply most people don't steal and society forbids it. Most of us would have more sympathy if it was really for food, but boots are not food an these two have all the food they can eat (and more shoved down their throat if they don't bulk up enough!) so the food issue and sympathy are thrown out of the equation. People can point to higher crime stats in the poor areas, but what is ignored is that the majority of people in all areas (for the sake of discussion, I think we can excuse the prisons, jails and Washington, D.C.) are law abiding and that they live within their means and if they want something they earn it (work more, save more, be patient until they can afford it).
