People commit theft because the barriers / consequences of theft to obtain an item or less than the barriers/consequences of legitimate purchase

But that is objective which is my point. I feel guilt that my actions can impact other people negatively. Thief's though grow up never giving a shit. If you're around these people long enough you'll see patterns of behavior that clearly show that consequence part of their brain is different. Its like their pleasure center overrides anything of consequence and their whole life is seeking out personal advantageous at the cost of other people.

Like I said, I've known people to have enough money to afford groceries and everything else. But they will steal something like formula. They don't care. Even at a Walmart there's managers and employees that need to answer for why there's such a high theft rate at stores. Its never victimless.

I'm all for providing care. And people aren't born evil but they do become it in very insidious ways. And one way is being someone who never stopped to care that their actions and behaviors would put a burden on others. They live for themselves only. Like the formula. Think about it in the mind of a person whose brain only looks at how they can benefit. Why spend money on your kid when you can use it to get yourself a treat. Just steal the formula and buy yourself that thing you wanted. Thief's are like that. Many are not stealing because they need to. Many are stealing because their barrier/consequence calculation removes the part where you have to think of others.

But end of the day its all the same in society. Corporations suck but so does turning a blind eye to thiefs. It's never cut and dry as 'only steal from corporations' because a decent person doesn't steal and we should all be more concerned with being decent people instead of ignoring behavior like stealing. Its a good feeling to be at arms length and condone these heroic actions like stealing diapers from Walmart and thinking its some poor mother trying to survive in a harsh world. But everyone I ever met like that in life were people who just assholes in everything else. They lie to your face, they cheat on their loved ones, they're drama goblins because they're a mess and they don't care about others, only themselves.

I hate corporations as much as I hate people who steal. Fuck normalizing theiefs with these sympathy appealing memes.

Small business owners can't afford to have their products they purchase be stolen to pay for someone else's bad choices.

Especially since there are a ton of programs to help poorer families get formula and diapers. Fuck this meme. People who steal always act like they have no other choice meanwhile its jeans and jewelry or $20 they see laying around. Fuck I hate thiefs.

Even baby formula. They have the money They just don't want the responsibility of paying for something they won't consume. They'd rather spend anything they have on themselves not on others like their own kid.

They steal shit because people who steal are selfish. I've known too many thief's in my life. They were all the same disaster. It'd rarely be about not affording it. It was always about feeling entitled and selfishly thinking you're owed things

Facts are facts. There was no threat to his life. Only in a violent country can you be not guilty for attempting to murder someone who looked menacing while playing audio on their phone. Those are facts

Nothing with what you said is a threat to anyone's life. Where did it say he's boxed in. Was he physically restrained or had hands on him in anyway?

Chris had a history of going after Jada maliciously. I wasn't just a one off comedic joke.

Doesn't justify the attack but I wonder how many people would be cool with Chris insulting their wife over a decade and know its not just joking but actually trying to put her down over and over again finally ripping on her medical condition in front of all her peers and fans in the industry. That's her job and in front of all her bosses and people who could hire her, here's Chris calling her an ugly actress.

If I lacked empathy, I would agree shooting an unarmed youngish person acting stupid was justified. But I have empathy and expect anybody carrying a firearm be held to higher expectations than just random guessing

I used what's in the article. Playing google translate and looking menancing

Speech is violence I suppose then by your definition since all that was done was playing audio oh and looking menacing

No it isn't relevant. Judgements are wrong like here. You carry and discharge a firearm in public then the threshold should much higher that a guess

Yes I am using my definition. Are you saying speech is violence? This was playing audio next to someone. Nothing physical. You'd have to argue that playing audio is some kind of violence that justifies killing

And I'm telling you sound out of a phone is not am assault. Is speech violence?

Says the person saying playing audio on your phone is a life threatening situation

Says the person saying playing audio on your phone is a life threatening situation

Sure I have.

One time at Halloween this kid jumped out of the bushes and screamed Book! But I shot him and another kid that I thought was with him. Jury found me not guilty so its all good.

How he felt is objective and not as relevant as the facts which are these kids did not actually pose a threat let alone one that was life threatening. A jury in america would think he was not guilty. Because the culture in many place in America does not value life.

Played google translate near his ear and looked "menacing" lol come the fuck on. Not like he was throwing any haymakers or even kicks. Playing audio on your phone and having resting bitch face isn't a justifiable reason to shoot someone in most places for a reason. Its insane to think it would be

and then escalated to shooting that's the problem. Assessed wrong while carrying a firearm. Kid could be dead

I guess that's awful but negligently shooting kids is cool

so you can reload?
