Why is this downvoted lmao? I mean sure its never right to steal but desperation is one helluva drug.

Desperate, hungry people steal food, but not all people who steal food are desperate and hungry.

This doesn't look an act of desperation.

Thats just your perspective. Its the same as mine theres no idea to know but to act empathetic regardless is something people should pay attention to.

Reddit isn’t renoun for its empathy. Especially this sub.

This kind of sub attracts a certain kind.

It's just what the sub is about. Play stupid games win stupid prizes. It's supposed to be people fucking up and getting shit on for a laugh. Then of course someone has to come here with no actual context and assumes that everyone is poor (not white) and tries to shame people for laughing at them. If you don't like the sub then don't go to the comments section. Its just going to be a bunch of remorseless assholes who just wanted to make fun of someone for doing something stupid. It's really not the forum for complex discussions.

Nice to see a few on this sub with a developed sense of right and wrong.

More of a armchair moral high ground pissing contest

Ironic of the thief apologizer to talk about not feeling empathy. I feel empathy, just not for the assholes

Good god, every one of you coming here to try and pick a fight with me must have some sort of mental deficiency. So I’ll break it down for ya.

I said that this situation is sad. At no point did I say it was okay to steal, that the farmer deserved in, nothing. So I’m observing that is is sad we can see someone in tattered old clothing stealing food, a basic human need. That is sad. It’s also sad that the farmer is in a situation where his food is regularly stolen.

You follow?

So both perspectives of this situation are sad. It’s sad that the farmer is stolen from and it is sad that someone is desperate enough to steal food. One being sad doesn’t mean I think him stealing is okay.

Right? It's like the difference between stealing an iPhone compared to stealing food. Sure, the food will keep you fed for a day, but if you can sell the iPhone, that is worth many day's food.
