    I think the issue with the homeless guys it was possible armed robbery and he probably had priors, so its not an insanely long sentence for what he did.

      yeah priors, i bet this wasn’t the first time he was hungry that piece of shit. these fucking poors always going like “I’m hungry, I’m hungry” like open your fridge dude. mine’s always full of food and I’m not robbing banks to eat. easy life.

          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.

                  The fact that you believe this nonsense is a huge sign that you haven’t led a good life.

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

              they system just steals from everyone and makes us poorer, it doesnt make you do crime.

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

      Someone posted the snopes. It calls into question a bunch of assumptions you’re making.

        Calling things into question doesnt mean much. Stories like these 99% of the time are misleading.
