Theft is immoral and should always be stopped. Saying I get to violate your will because it helps my well-being does not justify my immoral actions.

    In America we're innocent until proven guilty. Cops have no legal right to be judge, jury and executioner, especially over FUCKING DIAPERS.

    They're SUPPOSED to let them drive away, write down their license plate and then get a warrant. You've been brainwashed into thinking shooting at alleged thieves is somehow normal. It's not.

    These are not morally equivalent acts.

    No. No you wouldn’t, that’s a lie, you just now said you disagreed with that concept entirely.

    You literally just said the opposite of that. The exact opposite of that. You just now said that stealing is always wrong and should always be stopped.

    You're fucking vile. Go lick boots instead of polluting us with your shit take. Stealing necessities that society CAN AND SHOULD provide to all citizens is in no way immoral when corporations are by far the worst thieves.

    This report assesses the prevalence and magnitude of one form of wage theft—minimum wage violations (workers being paid at an effective hourly rate below the binding minimum wage)—in the 10 most populous U.S. states. We find that, in these states, 2.4 million workers lose $8 billion annually (an average of $3,300 per year for year-round workers) to minimum wage violations—nearly a quarter of their earned wages. This form of wage theft affects 17 percent of low-wage workers, with workers in all demographic categories being cheated out of pay.

    Large corporations are stealing from individuals on a grand scale. The argument is that if they aren't being held accountable then they shouldn't be protected under the laws they evade.

    The commenter above wasn't clear but the popular sentiment was about shoplifting essentials from large companies, not small shops and people's homes.

    It's about solidarity with the poor. We don't have to excuse the immorality but we should see that the companies that exploit us don't deserve our help.

    You're talking about deeper issues here though. What you really mean is that the underlying problem is the government and how they're in bed with big business.

    That doesn't mean it's OK to steal. Robin Hood - you know the story of Robin Hood, ya? Stole from the rich and gave to the poor? But he didn't, not at all. Robin Hood was a friend of King Richard, the richest of all. He took back what the Sherriff stole from the people - which isn't theft. You cannot steal that in which does not belong to you.

    And your claims are grand so they require grand evidence. What is an example of a large business stealing from individuals on a grand scale? Disliking your pay or disliking the cost of goods/services isn't theft, that's consensual adult human interaction. If you don't like the deal, don't consent to it. You can vote with your wallet and labor.
