      Shoplifting isn’t right, but there are deeper issues than shoplifting if someone has to shoplift basic needs.

      Going to work can be a complicated prospect for some members of society. Not everyone has equal opportunity for education and not everyone can find the support for psychological or mental health problems. We should have compassion for those that have a hard time functioning in society and I suspect that someone who is stealing food has been dealt a shitty hand in life and cannot manage to find the resources to manage normal life on their own.

      Just let me ask you this, if you were hungry and had no money, would you consider stealing? Is the moral prohibition of theft stronger than your life?

      If so please justify how you valuate property rights vs right to life, and where the limits are?
