Quote from: zhicagoWell Kott, I think the point that many people here are missing is the fact that I did not intend to steal anything.

I have mentioned that I find it very ironic. Of course what happened to you is a ridiculous insolence in this particular case. Sackless sticking to rules as not making an exception to let you get your id, the 2600$ bail/charge and of course keeping you locked up for so many hours, all of that for unwillingly stealing a product that probably didn't even cost more than 2$... but that has already been said and you should know me well enough to know that I of course share these opinions.
All I wanted to do was adding a new point of discussion to the topic and spread some moral faggotry, sorry for that. :/

In your case it was nothing but bad luck... in other cases it is a crime and should be treated as one. -For instance: That woman who tried to steal closes for her baby. She said she didn't have the money to buy these clothes which seems more or less like a good excuse. On the other hand, looking at the reasons why this lack of money exists often uncovers that it doesn't justify the act at all. Day by day I see unemployed people being interviewed on tv, financed by the state (living off my parents' taxes) who nag about not having enough money to live a decent life while they are smoking one fucking cigarette after the other.
We all spend money on bullshit, I'm sure everyone buys some really redundant things regularly but people must focus on the important things first.
No one is so poor that he can't affort baby clothes, worth 23$ and if I don't have any money for these things left, the rugrat's gotta wear the old rags for the rest of the month or I gotta smoke one or two boxes of cigs less than I usually do. But if I think that neither of these options would satisfy me and think that the only way to solve my problem is to steal what I can't seem to affort, I knowingly commit a crime and accept the risk of being caught and the possible consequences.
Of course I share your opinion that her punishment was even more stupid and even more ridiculous as yours but she should have been aware of the injustices and the inappropriateness happening behind the mask of the oh-so-wonderful system. Noone who has a common sense would deny to admit that stealing small things from a gigant company isn't much of a crime compared to pickpocketing the wallet of single persons who proably have the same of even a worse standart of life than you do but unfortunately our legal punishment system isn't based on common sense so think twice before accepting any risk of violating the law for it almost never is worth it.

QuoteI stopped shoplifting back in march for good.

It used to be an everyday activity for you... something normal, something that doesn't seem to be wrong anymore... Being clean for about a month isn't too much in the case of shoplifting but better than nothing.
Don't slide back, you don't need it.

Yeah, they really don't have anything better to do around here. Ask Salutations. She says this exact statement at least once every time I see her.
