That man has no morals of any sorts which makes me think about what Robert A. Heinlein wrote in Starship Troopers about crime. He was raised with no morales and his ones aren't ours.
That man should think about what he did, stealing from kids who are recovering from a medical condition near incurable.

And then thrown in Shawshank State Penitentiary.bleachigo10 said:

That's still not a legit reason to take something that belongs to someone else. It's a reason that most people would be sympathetic to (as I said in my first post) and there's a rational behind it, but that doesn't make it legit to steal.This_ends_now said:

Where to start? This story is nothing new. Stealing is stealing and stealing from the most miss fortunate is as common as from others. I saw stories about stolen consoles of kids who had them as a last hope of some enjoyment in life. It makes me sick just thinking about it, but this goes over the line. Robbing a hospital, a cancer recovery center, how low do you have to sink? Taking something that brings joy at random could be a coincidence, but from a medical center? I hope for several things. First that when they catch this guy, to throw him in jail. Then someone to casually drop the reason to why he's been jailed, I'm sure he's inmates will appreciate it. Next is for those consoles to be recovered one way or another (buy new ones, arrange for donations if there are no money and so on). Finally for the policemen who arrest the guy, to have children of their own, cause I'm sure they'd like to give that criminal a private lesson in why it is wrong to steal from children.
Still doesn't justify stealing from an ill child. If you seriously need the money for food then rob a store, go into a college and maybe steal some computers*. You don't ever, ever, ever steal from children. I don't care what way you try and justify this, it won't work because there is no justification.This_ends_now said:
Even if he had to feed a family of five (which I seriously doubt, I'm sure a father of five would know how low it is to steal from children) there is no justification. He needed money so bad, there's plenty of other ways to make it.
* I think both of those crimes are horrid things to do but no where close to the crime committed here.
Also there are foodbanks and other community programs if someone's in need of help.CharacterizationFail said:
There was a problem with that sentence, so I fixed it =) (This was clearly meant to be satirical, and I mean no offense.)vansau said:
But seriously, stealing from cancer-recovering children? That's, like, a whole new level of Hitler, right there. I really hope this guy get's what's coming to him. Maybe getting tazed by Santa Claus and having his nuts kicked in by Jesus Christ, while the Grinch holds him steady.
Using that rational you can justify stealing anything, up to the clothes off of the sick children's backs. I refuse to feel any sympathy for someone who claims to be stealing to feed their family unless they are literally stealing food to feed their family, and even that's not going to get much sympathy in this day and age. I'd imagine you wouldn't be so full of forgiveness if someone went into your house and stole every electronic there to "feed his family".This_ends_now said:
Alright gentlemen, arm your selves we are going to battle.
I know Loading Ready Run didn't play Desert Bus for DAYS just to see the children's game consoles get stolen.
May god has pity on this sad, sad man's soul, because he is not getting anything but PAIN much pain from here.

At the cost of making other kids suffer. Kids already in deeper trouble than mere hunger, at that. Games are proven to have excellent palliative results, particularly for children; the resulting reduction in use of pain meds, nausea meds, sedation, and probably other medications I'm forgetting does a lot to help them get better more quickly... or at least with less suffering.This_ends_now said:
Nope, sorry, this thief ain't gettin' my sympathy. I don't care what his story is.
