So @NYPD deleted this before I could ask if they arrested the babies as accessories after the fact

49. Maybe you should first find out that thieves couldn't find them,

even if they aren't as obviously available as the local supermarket and dollar stores they are managing to get to?

Before insisting thieves have no honest alternatives, we should know that's true. For those thieves.

It occurs to me that claiming that it's perfectly understandable for people in need to turn to theft is also an enormous insult to all the people who refuse to do that. Also, that endorsing shoplifting as long as you're poor is an extremist view, out on a distant limb from where compassion takes most Democrats -- which is to aid programs and restructuring the flow of wealth to greatly reduce income inequality.

Speaking of limbs, I'm going to go out on one here and assume that no deserving needy people have broken into your home to equalize the wealth because it's closer, and also much easier and safer, than hitting a commercial operation. When you think of it, why haven't they and when does that start?
