64. I disagree with you. Yes it is tragic that the young man was hungry enough to steal. But in today's
economy there are many more who are just as bad off who can't afford to be stolen from either. How could the young thief have been sure that the family that he stole from wouldn't be going hungry themselves after they got their groceries stolen? Maybe those groceries were bought with the remaining food stamps for the month.

Stealing is never right. Yes hunger isn't right either but the two are not mutually exclusive.
