What is wrong with you?

No one has the right to take another person's property.

And in Texas, the use of lethal force to defend one's self is protected by state law.

Of course nobody has the right to take anyone else's property. I didn't say that.

But I would wonder why someone was so desperate to steal groceries in the first place.

You are a leftist.

You don't actually believe in individual property. You believe everything that is entrusted to me by God actually belongs to you.

Don't lie.

Another bleeding heart liberal not understanding why their leadership has thrown all government programs in fraud and wastefulness.

Oh and I donated 3 dead deer to the San Antonio Food Bank today. What have you done OP besides cry ?

I'll make sure I add in the delivery instructions for the person buying and delivering my groceries to be careful coming out of the store.

Meals on wheels is for people who are unable to get to the store. Nobody getting meals on wheels meals was going to be in the parking lot stealing groceries.

So why did HEB donate $5 to the food bank and $1million to Meals on Wheels? Why not just donate $6 million to Meals on Wheels?

Virtue signalling mostly.

Food is expensive. A weekly trip for me to HEB is right at $250 to $300. I will be damned if I'll let some low life steal my groceries and my family goes without.

Theft is a crime and I will do everything I can to prevent it from happening to me or my family.

I'm wondering why normal humans could look at people who are desperate for food and then be very happy shooting them.

I am a leftist. Proudly.

But wondering why someone might be desperate enough to steal food doesn't mean "I don't believe in individual property". That's just silly and ignores the issue at hand.

I'm not talking about someone stealing cars, computers, money, phones.

I'm wondering why normal humans could look at people who are desperate for food and then be very happy shooting them.


They aren't desperate for food. They just don't want to spend their own money on it. And they would rather take it from you. What, you think the folks posting these videos plan on just sneaking a bag from your cart while you aren't looking?

They are posting most likely using a smart phone. Guess they have enough money for that. Some posting have wigs and braids and nice nails. Stop spending money on that stuff and spend it on food. Rice, chicken, and beans can go a long way.

Our elderly are almost 20% of SNAP recipients. AND elderly often cannot leave their house to go to food banks so they rely on help. But what if there is no help?





They can get a family member, a friend, or someone affiliated with their church to help them get to the food bank. You know, like things have always been done for many, many decades.

Food banks feed lots of people who aren't eligible for meals on wheels. Lots of them have made poor life choices, but not all.

Let's think rationally about this- we aren't talking about stealing tvs or phones or whatever. Groceries. Groceries. Food.

Doesn't this make anyone stop and think?

Oh how did poor people ever survive from 65 years ago to infinity? With no free government groceries.
They had chickens, eggs, a garden, and pigs, cows, and shared/ bartered with friends and family.
I've heard the stories long ago about the neighborhood butchering an animal on Sunday afternoon and sharing the meat. Same with the garden and chickens/ eggs/ hand-me down shoes and clothes.

Several of the stories were from men who grew up poor and became multi millionaires. Both of my parents grew up living in town but had a garden, milk cow, chickens, and other livestock in the back yard occasionally. They were never poor but both my Grandfathers worked hard to provide for their family. All the kids graduated from college.

Our democrat enabled welfare state has Ruined the poor.

One side is threatening violence to get groceries from innocent shoppers. Many are going to respond aggressively to that.

And your response is some pearl clutching plea for starving people.

No one is going to starve, and you absolutely know it. No one starves in this country. We're the fattest country on Earth.

How about not threatening violence as the first step? Seems reasonable.

If food security isn't a problem for some people, I wonder why HEB bothered to donate 6 million?



Why dont you ask them? We dont care

STOP LYING.

In fact, for fiscal year 2023 (post if you have more recent data), 19.5% of SNAP recipients are/were 60 or older. I know a LOT of people in their 60s, particularly early 60s, who are not only still working but would give you the dirtiest of looks if you referred to them as "elderly." I'm not far from that age group (I won't be specific as to how long) and absolutely no one would refer to me as "elderly;" now, or I suspect, for another 10 years at least. My sister, pushing 70, isn't what anyone would call elderly just by looking at her or being around her. Yet I know people younger than me -- in some cases many years younger -- that can't get around at all due to injury/illness or whatever.

The definition of elderly is, in a nutshell, "rather old." 60, or even 65, doesn't fit that definition and hasn't for many years. With the continued rising of SS age requirements, even the government basically agrees with me.

You're trying to take one fact (60 and older) and misrepresent what it truly means to attempt to make a political point. That's not misleading -- at least not anymore. That's downright lying.

Seriously. My boss and my boss's boss are both over 60. They plan to retire in the next 3 years due to eligibility- but they are in no way elderly lmao.

Is it okay for people on tight incomes to starve because worthless trash feel they have the right to commit robbery because their EBT isnt funded?

Is it okay to rob someone of the $200 in there pocket even though that was their monthly grocery budget because your EBT isn't funded?

Robbery is NEVER okay and any physical means to defend oneself should be considered reasonable and acceptable.

Keep in mind, the worthless trash that will rob people in a grocery parking lot will be targeting women and the elderly. Is that okay? Should they not be allowed to defend themselves?

Pretty huge difference (as in 100% incomparable) between donating to a charity that helps people who have lost the ability to provide themselves food and someone threatening to violently come steal your food.

What the **** is wrong with you? You disappeared when DJT got elected and stopped paying for your premium membership. Then came back to spout some of the dumbest things I've ever heard.

To the point - anyone so desperate to not get a job and not save money that they would try to steal groceries from me in a parking lot (only after their food stamps are cut off for a day) is likely willing to do much worse to me. That kind of logic is just someone looking for justification to take what isn't theirs. You don't stop that kind of bull**** logic by giving in. You stop it by following the law and making an example of those idiots.

Your kind is disgusting. You want so badly to be able to prove your views correct that you change your story and make up facts. Go back to whatever place you were for almost a decade. Get the **** out of here with your justifications and championing of criminal conduct.

WTF? People still go to the store and shop and carry their own stuff out to the car through the parking lot?

Hahahah….bruh…..curbside pickup is the bees knees.

Ain't gotta talk to anyone.

Ain't gotta load groceries.

Ain't gotta cap a ho for stealing my sheet.


It's win frickin' win.

So are you saying the elderly who can leave their houses will be "stealing" food, or the relatives of elderly who can't leave their house will be stealing food for those elderly?

You can't really steal food from someone in the parking lot anyway. You're going to end up robbing them when they try to stop you.
