The answer to your question requires its own thread that would inevitably end up being deleted.

It does make you wonder if Rs could have their LBJ CRA moment by creating a task force to change smoke detector batteries for free and have them voting for us for the next 50 years.

"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

It's actually pretty wild how long a morbidly obese person can live without any caloric intake assuming adequate hydration and electrolyte/vitamin replacement.

Now it's not the ideal way to lose weight because you lose a lot of bone and muscle mass too, but it would likely take someone with a BMI of 50 2ish years to truly starve to death.

Don't just blame the poor for the waste fraud and abuse of SNAP. Scumbag corporate lobbyists have their hand in the cookie jar too.

Not only would I shoot someone trying to take my property; I'd sleep well knowing that I did.

And I will be there in the jury pool to acquit you in five minutes.

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.


Because they have been on the government teet for years and feel entitled….

There is an easy fix. Instead of handing out money, hand out actual food. Give them green beans, spinach, hamburger meat, etc. Government to develop meal plans, hand out the plan and the food to support a 2,000 calorie per day diet. MAKE THEM COOK FOR THEMSELVES!!

Not going to be as much corruption in trading spinach.

Just send them MREs instead of cash. They will want to get a job just to be able to afford something better.

I have some cousins that were a little hard up (mainly because they are money morons) and they were going to a food bank for a while. They started bringing my mom all of the things they didn't want, which turns out to be most of what they received. They got a frozen whole chicken every week, but they don't each chicken with bones. They would get frozen catfish nuggets periodically, but they don't eat "swimmy" things. Most of the canned vegetables they wouldn't eat, but they took the sweets and snacks that filled up the rest of the bags.

Mom offered to show them how to cook the beans and rice that sometimes were given out but they said that would take to long to cook.

People are lazy and want free stuff, but only the free stuff they choose.

If there is going to be any handouts, this is the way to go. But, the government cheese, rice, beans, powdered milk etc. should be cut 10% per month until it phases out completely. If by then they have not gotten a job or arranged with family for food, they can just starve.

SNAP always gets me chuckling

Supplemental nutrition assistance program yet you can buy things with zero to no nutritional value. They aren't supplementing anything because these fat asses have more than enough

This is the best thing that's come out of this shutdown. Normally nothing ever happens and it all goes back to govt operating as normal. This time, people are starting to wake up to the astronomical waste coming from our government. Everywhere you look just massive waste, fraud, and abuse.

It's something like 45 million people on food stamps or about 1 out every 8 people. There is no way that many people need this. I'll be EXTREMELY generous and say that number should be more like 4.5 million. That's 90% waste. Add on top of that that the average snap recipient spends MORE on groceries than non recipients. The whole thing is just insane and infuriating. I'm so tired of the liars on the left saying people will starve or go hungry. Nobody goes hungry in the United States. There is not one single person in this country that couldn't get food even if they had zero dollars to their name.

There's like a dozen other options anyways. Food banks, charity food drives, local soup kitchens, churches, or just plain panhandling.

All of that said, I'm glad these people are making these moronic videos and threats. It will only manage to wake more people up and piss them off at what we, the taxpayers, are being forced to pay for.

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?


= $1,000,005

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

[You need to stop trolling this board. No other posters said they would be very happy shooting someone stealing their groceries.

Desperate enough to steal food, not desperate enough to get a job to pay for food.

When you see kids dump the free breakfast and lunch uneaten into trash, and then buy the $3.00 chocolate fund raising bar from cheerleaders, you get pretty cynical about who is poor.
Of course liberal response has always been to ban snack machines and cheerleaders can only sale before and after school and not during lunch, thusly screwing fund raising at the school.
Same with snap,those folks have plenty disposalable money. You see those dumbasses buying big gulps and pizza by the slice at 7-11.
Good meal would kill half of them.

So what I am reading is...

If someone is hungry enough to steal your groceries, rather than thinking.. "I wonder why someone is desperate enough to steal groceries", you will....shoot them.

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?

Why do you think HEB is donating 5 million to food banks and 1 million to Meals on Wheels?

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?





I don't think anyone on this thread is worried about defending themselves from hungry ol' granny. It's the violent ghetto wannabe thugs that will be risking a bullet. And when I say ghetto I don't just mean the dindus. That goes for the trailer trash and the no-speakies and anybody else that thinks it is okay to take food off of another family's table by force.

My wife used to be a pharmacist. She would get cursed out and called racial slurs at times when a black medicaid patient's copay went up $1-2...often times these people were in nice SUV's like Lincoln Navigators, or had fancy Louis Vutton bangs/accessories etc.

I was the President of a local Salvation Army unit for about 20 years. I cannot tell you how many Escalades and Mercedes showed up in the parking lot with their owners wanting food or for us to pay for their utilities.


My late FILvoluntered his time at a local food pantry his cgurch ran after he retired. He worked out deals with HEB, Kroger and a few other local grocery stores to donate food.

HEB and Kroger would freeze meat that was at the expiration for sale but still just fine and give it to them to give out.

They had to call him and terminate their donations to the food pantry because the folks that were coming by to get food, you know because they were in dire strsits and all that, were taking the meat back to HEB and Kroger and trying to get a refund for it.

Same folks are also on the food stamp program and have found as many ways to game the system as you can imagine.

I owned rental houses in ETX for years. I always knew the first month who was going to be late on their rent and who wasn't. The ones that were late had newer cars, phones, computers, tvs, game systems, etc. then we did. I had two great renters that went on to own buy their own house. They never had new cars or phones or that crap. It was very eye opening and absolutely hardened my attitude towards poor people and who I donated to.

The people that really need it are easy to find, they are ashamed to be on it and bust ass to get off. Those are the people that deserve help.
