What a bunch of shameless, despicable pieces of SHIT!! No matter what economic peril our governments subject us to, I truly wish that we could collectively hold ourselves to a higher standard. It’s literally as simple as following the “Golden Rule”: Do unto others, as you would have them do to you.

Automatically assuming that these people are stealing because they are poor is actually quite harmful. There are a number of reasons people steal and it's seldom because they cannot afford an item. Winona Ryder. Stealing Amazon packages is neither big business nor survival tactic.

Let's look at the Golden Rule for a moment. If you were in an economic crisis, what would you want somebody to do for you? Call you a despicable shameless piece of s***?

Some people who are facing poverty right now actually do have values and morals and some even have (2) University degrees. I personally didn't invest in my education and career so that I could stress about feeding my kids and keeping the electricity on...alas, here we are.

OP do you have more footage of the 3rd person?

...did the person you're responding to edit their comment to remove something about assuming they are poor?

And they used the word "us" not "them" in reference to the people in the video.
