New meme template just dropped
(lemmy.world)
It's like the old saying, "If you see a child stealing food, no you didn't."
If you see anyone of any age stealing food, no you didn’t.
Nah.
Rich people steal for “fun” sometimes.
And something like baby formula is often stolen to be sold overseas, not because they needed it.
Maybe so. But if there’s any possibility it’s a genuine need, don’t ruin a baby’s chance to get fed.
Uhhh?
These people stripped shelves empty, causing many babies to go hungry because nothing was in stock.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_United_States_infant_formula_shortage
Notice how theft, shoplifting, or resale aren't present anywhere on that page. The media overstates claims of the prevalence of shoplifting all the time. The claims around shoplifting are bullshit
Unless you’re that store’s manager, you should be more upset that people who are hungry aren’t being fed to the point they resort to theft.
Actually, you should be more upset by that either way. I understand not wanting to support theft of food just to eat but something is wrong when you condemn it.
I support theft of food to eat.
I don’t support organised crime denying babies food.
you cannot know which one is which when you see a person shoplifting
if you snitch on them, there are two outcomes:
-
whoever organised the crime of stealing baby formula doesn't get their daily quota from the person they told to do it, and either helps or punishes the person desperate enough to go and do the actual shoplifting for them. You helped a corporation avoid theft
-
a baby goes without food, and an already impoverished parent is financially, legally, or socially punished. You helped a corporation avoid theft
is it worth it to possibly make a mother cry as her baby goes hungry, to try to help a corporation?
I feel like taking a whole shelf of baby food is a bit noticable.
The question is about which is worse: do you what kids to suffer to make sure nobody can enrich themselves. Or do you allow some scumbags through the net but no child goes hungry?
Ideally of course you could have both but that would first require a few guillotined politicians and capitalists.
Couldn't say it better myself.
I like thinking he was avenging some family member(s) who died due to claim denials, or something along those lines. If we find out he's some Qanon weirdo operating on some conspiracy about endrinochrome or whatever, it's really going to dampen the vibes.
I mean they say this is the guy they're looking for...but is it?? I don't recognize him at all. Also he doesn't seem to have that fancy backpack in between pictures. This leads me to believe that these are 2 separate dudes. Clothing colors are also different.
We don't know.
I'm gonna sound like a conspiracy theorist, but what do you think happens if they can't find a perpetrator? They find a scapegoat. They do that often, even with low-profile cases, what makes you think they won't do it for a high-profile case?
I mean there's a million eyes on them, they're either gonna get the right or the whole DA is gonna be in a world of shit.
If it comes out they intentionally framed someone cause they couldn't find the right guy, there's no way this won't come out. Already disregarding the heightened likelyhood on jury nullification and general unwillingness for the public to cooperate.
There's so many news stations in proximity and so many people who'd speak out in a nanosecond, they can't even get to fuck around before they find out.
To the people of New York:
We have a responsibility as citizens to respect our civic duty to justice. You may be selected for a jury to try a suspect for this murder. It may be the one responsible, it may be a scapegoat. In either case, after the judicial proceedings, you will be asked to assent to a verdict. On that day, you will be required to ensure justice is served. On that day, remember just two words: jury nullification.
Lemmy.world amended their TOS to ban people for promoting Jury Nullification.
Just pointing out that had it been an average Joe who got assassinated and we had a clear picture of the killer's face we wouldn't even have heard about it on the news. Now they want everyone to look for him.
To be fair, a c level assassination is news, whereas a murder in a big city is not. It's not about the chicken, but the seasoning and presentation, young chef.

You state this as a norm, to me your perspective of this as an acceptable norm is the problem itself.
My thoughts :
Your post states authoritatively what the norm is. No challenge here, that is the norm. True.
but..
Why is that the accepted norm?
and..
What causes that to be the accepted norm?
so..
So if net worth affects the public services you receive in the form of police assistance, bounties, etc… isn’t that an indicator of a larger problem?
so..
Who benefits from the stated norms?
and..
Should we change those "norms", kinda seems unfair huh?
Yes.
Not perfectly written, but I think you get my jist. I'm so tired of people stating the norms of society as if they are immutable truths and not symptoms of a broken system.
Have a nice day.

And suddenly an entire city has facial blindness.
Oh I like that phrasing even better! I changed the meme. Thank you!
Facial blindness and knowledge of jury nullification, for reasons...
I get the point of this meme but if you look at the photo of the assassin he’s wearing a beige backpack with beige shoulder straps. This just seems like a guy wearing a similar jacket on the wrong day.
