Most people who do small crime like this do so because of the material pressure capitalism puts on them. The actual evil criminals are the few privileged ultra rich people who steal unbelievable amounts from the public despite already having way more than enough, like Trump, Bezos and Musk for example. Those are the real criminals.
When my parents got their car stolen, the robber used it for a joy ride and proceeded to crash it. I don't disagree that there are other places to put blame, but car theft I don't think is as financially motivated as something like stealing food or catalytic converters.
I somehow came across wrong I guess. I in fact do very much condemn non rich people stealing from other non rich people. Instead they should unite and fight the power.
I don't believe Trump is rich. The enormous moron he is, he likely squandered all his inherited wealth. Now he is just lying because he wants to keep the rich man status to impress his cult.
M8 this is grand theft and while i agree in that fuck ultra rich people, this has nothing to do with that, the thief returned the child so that he wouldnt be hunted down for child kidnapping and car stealing is probably the thiefs lifestyle rather than a temporary hustle forced by rampant capitalism.
Stealing a car is grand theft, so not really a small crime.
Seems like people don't get your joke :D I liked it
In my book stealing a car is a small crime. We are not talking about stealing the horse of someone who's life depends on it in the old west but just a piece of Detroit trash. So no matter how a car fetishistic law system sees it, I still consider it a small crime.
Pure ignorance. For some people having their car stolen is EXACTLY what you're describing.
if someone stole my car and it was never found not only would i have to say goodbye to my savings i would also be sad because i love my car
Hate to be that guy, but that's not what happened.
Yeah, i know that. I'll correct it myself too.
The baby was not returned to the family, but was dropped off to a nearby shop demanding the owner to call 911 for it. Then drove off.
This sounds like one of those mini plot lines in "Atlanta"
Lot of these comments are weird.
I'm fortunate enough where if someone stole my car, its not the end of the world. I work from home. I can afford to pay for Uber or public transportation. My life is mildly inconvenienced.
Where my buddy works two minwage jobs. Steal his car, and he's going to struggle a lot. I helped him when his car was in the shop, and he was a mess.
And yet commenters here are going, "Poor car thief what a victim of circumstance." While also totally cool with him fucking over others? Your empathy is fascinating.
The criminals here are the billionaires who created a system where you friend has to work TWO minimum wages job to barely get by. Don't defend a broken system, eat the billionaires!
Yeah the thief is clearly an awful person. The parents are also bad. The only character in this story that deserves empathy is the baby as he will be doubly harmed by having awful parents who just suffered a dire financial set back because of the actions of the thief.
That being said it is easy to commend the thief, even though we shouldn't, because we automatically have that empathy for the baby and disdain for the parents for being so irresponsible.
I heard that this post is bs since the thief didnt whent to the parents, he droped of the baby at a gas station and asked the attendant to call 911 and then whent off his way.
Its most likelly he done this to not be hunted down by police for kidnapping a child.
So the people that are defending him here probably arent aware of this so i say give them a break but at the same time they are probably using this to push their tankie pov propaganda bs so lol hard at them if you have to.
I think people like his chaotic evil personality.
"Twists and turns are my master plan".
Are you quoting My Little Pony?
They were trying to quote MLK but made a typo.
If someone steals my yet to be paid in the next 2 years car, I am going bankrupt for the next 7 years. I plan to sell it once it gets paid, then buy another one. If it gets stolen, I have no perspective and financial conditions in buying a car again just by saving money.
Car dependance is a hell of a drug. The fact that urban design can put people in poverty like that is a wild idea.
That’s what happens when you have the fourth largest land mass in the world and awful public transportation (mostly because of car company lobbying)
Yeah but I'm guessing your buddy never left a baby alone in his car
