Any kind of stealing. I don't care if they stole a diamond or the Mona Lisa, that doesn't deserve the death penalty, much less an extrajudicial killing.

But as the other 49 say: thank God for Mississippi. And as the other 190 say: what the fuck is happening over there?

    This world is ripe for an uprising against the ruling class and their bootlickers. The problem is getting everyone to agree on what they want.

    I just have a constant pit in my stomach, knowing every day the constant thoughts in my mind egging me into impulsive action may one day lead me to do something that in the end will just be used as "moral" fodder against neighbors and people I care about.

    But truly, when is enough, enough?

    This world? Have you seen the French like every other year? Hungarians?

    It's mostly americans that just complain online and do nothing. Ice kills people on the street? My boss won't let me protest. The president steals a few billions? That doesn't affect me. A new war doubles the price of gas and sends groceries through the roof? Oh, DC is too far away...

    To your last point, The distance from Paris to Moscow is 1500 miles, while the distance from los angeles to NYC is over 2500 miles.

    For the rest, yeah it's ridiculous, our turnout is not even a 10th of what it should be considering the insanity

    Folks like to pretend Mississippi is the exemption. The bitter truth is that they're just more naked in their cruelty.

    We're seeing Italy and France dissolve into police riots and neoliberal poverty just on the other side of the pond. We saw the same in Baltimore and St. Louis not that long ago.

    The only possible reason to shoot a thief imo is if they perhaps stole firearms or explosives, as one could reason they are stealing them imwkth I tent to cause great harm. But fucking diapers? Hell a car? It's just stuff 🫪 not to mention these stores all have theft insurance anyways!! Or it's been accounted for (see inventory "shrink")
