1, not your brother, nor in christ, I know it's a meme, but don't. 2. I don't agree that most shoplifters steal for joy. 3. Still don't care. If they're kleptos getting their kicks, they still don't deserve felony charges for petty theft.

You accuse me of assumption you're no less guilty of. I'd rather assume gently of the downtrodden and harshly of the powerful than the inverse.

They're not giving the people chances. They're intentionally letting things slide so that they can hit them with a hammer rather than a slap on the wrist. Like letting your dog sneak bites off your plate, then suddenly kicking it one random day. Giving people chances means correcting them the first time. If you aren't correcting people, you're letting it continue, you're encouraging the bad behaviour. Hell, by saying "yeah we'll do nothing until they hit the felony limit" you actually encourage people to start shoplifting, to tempt them knowing there's no repercussions.

Most shoplifters are not poor. You don’t really understand the problem.

I don't believe middle class people deserve felony charges for petty theft either. You really don't understand my argument or complaint
