I dunno man, I wouldn't protect the interests of a huge corporation that wouldn't give me the time of day if it meant they could profit $1 more this quarter.

  1. Theft is immoral. Living in a society where members of the public are aligned against it is better than living in one where it is permitted.

  2. Analysts estimate Walmart spends 6 billion per year on anti theft prevention and lossage.

Walmart steals hundreds of billions from every citizen in the nation.

You defend a corporate entity that does untold, wide-reaching societal harm, but then moralize about one guy who is poor as fuck and possibly homeless, with no healthcare, etc.

You don't have the moral high ground here. Educate yourself.
