“This along with other laws makes us all into a nation of felons.”
Bottom line is that people need to live their lives doing the right thing. Stealing property from someone else is wrong. It’s not like the “jerk” here was ten years old; he was a full-blown adult doing the wrong thing and he knew better.
And... the law is the law. If it’s a problem, then you need to run for office and work to have the laws changed to make it OK to steal from others. Easy peasy.
