I guess the video just humanizes armed robbery 🙂 Do you have any idea how many places out there give away free food every day? Ramen noodles cost thirteen cents a package. Saying his family is starving is absolutely no excuse. You’re completely saying the ends justify the means. By that mentality it would be perfectly acceptable to kill one person so ten others live. I know the argument of consequentialism is an old one but hell if it turned out so great for the fathers of communism why not use it today. :\ ---

LOL I don’t think that anyone is seriously trying to justify that what he did was the right thing to feed his family. If they are, they are an idiot. The video is still hilarious though. I love how he slowly puts the gun away and grabs his coffee too. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/polite-robber/209037.md?page=2)
