Yes, graham crackers are worth getting killed over. /s

"This is what I give my kids for snacks, because they have ADHD and bipolar, and I don't give them no real sweet stuff, so it's a blessing for me," Richards said.

I'm at a loss.

[I Buried My Guns]

Like so many others, she instantly pulled over and loaded up

Theft as norm.

How about "Like so many others, she instantly pulled over assited the injured driver".

Oh, how I long for the inevitable coming social upheaval and Civil War that will revert my country to a semblance of decency, with at least a few redeeming qualities.

“Assisted”.

Funny, just the other day, in trying to explain to my mayor just how wrong-headed the government subsidies for alternative energy are, I used the example of a beer truck overturning on the highway and otherwise rational people acting like animals making a grab for property that wasn't theirs. In the same way, elected officials justify allowing wind mills to be cited in improper locations because our tax dollars are scattered all over the political median, and "if our city doesn't grab 'em, someone else will."

[beaversmom]

Were you prophetic or what?

Historically speaking, civil wars don't generally have that effect. But I hope your's turns out to be an outlier.

Where’s a milk truck when you well and truly need one?

[PDMiller]

Yes, and clever too.

That's real Christian of you, ma'am.

The graham cracker-grab came to an abrupt halt at 10 a.m., when county health officials ruled that the snacks had spent too much time in the sun and were no longer safe for consumption.

Probably not ethically relevant, but once this stuff had been spilled on the road, it lost all value to the owners. They wouldn't be allowed to sell it anyway.

So those who grabbed it were in some sense "salvaging" otherwise worthless foodstuffs, not stealing property of significant financial value to the owners.

[Venturer]

In Md. The Health Department wouldnt have let them resell the crackers anyway. So the people may as well have helped themselves.

[IrishPennant]

Where'd you get the graham crackers?

I don't know?

You don't know where all the graham crackers came from?

Obama! They's Obama graham crackers...Obama graham cracker stash

[GSWarrior]

Not sure if this qualifies as theft, exactly.

I am pretty certain that the cracker boxes in question would end up being destroyed after being strewn about the freeway, even the ones that don't appear to be damaged.

I doubt if the trucking company would gather up the undamaged boxes and ship them along to grocery outlets.

[Maverick68]

Didn’t notice that many crackers picking up the crackers...

[Frank_2001]

” they have ADHD and bipolar,”

Are there any kids out there that do NOT have one or both of these conditions?/s

[I Buried My Guns]

Historically speaking, civil wars don't generally have that effect. But I hope your's turns out to be an outlier.

I foresee it as a cleansing event, like a scraping off of a dead layer of skin from the body that is American humanity. A social Lufa, if you will. Except the lufa will be made of hot lead.

[small voice in the wilderness]

LMAO!
