So what is this woman going to do next week to feed her kids?

We are awfully good at enabling. Our local food pantry gives food to people so they can use that money to buy cigarettes and beer. I only know that because I take the food to their car.

I understand what you are saying, AppyPappy. However, we don’t know all the details behind this woman’s actions, do we? She wasn’t stealing eyeshadow or lipstick. She wasn’t stealing liquor or cigarettes. She wasn’t stealing lobster or prime rib. She was stealing a dozen eggs. So much is left out of the article.. was she newly unemployed? Was she a stay at home mom whose husband left her high and dry? The LEO could have made a quick “click” (an arrest); however, he saw more to the story. So much more that he BOUGHT her the eggs and hopefully gave her info so she can get on her feet. Wouldn’t we be the same people who blasted her for allowing her kid’s to starve? IMHO.
