Lol. News anchors are amoral criminal scum. Of course they see nothing wrong with theft.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

And when Walgreens shuts the store down they will be called racist.

WE all need Tony Dokoupil’s address so we can all go there and get stuff we “need”.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Stealing is stealing.

Condoning crimes is almost as bad as committing them.

[Red Badger]

What he ‘needs’ is an orange jumpsuit and hand cuffs.................

[toddausauras]

All part of the “make cities unliveable hellholes” agenda. What’s not clear to me is WHY?? This is insane...so I guess I can go steal whatever I want now? No more wasting money at the drugstore?

'You're getting probably something you need'

When these people riot, they smash and steal from shoe stores -- but they don't take work boots. They don't need work boots.

I can’t afford an electric bike.

[Empire_of_Liberty]

Where does this idiot live?

I need a few things.

[Jewbacca]

Next time, take the reporter’s wallet.

There is no moral distinction to be made.

[Southside_Chicago_Republican]

There is a lot of stuff in Walgreens someone might need. Why not just give it away to whomever needs it? The CBS guy makes it sounds as if the thief was broke and had bad breath and rotten teeth because he couldn’t afford a toothbrush. Maybe he wasn’t broke and could have paid for it and but didn’t feel like it. Why not extend that privilege to me, too?

[Rurudyne]

Progressivism breeds entitled scum.

[rlmorel]

Just another brainless Leftist media douchebag.

The two blacks on the set seemed to understand it wasn’t an act of desperation and opined on it.

[escapefromboston]

The guy was just getting some gifts for his Juneteenth celebration

[Lucky2]

Too bad they didn’t break into this idiot’s vehicle and loot it for everything in it. I’m sure there is something in there they’d need...

[Sacajaweau]

IIRC, Walmart locked up their black hair produacts because they were being stolen like they were candy bars.

Then BLM or one of those groups DEMANDED that they be unlocked...and Walmart did as told. Shameful you can't run a store as you see it.

"Dokoupil claimed the man was probably getting something he needed [to sell for drugs] and suggested that nothing should have been done to stop the crime as it was taking place."

What dokoupil forgot to include.

[TnTnTn]

The news anchor should call Walgreens and give his credit card to pay for the needed items…

[IYAS9YAS]

I’ve had idiot liberals tell me it’s only property. I ask them what they’d do if someone came to steal from them. They always get a funny look. The cognitive disconnect is striking.

This is probably the lawless environment that hatched certain customs within islamic law which would result in Al-Sanfrancisco becoming a city of amputees.
