        Built a booby-trap device to cover porch pirates in glitter. Oh no, such a disgrace.

            Criminals have rights too. One could say, that as by law in every civilized country, committing a crime does not mean random rich fucks can do whatever they please with you and your life.

            And I for one do not particularly find some desperate single mom stealing to give something to her kid in a trailer park being exploited for views to be entertaining or in good taste, even if she is a thief.

            I’m not a thief, and I’m not a criminal, but I have far more in common with her than with out of touch rich fucks like that Mark guy.

              You’re giving package thieves too much credit. It’s straight up unethical to steal from your neighbour. I can defend stealing from a Walmart, but not another member of your community.

              It’s not “desperate single moms” that are stealing these things. These are often fairly organized groups that actually make their money by stealing people’s packages off of their porches and then reselling the items. And a few of them are just assholes looking to ruin somebody else’s day while making themselves a bit richer.

                That may very well be, but the videos speak for themselves - there are no “organised groups” on display, mostly just clearly poor folks and maybe some opportunists.
