Huh?
Stop bringing politics into it. It is a despicable act perpetrated by these people - that's all.
I think both republicans and democrats will find this to be despicable.

[oh, well...some former Walmart employees will be needing EBT cards for themselves soon]
The Obama crowd can get very nasty. Just read their posts on here. Just listen to their politicians.

No, it's what they know. Taking advantage of what and who they can.

I'm sorry, help me understand...in what way is it "sad", and how does it illustrate "desperation" on the part of some hag trying to steal $700 worth of food? I don't even have a budget of $700 for food each month. Should I go out and steal, too? Will that make you sad to see my plight of "desperation"? No, what you saw was pure greed, nothing more.

Come on.

if i had an ebt card and heard about this i wouldve been down there with all of them, just like the majority of posters who say this is a despicable act. quit with the holier than thou card.

we all take advantage of situations in our everyday lives to benefit ourselves at the expense of others.

[MOD CUT/off topic]

im tired of people pretending that they are goodie two shoes, who never do anything wrong.

the truth: majority of people will take advantage of a situation to benefit themselves if they believe they can get away with it. that includes the majority of posters on here.
This is the problem we have now in this country.

No one can call out, "SHAME!" to bad behavior because there is some fantasy out there that we should be tolerant of bad behavior and that "EVERYONE" does it.

No.

In what world does someone have $700 on their EBT cards at the middle of the month? They knew damn good and well what they were doing. You think they can actually claim that they didn't....all those empty carts "prove otherwise".
