Richmond County sheriff’s officers were called Tuesday to fend off crowds hoping to make off with merchandise that had been set outside an Augusta grocery store during an eviction.
Officials estimated 200 to 300 people filled the parking lot at Laney Supermarket, 843 Laney-Walker Blvd., after word spread that the Richmond County Marshal’s Office was enforcing an eviction at the business.
Officials said onlookers became angry when they learned they would not be allowed to take away food and other sundries that were piled outside the grocery as “abandoned property.”
It's not the crowds food, the food is owned by the store and, in some cases, the manufacturer. If you get evicted do you want the police giving your stuff away to some guy walking down the street?

A lot of those items they will probably keep but some are perishable and will go to waste. Nothing wrong with giving those to human beings instead of animals.

I'm sure the perishables will go to soup kitchens and the like. Most grocery stores already donate most day old food to local shelters. In the end it the owners decision what do to with the food they own. I hope it doesn't get wasted, but I support the owners right to make that decision. If he wants to pee on it then burn it that is their call.
