Sorry to the victim! sad news.
What honestly is so difficult about earning your way in life and not having to steal someone’s belongings? The sense of entitlement of some people on this island, especially within today’s youth, is sickening to be honest. The rationalization for it I heard from a couple of kids the other day was just sad and laughable at the same time:
“I can’t afford that stuff and if I don’t take it, I’ll never get it.”
Is it also done out of desperation, jealousy, or peer pressure while lacking any sufficient neurons firing in their heads?
