You're not wrong.

You probably are getting a few downvotes from people in places like the US, who are more sympathetic to food theft because we have ridiculously thin social systems here that don't care about peoples' struggles but are first in line to dish out punishment.

If Finland's welfare is that good, you're probably right. Drugs are a cruel master and are never satisfied. :(

Yeah, it's a situation where I feel for them being addicts and all, but with there being housing, access to rehab and all sorts of programs, food aid, ample benefits and so on, it's harder to feel for them stealing to finance buying more drugs.
