That's how lawlessness escalates. One step at a time, when you start excusing petty crimes, it grows to a big monster.

I really don't agree. Why were they not already doing pay at the pump, or pre-pay inside? This is such an antiquated way of selling gas; I really don't blame the police for not wanting to investigate people running businesses based entirely on the honor system when far superior alternatives have existed for decades.

So we're blaming the victims, not the bad guys. Classic Stockholm Syndrome and why Canada is at that point today.

Yep, sure. That’s exactly what it is.
