We don't want to offend these criminals so they know they are going to get a slap on the wrist if anything. Stealing has become rationalized as being OK if you need it and you think someone else really doesn't need it-its the politically correct thing to do, to avoid offending anyone by speaking the truth and acting in a courageous and respectful manner to support your beliefs and convictions.
