For a lot of thieves, it's a choice of eating or not eating. It's a very privileged position to be able to say "theft is a choice" and mean it.

I saw that video of the group of degenerates stealing hundreds of pairs of socks from a discount store, something tells me they weren't planning on eating those socks

Maybe they were too poor to buy both clothes and food. Shit's tight for a lot of people now. Me and my SO both have pretty nice middle class jobs and still have to be really careful with our money. If I was still a pizza cook I wouldn't be able to afford clothes for both me and my kids, for sure.

Unless you know what circumstances are driving someone to crime, you aren't in a position to judge them.
