What do you think of a person who steals a Salvation Army bucket?
This just actually happened in the state of North Carolina. For those who don't know these buckets are used to collect money from normally outside of stores for those people in need during the Holidays and other times of the year. In my opinion humanity has now reached a new low, which we've not quite seen since World War Two. On a brighter note the store manager donated $100 to the Salvation Army to help help out on this sad loss, so it's not a completely bad day. You should be able to Google this sad story if you are interested in hearing and reading more about it.
It is pathetic for a person to take what is not his. For the person to steal what is meant for charity is means that he has no moral compass and would snatch even food from a dying person. These kind of people have always been around and I do not think it is anything new. Sad incident indeed.
At least they did not use a gun. I do not know if the Salvation bucket is a new low since people have already been holding up banks and even other people. Including senior citizens and places such as nursing homes, hospitals and the likes.
A few years ago in North Little Rock, a SA major and chaplain was murdered by a couple of scumbags. At least they didn't kill his wife, also a SA major.
Did they kill him to take something or just for the heck of it?
Desperation make people do some really crazy, and really awful things....on the other end of this are people who do things because they think it is funny, or just because they can. Either way it is not good.
This feels personal. I think the same thing about him as I thought about the employee who stole my Christmas basket when I was a single mom working in radio and really needed the stuff for my kids Christmas dinner. They are bottom-feeding scumbags, and the world would be better off without them.
Why did they steal from The Salvation Army? Were they that in need or just because? If just because then they are horrible people. But if they are that in need, I see no concern.
From what I saw on the news lburmaster, the police don't know who committed this crime as of yet.
that is bad, a thief. How could someone so cruel to steal the money for the poor?
However we don't have salvation army donation box in malaysia. Only salvation army shop that sells 2nd hand stuffs

What do you think of this Salvation Army story?In another sad Salvation Army news story a sorry person punches a Salvation Army bell ringer in the face for saying happy holidays instead of Merry Christmas. I agree very much with saying Merry Christmas, but punching a bell ringer for not saying it...

What an admirable people the Japanese are. Their quiet, patient demeanor as they wait in blocks long lines to get the few groceries that are available really makes me weep. My heart just goes out to those people. God bless them.http://www.theaustralian.com.au/bundle- …...
