i've read you comment, and it looks to me like this is a fair rephrasing. can you offer better alternatives where i mischaracterize your position?

* you are allowed to drive under the influence of alcohol and endager other people's lives * you are allowed to kill another as long as they weren't 100% obviously harmless * stealing food is worse than threatening or terminating others' lives

I'm sorry.

Steeling food for a small amount when you are out of means and you are starving is not a crime.

It seems as this is the law here in Sweden. The factors in play are that you could reasonably be expected to be helped out of danger by the government, at least here.
