If I thought it was relevant I’d share, however it isn’t relevant who I am or what my anecdotes are, so instead I’ll point out your distraction as just that; a distraction from the real problem here, which is inequity.

No matter how many times you say otherwise, people would rather not steal. Fix their circumstances, fix their behavior. If you actually cared about solving the problem, you’d care about helping these people.

But no. For you, this is about petty vindictive retribution. Your inability to empathize with someone not like you creates a cycle of hate that’s self perpetuating, further exacerbating the problem rather than being effective in finding a lasting solution.

There are definitely some people who would rather steal.

You need to get out of your bubble man.

I'm confused about why you think I believe otherwise.

You're making a claim without evidence here. I'd like to believe as you do, but "people would rather not steal" is a statement of faith, not fact.

Well no, it's not a statement of faith, but it is a statement that presupposes you're familiar with human psychology.

I've got a number of other comments here at this point that cite sources which explain things better than I'll ever be able to, if you're actually curious, I recommend you read those sources (and others, "are people good?" is a fairly well trod area of psychology, and indeed philosophy).
