church kitchen
not necessarily church
as in not that much money. he might have sold the silverware they give the homeless to eat though.
or perhaps the thousand of dollars that come from the homeless paying for their meals.
i remain at my idea that should he wanted to steal, he would have mugged someone or break into a house.

church-run soup kitchens (charity kitchens) have to abide by the same food regulations as restaurants (a charity kitchen in CA near here ran into trouble when they didn't have dual sinks, etc., etc.). meaning they have lots of equipment sitting around. and possibly ...[text shortened]... .
he can come in to eat for FREE when it's open, he didn't need to break in to steal food.

Misanthropy, brinkmanship and willy waving, on the part of legislators, all rolled into one.
Originally posted by shavixmirSaying he was looking for food was a lame effort to put a positive spin on his attempt to burglarize the church and whatever he found in it.
13 years for stealing bread?

How can you clowns be so gullible?
I don't approve of the sentence either, but COME ON.

So, you give him a couple of months of community service and force him to get a bloody job in McDonalds or something.
You don'd lock someone up for something like that. The mere fact that they are makes me sure someone's making money out of ...[text shortened]... t.
Next thing you know they'll be using prisoners as cheap labour. Oh... they do, do they?
