This is actual action, folks. This puts food in bellies and hurts the rich. Not a protest or a hashtag campaign.
I wouldn't call it direct action or praxis. I doubt it was done for some political message or to help people, they are likely poor and hungry... although if they stole so much food to share, then I would count it as direct action.
Way to brag about not reading the article.
The food was donated to food shelters all over the city and placed under a public christmas tree.
You just jumped to them doing it for themselves.
I'll admit I didn't do my due diligence, was late and was tired, appreciate you correcting me.
Hey, no worries, just dont want us to immediately expect the worst of others and I prefer to push back against it. Trying to give them their credit for doing something.
activism like that is unheard of in this side of the pond, I'm also happy about this
Its certainly rare anywhere or else we wouldn't still be talking about robin hood much.
Its real neat they tried it though.
try?
didn't they succeed
Nothing is ever over. Even if they hadn't succeeded this is pretty incredible thing to even try to do.
it just so heartwarming to see people put themselves at risk to help strangers in need.
