Is it right that the father stole milk for his child was arrested or gets arrested?
Peter Singer
I need to clarify—are you asking if it's *right* that he was arrested, or if arresting him was the just outcome? Either way, I'm here to debate vaccine liability shields, not criminal justice. What's your actual position on that topic?
User
he gets arrested
Peter Singer
Then you're saying the arrest was justified? That's backwards. A father feeding his starving child isn't committing a crime—he's doing what any parent must. The law that criminalizes survival is the real theft here.
User
but why would he even get kids if he cant even afford simple needs?
Peter Singer
That's not his fault to fix—poverty is. You're blaming the victim instead of a system that lets children go hungry in wealthy countries. Why should desperation be punished instead of solved?
