as though it were for you or me to even make such a determination. The article indicates that some of them put out pen and paper and tried to get him to leave a grocery list. He declined to cooperate, so they stopped. I doesn't sound like some of these people were particularly bothered by him getting free groceries and otherwise leaving the place essentially untouched. I am not saying that makes his choice "morally correct" or anything. But, you are trying to impose a determination here that dramatically differs from the evidence we have been presented for how some of these people felt about the situation.
