  Literally stolen. As in illegally obtained.

  This type of criminality is woefully underpersecuted and underrepresented in tough on crime PR stunts, yet it makes a much larger number of $$$ than any theft or drug sales or even robbery.

  but noone can do anything about that ofc

  while for example drug users and distributors get hunted and shot, killed or imprisoned, because they are evil and deserve it 🙃

  But at least americans have freedom to be shot by vending machine bought glock, so it’s fine.

  James 5:1-6, NRSV

  Come now, you rich people, weep and wail for the miseries that are coming to you. Your riches have rotted, and your clothes are moth-eaten. Your gold and silver have rusted, and their rust will be evidence against you, and it will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up treasure during the last days. Listen! The wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, cry out, and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts. You have lived on the earth in luxury and in pleasure; you have nourished your hearts in a day of slaughter. You have condemned and murdered the righteous one, who does not resist you.
