Recently, in Xiangtan, Hunan, a man followed an eighty-year-old man on the bus.

At that time, there was more than 8,000 yuan in cash in the old man's bag. The man hesitated and stole 500 yuan and stuffed the remaining 7,500 yuan back.

The suspect was arrested and confessed that he “refunded” the money after stealing it. First, he thought that it might be the old man’s life-saving money, and second, he felt that stealing 8,000 yuan would be a heavy sentence...

　　Along with such a piece of news, subtle public sentiments appeared on the Internet: many netizens praised the suspect for “theft also has the right way”, “the conscience is not lost”, “the heart is kind”, and some people even “respect” him. As "the thief" and "the thief commander", he claimed to be "moved" by him.

I know this is a piece of legal news, but I don’t know, I thought it was a group of fans calling for their idols!

　　To paraphrase a classic line from the hit drama of the year, if the suspects suspected of theft are worthy of praise and praise, what is the dignity of the law?

Where do the boundaries of justice exist?

Suspected of a crime is suspected of a crime, so how can “theft also be the right way”?

Illegal possession of other people’s property should be punished by law. How can there be any “chief”?

Wrong is wrong, we can't reverse the black and white right from wrong, and in any case, we won't let a suspect come to "touch China"!

　　As some netizens have said, if they really "have good intentions", how can they commit crimes?

If you really can’t bear to take the old man’s life-saving money, stealing a dollar is also stealing!

Many people only noticed the "reason one" of the suspect's stuffing money back, but ignored the "reason two" in his mouth, which is susceptible to "selective blindness".

　　Of course, it is the unchanging principle to treat the sick and save the life after punishment. We also hope that the prodigal son will be able to return to life after being punished as he deserves.

But saying one thousand things and ten thousand things, we can’t and shouldn’t be blindly "moved" because some people’s actions have changed from "big evil" to "little evil", and even put up a thumbs up for them. Don’t think so, otherwise, don’t you forget the ancient motto of "Don’t do evil for small things"?

Isn't it sheltering and condoning "evil"?
