More of my family's repugnant display of faith

A thief robs a dozen stores. Upon being caught, the magistrate learns that the thief gave the property he didn't want to charity, leaving only 25% to himself.

His argument is that "he did more good than harm."

Why does the judge not agree?

In a similar vein, this man has committed fraud. The reasonable expectation is that charitable donations will go to the cause it is associated with, sometimes paying for the very transport of volunteer relief workers and the like. There is little to no good explanation that places this delightful gentlemen within that expectation.

Ergo, while perhaps he included a legal caveat stating "some goes to me", it won't work in any court of law, as the associated reasonable expectations that come with charity are not met and he represented himself as a charity.

That is one of many interpretations that instead of shouting unethical, actually does something by looking at the misrepresentation that said gentlemen has indulged in.

Not steal other people's money and then send off some of it to their desired cause. I certainly hope you can vouch for the same.

Depends. However, as recent court rulings have held, Facebook is more akin to the public watering hole than a private space unless measures have been taken to enact the reasonable expectations of such (which, if violated, Facebook would find itself in a rather sticky mess because there is established precedent). That said, fuck him.

I've no sympathy of thieves and even less for religiously motivated ones.
