Stop being an ass, Paul. Guyana got more food than what you might believe. People don't starve there.  But you wouldn't know this since you don't go there..
This man in question is just a thief. He went into the home to uplift items and it so happen that a bowl of food was there which he made use of. Simple.

Sheik, these poor laborers are working like slaves and paid peanuts. Most times their bosses take advantage of them. The man was forced to steal because he was hungry and need a tea shirt to cover his back. This is a minor offense, Do you thing he will get pardon for his petty crime? Guyana have plenty of food when you have money to spend. But for the poor, they have to turn to stealing or begging to survive. This is not the first incident. It happens many times already.
