Juggling With EggsWill historians look back and wonder why the police focused their efforts on Quaker Meeting Houses and never Tufton Street or the private clubs of Mayfair?
🌱🏴🅰️🏳️⚧️🐧🔧📎 AmbiyelpThe "goods" to be shoplifted were food. They wanted to redistribute food. They arrested robin hood lol.
I wonder why the BBC decided to call it "arrested for wanting to redistribute goods" rather than "arrested for wanting to redistribute food"

You do realize food is a good, right? And how do you know they only planned to steal food?
@AlexanderKingsbury Do you know the meaning of the word "Obfuscation" its like if I called a murderer "A person convicted of a crime"
Yes, but your example is poor. Someone can murder someone and not be convicted, or even caught. Happens quite a bit, actually.
I know from past experience that you're not going to answer any of my questions. This was more to point out to anyone else reading that you probably don't know what you're talking about. Have a nice day.
@AlexanderKingsbury It is obvious from context that in that example I was talking about a convicted murderer, in most contexts it would be obfuscation or lying by omission to call such a person "a person with a criminal conviction"
Leaving out the detail that goods were food is a lie by omission to manipulate the public. "Stealing goods" conjures images of stealing electronics, valuables, luxury items - perhaps to fence. It is a completely different image to what was actually planned which was to steal food and give to people who needed it for free.
