Stealing From the Homeless? Welcome to the 'Real America'

The Environmental Law Society at West Virginia University College of Law is collecting items to donate to the poor. It has gotten a pretty good response, despite fostering socialist ideals of wealth redistribution in the heart of Appalachia.

A school-wide email let students know that the food drive was being extended:

The Environmental Law Society Donation Drive for MUSHROOM has been extended until Friday, November 7 at NOON. Please bring in individual snacks (e.g. crackers, pretzels, etc.), peanut butter, jelly, water bottles, socks, regular and long underwear, hand warmers, hats, scarves, and gloves. All donations go to help Morgantown’s homeless population.

Yay charity!

But apparently some WVU students appropriated the charitable contributions unto themselves:

Because items from the box in the student lounge were being consumed, the DONATION BOX has MOVED to the MAIN OFFICE. Please help make this effort a success by donating.

Wow. Were some students worried that the donations meant for Morgantown would end up in Ann Arbor? Maybe some of the kids were just conscientious objectors to the very concept of charitable giving?

Or maybe some of the students were just completely unreliable assholes?
