THIS IS NOT ABOUT COST.
It is a fashion thing. A few years ago people were being killed for their Helly Hansen jackets in DC. Before that it was North Face. Now it is Canadian Goose. Tomorrow it might be Karbon. It does not matter. It is trendy.
By the way now, EVERYBODY is wearing Helly Hansen skiing today. Making even more tragic the kids shot and killed just a few years ago for wearing it.

No one in the DMV needs a Range Rover or other high-end SUV and yet parking lots and driveways are full of them. The beauty of living in a free country is that people can spend their money as they see fit.
They are necessary for traversing the potholes in this city. You also need them to clear the bollards to access the good parking.

People who are good at heart and hard working, they probably work 2 minimum wage jobs and are still unable to feed their kids or keep roof over their head, which is why they steal. Out of despair. They will be selling this coat on ebay to help cover rent or buy food for their starving children. They deserve only our sincerest sympathy, not punishment and not even any badmouthing. Save the badmouthing for the aholes wearing overpriced unnecessary flashy status symbol clothes who are stealing from the working poor probably to afford this.
I work very hard for my status symbols and I'll wear them proudly without your poor ass judgement, thank you. These monsters are thieves, no sympathy from me. They are violating people and providing unimaginable trauma when they victimize each and every robbery victim. You can take your sympathy and shove it, and I believe I express exactly how the majority of people in this city feel. I am not an ass.... for wearing something I worked very hard for, your are an ass for suggesting otherwise.
