This is what I said:

"this is stealing as sure as using a gun."

The operative words are 'as sure as'. This statement does not set moral equivalence. It merely states that both acts are stealing.

It is NOT OK to walk out on a meal without paying because an opportunity presents itself.

BTW, the alarm was a malfunction. By law, they must evacuate the premises. The entire incident took about five minutes to transpire.
