If it was marketing I feel they would have only removed the products with issues, and upsold their other products to still make a profit. When Blue Bell Creamery stopped production on all frozen treats I believe it was proactive and reactive.

This shows exactly what someone would be willing to do in order to save a loved one. If I was in the exact situation that the man was, I probably would not have broken into the store. I would have asked people that I didn’t know for money for the drug, and/or tried to negotiate the price of the drug. Another possible solution to the issue that I would try would be to barter for the drug if he wants anything that I have in my possession.
