Jazzcat, if she took off before the guy could press charges, and it didn't hit the media, where would you find a story online about it? Nothing exists other than a video, and that's likely all you'll find.
You're right, MPowering. But I don't know why they wouldn't have called the police or at least gotten her license plate if she came in a car, etc.

According to this, it happened in St. Louis, last year---and she was upset that they ran out of Skittles...

Oh, so you were able to find something on it.

It's unclear whether or not the police were called. In the other clip someone posted, it sounded like they were called but five minutes went by without them arriving. I don't understand what took so long.

Not everything gets coverage. I'm guessing this kind of thing happens more than we think, but we never hear about it.

And of course, people are so afraid to touch another person these days that the response is to just stand and watch the tornado blowing through hoping it winds down at some point.

What are you talking about? This is normal now. Get used to it. What in the world do you think is going to change, and how?

When seconds count, the police will be there in a few minutes.



Reinforced to me last night with a 15-minute response time to my call.

You need to get out more? Travel the world. Trashy people are all over the world, not isolated to the U.S.

Call the Police- Have her not only arrested, but BANNED from this store, and have other stores warned about her behavior.
Malicious Destruction of Other Peoples Property is a Crime !!!!
This is not a "do anything you wanna do society", either follow the rules or suffer the consequences of incarceration. Maybe they too may need to suspend her food stamps in order to get her to understand the acts she has engaged and then this is followed up with a $ value penalty for the willful destruction of other peoples property especially in a commercial establishment.

Why didn't someone just give her a Snickers candy bar?

What?

It worked in the commercial.
