I suppose next time you jaywalk or come to a rolling stop or go a few miles over the speed limit, you should be executed, right? You know who does that? Groups like ISIS and the Nazis.
Committing a crime isn't cause for vigilante execution. Never, unless a life is directly threatened and there is literally no other option.
A guy dies while trying to steal from a store and the government puts the security officers in jail. No wonder tge whole liberal world is in the crapper.
When one breaks 15 ribs for a property crime, then those who inflicted that type of harm gets arrested. Also none of the people were security officers and Walmart has a policy not to chase shoplifters as they have cameras in the stores.

Charged were Nathan Higgins, 35, a support manager, Crucelis Nunez, 23, a customer service manager, and Ruandall Tooko, 58, who works in loss prevention.

Lakeland police said Friday that criminal charges were warranted after the coroner ruled that Wisham died of mechanical asphyxia and that he had suffered 15 broken ribs.
Nobody deserves to die for shoplifting - THAT is the much bigger wrong. I don't care if it is store personnel doing the killing, some bystander, or a police officer. REASONABLE force. No one's life was in danger until these idiots wanted to be big shots. Yes - I hope they go to jail - and if they get off I don't know if that's better or worse than the police getting off in these kinds of cases but it makes me sick.
I do not know the logic to bring up manslaughter charges against Walmart associates who stopped and restrained the shoplifter. They did their job. The charges should be dropped easily.
If police officers chased someone down and broke 15 ribs and suffocated the person, would that not be considered excessive force? If so, why not apply the same laws to non-police?
IMO, chasing the person is fine, in order to keep directing the person to stop and obtain identifying characteristics of the vehicle for the police to follow up on.
The employees should not put their hands on anyone in this day and age IMO. Just ensure photographs are taken and license plate/description are recorded thoroughly, and call 911.
I wonder why they don't state they are placing the person under citizen's arrest & call the police to complete the arrest--that way, if the person tried to leave, (I think) resisting arrest would be an additional charge. (interesting link but not about Fla law)
