Let's hear your wonderful philosophy concerning the treatment of thieves. You can be you own proof. Should a shoplifter be stopped, detained, and charged with a crime, or should a shoplifter be ignored or told to leave the store whilst carrying his spoils?

No substance. Just attack.

I stand by my original assertion, that shoplifting reports are neither political nor controversial.

I suppose we are sixes, then: I with my lack of substance and attack, and you with your unwillingness to answer, and evasion of, the question.

I stole a packet of peebles, and a small ringbinder, when I was about 10 - never got caught.

Shopifting can pay.

That is pretty brazen.

By the looks of the guy he has probably been a bully his entire life that likes to throw his weight around.



It was funny when he fell.

I do wonder what happened next. Were the Police called? Did the employees get reprimanded for confronting the guy?
Did the fat guy file a slip and fall law suit against the grocer and the parking lot owner?





He didn't just fall.
He got knocked the **** out.


That way littler guy following behind him, popped him good and then ran off.

Watch closely. The young guy just observed the goings-on for a second, saw the employees were in trouble, and did something to help them. And then left.

It didn't take much of a push to knock the wind out of that fat guy, for sure.
Push? He popped him & knocked him out. The big guy was reach'n like Frankenstein.

The local news I saw did say he was later arrested and they are looking for the guy that knocked the big fat dbag out.

I'm not defending the thief. If I was immune from criminal and civil lawsuits I would shot that bastard.
I'm talking about the employees that in this crazy climate exposing themselves to 100500 possible troubles.

Huh? And you will pay my lawyer? And you will find me a new job after I, as a non black, will be accused in racism and fired? Did you come yesterday to USA from Mars?

I don't get it. Why is this topic in this section? Is the OP race baiting?
