Shopifting can pay.

The fuzz is probably still collecting evidence. I'd watch my back if I were you.

Like most people, you rationalize your inaction and come up with limitless excuses for why you shouldn't take responsibility for your community.

As a point of fact, the chances that any of that would happen are miniscule. The chances that you will become a victim of crime if you live in such a community as the one you advocate are much higher.

Odds that these employees will be fired and/or labeled racists? Zero.

Oh please. I'm an immigrant and I served as a combat officer im my homeland fighting in 3 wars. I risked my life for my country because I knew that my government will back me up and if something will happen to me, they will take care of my family.

Here you will be ruined financially by the criminals' or his family lawsuit, shamed by BLM and progressives, and fired because your company does not want bad PR. Nobody will back me up, except some comments on youtube.
I will defend only myself and my family.

I was talking to a security person at a chain store whose job took him to all the locations in my town. They also changed their policy a couple years back where they let the shoplifters go once they exit the front door. And the same shoplifters go to each store in the chain with little fear. And shoplifting has increased sharply.

I thought the same thing would happen when they changed this policy about 7 years ago, there are some younger people that know this about our chain, and do take advantage of it, but overall, shoplifting has remained about the same for all the stores in my district (which is about 28 stores). Even stores in high crime areas, shoplifting does not effect P&L significantly.

I think this is mostly due to the way our contracts are written, cigarettes are a great example, they are a high theft item, but Altria (Marlboro) 'eats' most of this, the stores do not loose a dime when a pack of cigarettes are stolen.
