Nobody is saying that the way the guy handled it will suddenly make her stop. But you're acting like you can just tell criminals "hey, what you're doing is wrong" and magically all is right in the world.
If I was stealing something and someone made it known to me that they saw me, I'd probably freak out and abort the mission. Being as dramatic as he was isn't necessary.
This "shaming" fad right now is creepy and weird.

If this guy tried some bullshite like this with me, whether I was stealing or not, his arse would leave that walmart on a gurney.

Putting an item into your purse canNOT get you arrested even if the man was a police officer on duty. You have not stolen until you've left the store.
It depends on which state you're in, hun bun.

I would have given him a big if he had asked for my ID. Yeah, stealing is wrong, but tell an employee. Trying to be judge and jury isn't this guys job. He's another George Zimmerman, trying to take the law into his own hands.

What great courage. I wonder if he does the same to 6'2" black males he thinks might be stealing.

Yea, this guy is a douche. He is probably a tea party member and supports George Zimmerman

I want to see him trying to pull this off at WalMart on Tchop in NOLA.

Are you fricking people serious??? Upset because a shoplifter was caught in the act and called out and humiliated??? Seriously??? You people are what's wrong with this country. Sympathy for a got damn thief!!! WTF???? She was STEALING!!! She should be in jail....period. She should be public ally outed and humiliated...not perceived as a victim. Just friggin ridiculous.
Really? I didn't see anything illegal that she did in that video. Yes, she more than likely was gonna shoplift the items judging by her body language after being confronted, but I have seen on more than one occasion where people don't grab a basket because they are going in for one or two things, only to grab a handful of things. So they will use their purse or pockets to help carry the items.
Shoplifting is not a crime until you have left the store with the item.

Lots of racists liberals in here pondering how this guy reacts if it were a large black male.
Why do all alternative shoplifters have to be black? What if it were a democrat of any other race?

I get what you and others are saying in this thread, but come the frick on. It's clear as day she was going to shoplift. Again, the guy was a complete dick and may have taken it a step too far, but I'm glad he did it.
Posted on 2/20/14 at 5:45 am to Fight4LSU
You might want to check that out in some states you don't need to leave the store.
Posted on 2/20/14 at 5:53 am to Mrtommorrow1987
The guy stopped the chick from stealing without anyone getting hurt and without even one tax dollar being spent. I see no problem here.

Actually, shoplifting is always a crime, period. Now you may question whether hiding stuff in your purse at a store constitutes shoplifting....but unless you are brain dead, you know what she's doing. (And, if I point a gun at your head and pull the trigger, I guess you can't definitively say I was trying to kill you unless you actually die.). And in normal circumstances, this guy may have been an a-hole. However, this wasn't a normal circumstance....the bitch was stealing. I have no sympathy for her. She sure as shite isn't a victim here. Oh...and

She wasn't lifting food.
The guy sounded like a dick but I'm not going to sit and feel sorry for the woman.

Being shamed has more of a chance of getting her to stop
This is what is wrong. Shame was once a great motivator - nobody wanted to lose the respect of their family or community or to show themselves in a bad light.
Now - shame seems to be something that is obsolete. On here you see it plain and clear. "you don't have the right to shame her for stealing." = biggest problem we have with the country right now.
When I was a child, NOBODY wanted anything to do with 'public assistance.' That would have been 'shameful.' You only went to the government if totally desperate and no other way to survive. Now, it is just another 'option' for how to live your life, raise your family, blend in with the community.
Shame needs to be brought back and people who do unethical things need to be shunned.
