give us a detailed example of how you'd level up your hero and make our grandfathers proud in a flash retail theft situation?

Systemic merciless beatings is pretty much the only thing at hand that could stop this epidemic but I don't see it happening widespread enough to make a real difference. Every one of those videos has people standing idly by but it would cease to go on if the village ever decided enough was enough.

I’d probably try to separate the weak one. Like a big cat chasing a baby impala.

Maybe if "our grandfathers" had done a better job running the country and raising their sons and grandsons, the country wouldn't have gone to shite and be full of pussies.

I’ve developed a series of questions and a flowchart to help me decide.


I feel confident that by the time i’ve decided, they will be gone. And i will talk about how i was GONNA do something.

Thats my plan.

I'm just sick of this stuff. I hate a thief more than anything

Why do you give a damn if they aren't stealing your personal property?

Seriously, companies build in shrinkage in the form of theft & loss into their operating costs.

Our grandfathers fought wars against existential threats.

I'm not the police and and I'm not their parent(s). I'm not risking my life to stop a thug from stealing property that isn't mine.

Because we don't live in a third world country. This type of anti-social behavior is bad for everyone, regardless of if it's your property specificially.

And they drive up the costs for all of us. You know how those companies cushion the loss they build in? By charging the paying customers more.

And if it gets too bad, they just shut the whole store down leaving a blighted building and one less shopping option in that area.

Why would I do that? Unwinnable situation, and unless they presented a real and present danger to an innocent, it's not worth throwing my life away.

Because these days the only thing seperating the US from the third world is a water/power grid? Today it's stores, what do you think it'll be tomorrow? A cul-de-sac? A neighborhood that doesn't have an MLK drive in it maybe? Apathy towards mob mentality isn't a solution.

One swift beating at the right time could change a life for the better, but the "not my cow" argument doesn't apply when it's the country you live in and it's as rampant as it is.

All jokes aside, you're risking a lot more than to save a company who is already ripping you off a buck.

Especially in blue areas where those thugs don't even get arrested.

Only if they endanger someone else's life.

I could not stand by watching an assault, but if they are just free wheeling out with product, I wouldn't do a damn thing since most store policies require their employees to do nothing.
