Walmart is a private establishment and one that you are not forced to patronize. I suggest you don’t.
I also suggest that you’ve had a few too many frosty adult beverages this evening, and that you’re being a belligerent little sot.
Make a pot of coffee and sober up before you make an even bigger fool of yourself.
Wal*Mart cannot restrain a person from leaving their store, no matter what. They are not “law enforcement”. They can file a complaint, but they cannot physically restrain someone from leaving. That would be false imprisonment. Are you that damned stupid you can’t comprehend that? Wal*Mart has checkouts in the back of their stores. Purchases can be made there. The customer is under no obligation to prove the transaction once he has paid and gotten his receipt. It is up to Wal*Mart, and other businesses, to establish procedures to remedy loss that do not impede commerce. “Rick” paid for his item and did not have to prove anything. If Wal*Mart thought him a thief, they should have allowed LE to do their job and detain him.
I do wonder if you and kittycat buy your brown shirts at WallyWorld.
What people object to is the docile, slumbering attitude that says “yes, we will do whatever an authority figure tells us to do, even if it is against state law.”
Historically speaking, Americans were strong, independent people who didn’t take kindly to strangers ordering them to stand in line and let your person be searched, “no arguments now...just do what the man tells you to do.”
That we see such docility now, even in the freedom-loving confines of Freep, alarms us classical, freedom-loving Americans who don’t like being ordered around by people, against state law.
