This is refreshing. Regular folks stop a shoplifter at a Home Depot in Vermont as he tries to get away with a cart full of stolen goods. He forgot he wasn’t in San Francisco.

Lots of F bombs flying as the HD thief gets thwarted and abused
“Remember the movie Roadhouse? America is getting to that point.”
The remake is coming out Thursday, March 21
Here is the trailer -—— https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0ZsLudtfjI
Looks like some good B movie fun and action. Conor McGregor is in it. I believe he plays a bad guy.
Not much, though.
The copper wire is in metal cages, now. Cashiers are replaced by checking yourself out now, under guard.
I think it’s ugly. More like China.
They even talk like regular people rather than with streams of beeps between words. Hope they got the thief’s license plate number and left no doubt that any attempt to sic lawyers on them could result in much more of an ass kicking than he got here.
Wow!! Those men are heroes!!
I must reluctantly agree with you. It’s not 1950 anymore. I would never physically confront a criminal over a property crime. Too many druggies with knives out there.
It would be a different story if a person was being assaulted. Then you gotta step in, and take the risk. (But remember that hero Marine on the NYC subway?)
The world isn’t binary. Enjoy getting shot over some corporate write off.
Never saw the dollar store selling 40 gallon trash cans. Did the thief bring their own garbage can?
It's VT. They're all white.
The years and years of "you're a racist" have had the desired effect ... a cowed and dispirited populace.
And in Costco Sam’s Club and BJs and sometimes even in Walmart they check your receipt. Meanwhile a shoplifter can just waltz right out the door with big screen tvs but paying customers get treated like criminals.
Same here, its was extra great as the other shoppers in the parking lot jumped in to help.
Those guys will probably get some trouble for this. I am glad they went after him and stopped him though.
Sometimes something happening to a thief like this will scare him into thinking long and hard about doing it again.
He probably went for that one item that he was determined to take and thought, why stop with one item when I can walk with a cartload?
If those fellas hadn’t stopped him, nobody would have and he would have been back later in the day for more.
Yep! His “plumber’s crack” was definitely white.
Every cornered thief should be considered armed and dangerous.
US voluntary mask compliance was 75-85% it was expected to be 25-35%-
Undoubtedly caused by “you’re a racist”
They used to put the mentally ill in asylums, now they roam free. Anyone confro0nting random strangers at this point is naive.
This was in the hood in Cincinnati. Dollar stores are urban Walmarts. Yes, it was plastic with wheels and it was narrow enough to fit between the barricades designed to keep the stores bascarts from being rolled away. I was a PepsiCo rep in the hood for decades. I could tell you some stories.
It is risky to deal with criminal "migrants" in Europe. Many of them carry knives. Talking about black Africans, Muslim North Africans, Afghanis, Muslims from the Middle East.
And this is one of the major aspects of this “One World Government” that is so crappy. Americans have had it so good, because, in general, they have been so much more honest. We can’t join the “world” until it’s as crappy here as everywhere else.
What makes a store chain think that it is a good idea, or will even save them money, to replace cashiers with thugs who frisk you at the door? My only guess is, China, who now produces most of the merchandise in the store and desperately wants America to be as despotic as they are.
“Every cornered thief should be considered armed and dangerous.”
Me too
Dangerous if you stop a black man. Twice as dangerous if you stop a black woman.
