ALAMEDA, Calif. (KGO) -- A frustrated customer took matters into his own hands, wrestling with, and even body slamming a suspected shoplifter and his associate at an Alameda Walgreens.

To no avail if the policy of Walgreens is to let shoplifters steal unimpeded.
As prices skyrocket, people are righteously frustrated and sick and tired of freeloaders taking whatever they want and getting away with it.
That includes those who use EBT cards - which are tied to inflations, unlike YOUR paycheck or retirement check:
“Alameda police say if you witness a crime and can record it safely, it’s a plus — But to get involved opens a person up to litigation and possible charges if the suspect is arrested.”
There’s your problem.....unfreakin’believeable
What? People that actually want the laws enforced, so they’re likely going to file multiple charges against this guy in order discourage vigilantism.
Walgrens is like NATO. Won’t stand up for itself. No cops filmed. The guy will go free. What if he was black and had fentenal in his system? Probably not get involved.
That explains why crap at Walgreens is so much more expensive than walmart
This thing went on for 20 minutes and no cop showed up. Libtards to blame. Hoist on your petard.
As hard as it might be for decent people to ignore crime, it’s the best policy given the rise of Woke corporations.
I see no punches thrown. A quick move and a hearty haymaker on assailant #2 would have allowed the detention of the suspect. But...who can say?
The wussified perp. What are the chances he’s not getting laid on a regular basis? Just askin’.
And the perps will sue the man that stepped in, win. Own everything he has.
And the do-gooder will end up with a record for the rest of his life. And be basically unemployable.
Who says crime doesn’t pay?
Yep, and the rise of Amazon. Drop it off at my doorstep. I'm good.
That guy is about to get legally screwed. CA’s legal system will hang him out to dry.
I’m guessing drug addict
In CA, there’s a lot of non-addicts doing shoplifting. There’s literally no consequence if they steal less than ~$1K.
It made me wonder where the doughnut-eaters’ wives shop.
People are starting to realize that these stores are going to disappear, and then they’ll have nothing.
<< body slamming >>
Not exactly a slam, unfortunately. But it wasn’t a bad move. Kudos to the good citizen.
Both those guys needed their heads put through a wall. At minimum.
Amazon.
Part of the plan.
