VIDEO AT LINK.......
A TJ Maxx customer was attacked online after he attempted to stop a shoplifter in Mira Loma, California.
In the now-viral video, the man can be seen throwing the shoplifter to the ground after she tried to walk away with bags full of merchandise that she did not pay for.
Instead of being thanked for stopping a crime in progress, the man was maligned on social media, with people implying that he was motivated by racism and should have minded his own business.
Multiple respondents said that he committed assault and should be charged accordingly.
Another user attempted to impugn the good Samaritan's motives, saying that he ‘just wanted an excuse’ to physically harm someone rather than stopping shoplifters from stealing from stores in his community.
Another user implied that he was racist, saying that he ‘just wanted an excuse to beat up a black woman’ before calling people defending the man ‘insurrectionists’.
Still, others defended him, with one person saying that while it may not be ‘worth it’ for people to stop shoplifters, there will be no stores left in communities of people do not step up.
Another user pointed out that the actions of shoplifters can negatively affect people in the community with increased prices, before saying that the man should be ‘given an award’.
The video of the man stopping the shoplifter can be seen below.

ABC 7 News Reports–
A customer was captured on video taking matters into his own hands and knocking an alleged thief to the ground as she tried to walk away with bags of merchandise from a T.J. Maxx store in Mira Loma.
Bystander footage showed the man confront the suspected shoplifter and reach for her bags, which set off a scuffle between the two near the entrance.
A witness said the altercation happened Sunday around 1:30 p.m. at a T.J. Maxx store on Limonite Avenue.
After one woman leaves, a man jumps in to stop the other woman from walking away. A brief struggle ensues and the man eventually knocks the woman to the ground, and she appears to leave without the two bags she tried to take.
thou shalt not impede diy reparations
If he should be criticized for anything, it would be shopping at TJ Maxx
Ever get the feeling social media gives a megaphone to people you never would of heard from before or given them a second of your time?
He was foolish to get involved in this. Not his job, not his stuff.
blacks are the stalking horse of the neo-marxist left. And so many are willing too. A few are not, but they are easily suppressed and ignored.
Since when is shoplifting okay? Would this outcry be the same for a white woman getting caught? If you steal, you deserve to pay the price...even if it includes being tossed to the ground. Being black should not convey a license to steal with impunity.

Social media is ridiculous. People will defend the thieves without fail. Maybe social media isn’t responsible, but it sure has revealed the truth about much of society.
Thus do civilizations die.
Law is merely the painted facade of the whole structure of society and culture that lie beneath.
When we finally become wholly atomized individuals, with no stake in society around us, a neutered and suppressed sense of justice, and calculating only our own survival, then America as we knew it, collapses, and the Marxists will have won. I think we are nearly there.
I highly suspect a good percentage of them are shoplifters themselves............
In the respect of avoiding trouble in your own life, it may have been ‘foolish’.
On the other hand, who else do you expect to ‘do the right thing’ if not the few percent of us who are shepherds, not sheep? You expect us to look the other way to lawlessness in society?
There was a time when the man would have been helped by many standing by.....................

Peaceful coexistence is dead.
In her book “Debunking Howard Zinn”, Mary Grabar says the inwards have been “mascots of the left” since the ‘30s.
She has a good point, I think.
Sammuel L Jackson (as Jules) “,,,but I’m tryin’ REAL HARD to be the shepherd.”
Hey, you can find some name brands at steep discounts there!
