Serial thief who was beaten up by Sikh 7-Eleven staff in botched California robbery is FINALLY arrested - as civil rights lawyer warns cops NOT to probe staff for attacking him

A serial cigarette thief who was beaten up by the Sikh owners of a 7-Eleven after a botched robbery has been arrested.

Tyrone Frazier, 42, was arrested by officers after a video of himself attempting to steal cigarettes from a 7-Eleven in Stockton, California, went viral.

The workers are seen smacking Frazier with a stick after he entered the store with a garbage can and began filling it with tobacco products from behind the counter.

The attempted theft was the third time in two days the man had targeted the store. On a previous occasion, he tried to intimidate staff by claiming he had a handgun.

Despite widespread praise for the workers for defending the business, Stockton Police Department launched an assault probe into them which has now been slammed by a prominent civil rights lawyer.

Speaking to Fox News, attorney Leo Terrell told the network that authorities should not be looking to prosecute the 7-Eleven clerks.

He said: 'Who is at fault is very simply the criminal, look at how relaxed he is. That is the democratic laws that are in California, where the criminal is the victim.

'Because you know the system is racist. This District Attorney should have that criminal in jail right now because he did it not just once, but twice.

'If there is any focus on these shop owners who are trying to protect their property, no way. They should not be charged with criminal crime.

'If there is some time of civil suit, that criminal will have zero chance of prevailing. 7-Eleven should back up these shop owners.

'This is what is happening right now because people are tired of being attacked, robbed and physically assaulted.'

“7-Eleven should back up these shop owners.”

Fat chance of that. They’ll be luck to keep their jobs or to keep their 7-Eleven franchise.

They did not attack him. They defended their lives, property, and livelihoods, in subduing the thief and attacker.

Tyrone Frazier, 42, was arrested by officers after a video of himself...

"Himself"?? Excellent grammar there, Mr. Joe Hutchison, author. Youngsters have absolutely no idea how to use "himself," "herself," "him," "her," or "me."

Mr. Hutchison probably tells his wife "Iself is going store."

I misread the headline and thought it said that the Sikhs had been arrested.

That’s next....

“Stockton Police Department launched an assault probe into (the Sikhs).”

It’s perfectly legal to steal up to $950/day in California (well, it’s a misdemeanor, but the cops won’t respond).

I’m sure those Sikhs were told to “not interfere with shoplifters, to let them go” - as criminals shoplift them out of business...

Cops: Can you identify the suspect?

Sikhs: Yes. He has a dick and balls tattooed on his face.

Is it $950 per day, or $950 per theft?

"Excellent grammar there, Mr. Joe Hutchison, author."

Another fine product of our education system.

Many resumes I receive these days are poorly written. I reject them. A resume should represent the applicant's finest work. Apparently, many college graduates simply don't know how to write.

When I went to high school, proper English was a basic requirement for graduation.

I understand it is $950 per store.

These criminals often hit up a number of stores on the same day.

Some shop owners said they’ll use calculators to make sure they don’t go over the $950 limit.

It is appalling, isn’t it?

Not just writing and grammar, either. I was in the grocery store a couple days ago to buy some roast beef. I asked the young man (maybe 18 or 19) at the deli for eight ounces. He said “We don’t sell it by the ounce, only by the pound.” Hoo boy. I’d heard this before at another store in town.

I asked him “What fraction of a pound is eight ounces?”
“I dunno.”
“OK, how many ounces in a pound”
“I dunno.”
“There are sixteen ounces in a pound. I want eight ounces. What fraction of a pound is that?”
“I dunno.”
“Eight ounces is half of sixteen. How much do I want?
“I dunno”
(going nuts with exasperation) “I want a half pound.”

We are so doomed. At least he isn’t working at SpaceX.

Remember the older brother “Lewis” in “The Pope of Greenwich Village”? He had an interesting way of exacting punishment for wrongful hurt and deeds.
