Maybe the employees are in on it.

If I were one of those employees, *I* would do nothing.

Why do anything? Why risk violence? There will be no prosecutions and no consequences in any case.

Keep your head down and hope you still have a job. That is the only prudent course.

The employees would have gotten a beat down if they tried to stop the thieves. Look like panty-fa whites to me.

If I was a Marshalls employee, no way I’m getting stabbed to protect some customers purse or an armfull of clothes. I would call the police hoping they would shoot the perps.

Sorry. When you have a stolen presidential election that everyone knows about and everyone knows everyone knows about it including Fox News, the state republican legislators, foreign governments, the taliban, enemy states and you have blue cities allowing such lawlessness, what are employees supposed to do. It’s Marshall’s. It’s a group of women with creepy boyfriends what are they supposed to do? Jump the counter and wrestle the guy?

The NYPD doesn’t have the authority by order of their mayor to do their jobs

The military just did the same as these guys did, giving to loot to the taliban and to communist China

And Marshall’s restockers are going to enforce?.

No

The employees steal the sensor removal machines and sell them for a fortune.

Pretty crazy.

We all know thieves are out there. What’s with Marshall’s?

Stupid article. I spent a career in Loss Prevention for a major retailer. Employees are encouraged to only offer aggressive hospitality when they see theft. Nothing more.

Many stores have a policy forbidding employees from interfering with thieves. There was a Home Depot employee a couple years ago who was shot, AND got fired afterwards.

Anyway, they’re not paid security guards. They’re not paid enough to risk life and limb in defense of a giant corporate entity. Marshall’s can absorb the loss far better than a minimum-wage employee can afford to get a beat-down from criminals.

And their employer would have fired them. They prefer to lose merchandise rather than be on the hook for employee disability claims. Aside from this, I think some people are happy to see others being passive because it is a means of reprogramming people/ It is human nature to oppose theft and taking advantage of others but liberals and radicals are in a war against human nature and might cheer this weak reaction. Once you kill natural impulses in the masses, there is no end to what you can replace them with.

Why would the employees try to stop it? What’s in it for them? Getting assaulted or worse?

Having seen the video, these are the folks who Joe Biden days will be a good thing to have running the country.

I’ve worked at Walmart, if that’s anything similar. They tell the employees to report but do not confront customers if you see them doing anything suspicious. Unless they come in shooting, do nothing.

That NYPost reporter must be on the side of the stealers.
Why was the witness fully identified by name?
That wasn’t necessary.
Now Ms Rodriguez and her husband are in danger of being tracked down and attacked by the thieves.
That also discourages a citizen from chosing to get involved.

As of October first in Austin, you can’t call 911 anymore. You call 311 and they send out social workers to the scene.... Not a joke.

Try not paying your property taxes and see if the Democrats ignore that.
