An 83-year-old North Carolina Home Depot worker has died — weeks after he was tossed to the ground trying to stop a “menace to society” shoplifter still on the loose.
Gary Rasor is seen on surveillance footage stepping up to confront a man wheeling three Ryobi pressure cookers out of the Hillsborough store Oct. 18 — only to be shoved to the ground by the crook who then casually strolls away.
Rasor was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he celebrated his 83rd birthday and made hopeful plans to see his new grandchild for the first time, his wife told WNCN.
He died Thursday “due to complications from the injuries received,” Hillsborough cops announced the next day.
The North Carolina medical examiner has ruled the death a homicide, police said, adding the hunt continues for a suspect they previously branded a “menace to society.”

Someone breaking into your garage to commit a crime and someone walking into Home Depot and stealing an item are two VASTLY different things.
Depends on the amount of theft, and the size of the chain.
Obviously small mom and pop stores hurt harder then say walmart.
So anyone who steals anything on any given day is a looter and should be shot on sight? You’re going to shoot some kid who snags a pack of gum on a dare? Have fun with that in court.

Why did you jump all the way over there?
When people do what that criminal did, and what those mobs do, that’s looting.
It’s certainly not your ordinary shoplifter who conceals a couple things and tries to get out of the store unnoticed.
These folks are stealing to sell later on Ebay and Amazon.
It’s organized crime. It’s not “stealing a pack of gum on a dare”.
I never ever in my 55 years of life would i have ever imagined being REQUIRED to wear a face mask while entering a bank.
The country has gone INSANE...
Don’t be a dick and work at DICKS
I’m old enough to remember the posters FORBIDDING the wearing of anything like masks, helmets, sunglasses, etc, inside banks.
Yes, batcrap crazy.
