Expecting the government to do anything about crime is a futile gesture. The only thing holding society together in many places is the right to keep and bear...
...I agree.....the moral fabric of our once-great country is unraveling at an astounding pace...just a decade or so ago, this sort of thing would have been almost unheard of, but today.....just like those two LuLuLemon workers who were fired because they followed a shoplifter out of their store to get his car license plate....very sad.....
Enrichment of society
Rasor said his father wouldn’t want “this guy to be in jail the rest of his life,” about Terry McAnthony McMillian, 26, who was charged with his dad’s murder in January, as well as robbery charges.
“He would rather that guy be graduating from law school and be on an internship right now somewhere,” Rasor said. “That’s what he’d want. But he’s not, he’s sitting in jail.”
3 pressure washers-— wheeled them out- did not CHECK them out. Where’s your receipt, and uh... the alarms on the doors went off. This son is correct to do this- and Home Depot should reward loyal employees.
Loss prevention insurance rates are going through the roof, and just like insurance a@@holes tell MD’s to just pay the lawsuit they’ll cover it— these jackasses say— let em walk. SOMEBODY is paying, and it is reflected in the prices the inflation and the sheer negligence to customers who DO pay. Perhaps an electronic device that shocks the thief on the way out— enough to make them pee, and also UV spray marking them. That would slow this up on major items.
Part of the reason for stores not wanting employees to interfere with shoplifters is liability. If a shop lifter or employee is injured, juries could award an ASTRONOMICAL awards in the tens of millions of dollars. Recovering a few pressure washers is not worth the risk.
The democrats want that thievery. They made laws to allow stealing up to $1,000 worth at one time by one person. This was deliberate and intentional. They don’t believe in private property. They feel the “underclass” should be able to waltz right in and take what they want from their “oppressors.” The dems don’t care if innocent people are killed in the process.
If someone could be awarded $366 million (upheld on appeal so far) for "feeling discriminated against", then this man's family should be able to get something comparable for losing his life for simply doing his job while the companies in question encourage this lawless behavior for fear of being branded "racist" if they prevent criminals from stealing from them.
Victor Davis Hanson has been sounding the alarm about this for quite a while.
There was an outstanding article about this on American Thinker a couple days ago: The Decline and Fall of the American Empire>

They need a security system that’s updated shot gun with rock salt.
Word get around fast no steal zone.
2% of the population commits 60% of the murders. Everyone knows what the problem is.
Killing shoplifters would end a lot of this.
