This is something you CAN do. BOYCOTT BIG LOTS. Period. No discussion about liabilities. Nothing. Quit shopping there. His employee was ASSAULTED. Any lawyer who would sue Big Lots over that incident should be tried under a new Federal law that should be passed in 2025 that makes it the death penalty for ANYONE to get involved in a lawsuit against a company employee for trying to stop shoplifting.

Sounds like they want to go out of business. I say we help them out.

[Gene Eric]

So Big Lots is effectively an accomplice to the assault of one of its employees? Fires the witness of the assault who alerted the law enforcement?

A complete break down in our society is well under way. Retail stores are going to go the way of the buggy whip.

Leftist ideas and we can all see the results.

Make sure that location knows why many will stop shopping there.

It might be largely because the location is in NY and they have proved themselves rather corrupt, the GM/District MGR of Big Lots *might* have gotten a call from Hochul or the like and heard “or else” kind of thing.

Am not defending Big Lots one bit, however in other parts of the country the perp might be smacked to the pavement by locals and held on the ground until the cops arrived and have a totally different outcome.

Finally a company I can boycott. There is on in a town a few hours away I shop at because they have an aisle of Eastern European food. I stock up when I visit family. Adios Big Lots.

NY State: Another big win for the criminal vs the law-abiding citizen.
The criminal is perfectly free, a family is runied.

"Guider, believing that he was doing the right thing, followed the suspect from a distance while alerting 911 to his whereabouts ..."
