Drug-Addict Shoplifter Kicked to Death by Staff
A 40-year-old drug addict who allegedly stole beer and dog food from an Amsterdam supermarket was chased from the store and was kicked to death by at least four staff.
Anna Roos was chased from the Dirk van der Broek store by employees and died later of internal bleeding and injuries sustained during a beating, according to a police statement.
Slightly-built Roos was knocked to the ground where she was kicked and punched by a group of people, including four young employees and an unknown number of bystanders, the statement said.
Police said they were questioning six people over the killing.
It was the second confrontation in three months in Amsterdam between alleged thieves and supermarket staff.
In August, two workers of the Albert Heijn supermarket chain chased a knife-wielding man who tried to hold up a store and wrestled him to the ground. He was also beaten by the employees.
The two were prosecuted for excessive violence and fined £1,200 by an Amsterdam judge.
Dutch Prince Bernhard, the father of Queen Beatrix, paid the fine because he thought the men were unfairly punished after doing a good deed.
The latest incident sparked angry reactions from local residents who accused Bernhard of promoting violence. In an official statement from the Royal House, Bernhard rejected the claim and said womans killing could not be compared with the earlier incident.

Once again the oppressed 'criminal' becomes the innocent victim.The criminal here IS the victim.
Shoplifting is not a capital offense.

"Once again the oppressed 'criminal' becomes the innocent victim."
Hence the gradual, but inexorable rise, in private justice.

They all probably deplore the barbaric death penalty in the United States.

When your society legitimizes theft in the name of charity then those who have will inevitably resort to force to preserve what they have.
The netherlands needs a social wayback machine.

True, this is simply the result of societal decay in the netherlands. The criminal cares not that he steals and the shopkeeper cares not if he injures the criminal to stop them.
All they need to do is give up their kooky ideas on gov't socialism.
