Store clerks have legal options when someone shoplifts. Teaming up to brutally beat the thief isn’t one of them. No wonder two 7-11 clerks in Stockton who battered a would-be shoplifter with a wooden rod are being investigated by police, as reported on TV news. Although brazen stealing is frustrating, costly and dangerous to store employees, confronting it with violence that far exceeds self-defense is not the answer.

The thief told the clerks to back off as he had a gun. At that time any type of force including deadly would be appropriate.

No wonder two 7-11 clerks in Stockton who battered a would-be shoplifter with a wooden rod are being investigated by police, Because OF COURSE the police are investigating the victims of the crime.

Are the “editors” at the Modesto Bee unaware of the nation-wide crime wave which is sweeping over American cities?

Should have beat the POS to death then been given keys to the city.

It is the answer. It totally is.
Democrat socialists and RINOs running cities and court systems are not the answer.

Given the current state of American legal system, local Committees of Vigilance could be warranted.

He said he had a gun
I was in fear for my life
He was still moving
I did not have a gun
He was still a threat

Effing Modesto Bee.
We need *more* of that sort of response to thieves, not less. We all heard how cocky the thief was before he justifiably got his ass beaten.
More of this. Lots more. Then you’ll see significantly less of this brazen shoplifting.

I disagree - shoplifters need a good butt whippin’. Especially ones that blatantly flaunt their act, as if nobody will stop them. They gave him one.

Toward the end, the Sikh should have used the stick less like a bat and more like a bayonet.

Nope, nope and more nope.
It’s the ONLY language these ferals understand.
They have absolutely NO respect for law and order, other peoples’ property, privacy, etc.
What they should have done was beat his nuts in to a bloody pulp so that every time it takes a leak, it remembers....
