So satisfying to watch. I’m glad they went against the corporate policy and didn’t let him get away with it.

So you admit that the corporation doesn’t care, and you’re just a bloodthirsty bootlicker? Pretty embarrassing admission there.

I-… Wait, what? Are you under the assumption I work for 7/11?

Do you have reading comprehension problems or something? You knew that corporate policies generally prohibit doing violence to shoplifters, because that’s fucking psycho shit. Yet because you’re a bloodthirsty, bootlicking fascist you decided to celebrate their depraved act anyway. You’re sick.

That dude looks homeless, he stole some food from a corporation, so he deserves his ass beat?? I think not.

Did you watch the same video as everyone else? He is clearly stealing cigarettes by the armful with a T-shirt over his head to try and hide his face.

Doesn’t warrant getting his ass kicked. If I saw him doing it I wouldn’t even stop him. The reason 7/11 makes you not go after them is because the loss they face for a theft is negligible and they don’t want to deal with the liability. Dude smokes the cigs? Cool he got cigs. Still negligible losses for 7/11. Dude cells the cigs? Cool, now he has money to live, still negligible losses for 7/11, still doesn’t warrant him getting his ass kicked.

Stealing from corporations who hoard wealth isn’t stealing. It’s taking back what’s ours.

Cigarettes is a tough sell. If you see anyone stealing baby food, you didn’t see anything. Same for diapers, soap, water, etc. I will never snitch on a mf tryna get by. This dude is tryna get cigarettes. Lmao

Violence to protect the property of a corporation is gross.

In the last 5 years, I’ve lost my pharmacy, 2 grocery stores and a general store because scumbags steal so much the stores shut down. I now don’t have anything within 5 miles

It’s possible I should have more sympathy, but I don’t.

Blame your city and state for allowing people to wallow in poverty. If desperation wasn’t common, people mostly wouldn’t take the risk.

Or you can fantasize about hurting other people. One of these options is sane.

  • those stores left because people stole
  • people stole beautiful they were poor
  • they’re poor because the use designed certain parts of the country to be poor during segregation and they’ve never really recovered
  • the US then slowly took away safety nets for those who have less, ESPECIALLY minorities.
  • because of those same race reasons and because of the lobbyists from the motor transportation market which politicians allowed to become more involved in govt to make themselves more money, our cities are not walkable, and public transportation is not readily available

So most people steal because they can’t get a job, they can’t pay for anything, and they can’t even travel to find a job, and they can’t leave the area they’re in, even to steal in other places.

So in no way is it their fault, and the answer is more ways to get food, shelter, and money in the US, not beat people to tears.

While I agree with your position that this is a result of all the bad policies of the past I think you are missing the other side of the equation where people who live in crime ridden areas and don’t steal from stores or their neighbors lose food access and access to items they need to live when stores pull out of the worst areas. People steal in all areas not just ‘poor’ areas but poor areas are hit the hardest when it is no longer possible to buy food within 5 - 10 miles or to go to a shopping center and buy clothes or whatever else you need to function in society.

I live in one of the top 5 “worst” cities in the country and I am tired of having my stuff stolen. In the last month I have had a car stolen, a bicycle stolen, and several people climb over my 6’ fence in the middle of the night to see what they can steal from my yard. This is just in the last month. The last 10 years have been an ongoing cycle of thefts, murders, muggings, and assaults. I don’t know where you’re from or what your situation is but I hope it is someplace better where you don’t have to worry about these things and it’s a place where you can go to the store and not worry about someone robbing the store while you are in it.

Also that guy didn’t steal food. He tried to steal a 30 gallon trash can full of cigarettes that he filled up by walking behind the counter and emptied out the display rack.

I feel like you have an idealistic outlook on people in general. I used to also and still do to a point but at some point you have to acknowledge the fact that there are times and people that do not deserve to be shared in that outlook.

Eh, if you’re threatening people with violence while carrying weapons AND being a thieving dick, I don’t mind this too much.

And that’s given that the store is a huge corporation, which I don’t know if it even is.
