    While I don’t support shoplifting, it’s literally not inconveniencing anyone involved here. Worst-case, security calls the police, and they claim losses from insurance.

    That man will probably press charges, and get some money he probably needs, assuming he’s okay. Those involved will almost certainly lose their jobs, and will probably end up in the position that this other person was in - unemployable.

    I really don’t get what their end goal was here, other than to beat the shit out of someone.

      Everyone who steals is Robin Hood and anyone who isn’t ok with that is Guy of Gisbourne and therefore a complete shit.

            You don’t have a point you just engaging and “I’m 14 and this is deep” level commentary.

            All situations are nuanced you can’t just sign on with blanket philosophies, it doesn’t work

                If you’re implying that there is some element here that justifies dragging the guy out back and beating him senseless after he was caught, by all means, elaborate

                    That’s your problem though. Nobody can tell what point you were trying to make because it was so incoherent, hence my original comment

                Have you tried not being insufferable? I highly recommend working on your ability to communicate with others so people don’t think you’re just trying to be a (usually fake) know-it-all that doesn’t actually know anything but really just wants attention

        You feel that way about all the people who’ve stolen crypto as well? Wage theft? What about Sam Bankman-Fried?

      I don’t get this “claim losses from insurance” line. I didn’t think they even do that. The just understand there is going to be a level of shrink. What insurer would insure theft at a store?

      probably just this, taking out their frustrations on someone who was already marginalized. some people have no problem with punching down.

      NOW, if there was any kind of policy that led to this - such as punishing employees for losses, punishing the entire store, etc., sains should be held partially culpable. But most modern institutions would prefer to keep their employees away from fisticuffs.
