Is it really worth it shooting someone who’s just shoplifting? I can see gun use in self-defence, and even then, just complying with the robber is probably the best option.
Remember the smoke shop guy who stabbed an underage shoplifter multiple times in the back and then got on reddit and said it was like counterstrike?

And every comment was like “you fucking moron stop posting and lawyer up”
Especially as just an employee of a large corporation. Not like his money is affected by the shoplifting. Dude probably was just itching to actually shoot someone.
Knew a guy in my retail days who would chase shoplifters out the door, one time did a flying double leg kick, thing, and dropped a guy (not permanently injured) to the ground.
He almost lost his job, and as a witness I got to make a statement (no charges filed, ultimately for the retail guy) but corporate put a quick stop to that behaviour.
It was better than minimum wage, but not much. No benefits. I still don’t understand the thought on it. Risk your life for little better than minimum wage? For a massive global company? Fuck that.
Was held up at gunpoint once. Popped the register open and stepped back. He needs a couple hundred bucks that bad he can have it, I’m not dying for that shit.
Put this dude’s face on every store wall.
The right thing to dealing with theft when you work at a minimum wage job is nothing. You aren’t paid to stop theft. Nor do you have the training.
And here’s proof. GameStop is going to back away and let this guy go to jail. They don’t care about the merch he “protected”.
Dude went to jail with murder charges over a few hundred dollars.
… taken into custody on Wednesday, one day after an unidentified man stole an unspecified piece of merchandise …
It sounds like the cops did a good job here. Initially, he wasn’t arrested. He was arrested the next day, after the cops investigated. He’d apparently lied to the cops about what happened (maybe said the victim had a weapon), and the cops didn’t just take his word for it and not try to corroborate with other evidence.
How much pent up rage and anger does it take in order to shoot someone for stealing from your corporate employer?
The employee wasn’t in any kind of danger. He just wanted to shoot someone under what he thought were justifiable conditions.
Had to remove a comment. Please remember the rules on sidebar, most importantly:
- be empathic: empathy is more rebellious than a middle finger;
You can always use the pinned post Why a(nother) shoplifting community to talk about why you think stealing is wrong etc.
