Shoplifter strangled to death by clerk for stealing...crayons?

[toys2cool]

Some keep bringing up the dollar amount of the goods as if it means something. Not to me it doesn't...where's that "line" supposed to be drawn
anyway? Stealing is stealing.

ok so stealing $1 should be punished the same way as robbing a bank? come on now

"Some keep bringing up the guys' exact job description as if it means
something. Not to me it doesn't...the guy works in the store and apparently
was trying to protect the store's interests."

ok so if someone walks in to rob a bank, the teller should try and stop him the same way the security guard would right? Didn't think so

The guy wasn't assigning a punishment...he was acting in the store in the
heat of the moment.....and it was an ACCIDENT brought on by a struggling
thief that brought about the sad result.

Yes. IMO, if the security guard isn't available and someone else
makes a judgement call to help the store out...it may be an issue of sorts
(and will be sorted out in a courtroom)...but it makes perfect sense to me
regardless.

Keep posting t2, hector...I won't whine about it...seems like you have
just as much interest in this debate as me.

ok I'd beat his *** for sure, but not kill him

tell that to the people who get paid $15 an hour at a bank, if I'm a teller and someone pulls out a gun and tells me to hand over the money, I'd give him everything and offer him everything in the safe...I'm not gonna risk getting killed over money that's not mine or something that's not my job

If it would've been the other way around everyone would be calling the guy a moron for going after a shoplifter in the first place

they would be saying, Man could you believe the idiot wasted his life going after a guy for $6 worth of ****,

[toys2cool]

it's all good, I like seeing how different a lot of us think

[Hector]

Ok, I'll be serious for just this once.

Did the shoplifter deserved to be choked to death by the clerk? No.

Am I saddened for the shoplifter? No.

Does the clerk deserve some sort of punishment? Yes.

What kind and how long? Probation...some community service or something...and perhaps some monetary compensation to the shoplifter's family.

There...I said my peace...now I'm off to bed.

I'll buy THAT for a dollar as well.

And, t2cool, if you like what Hector said, well, just find something good
in what I'm saying in that I agree with Hector's post too.

sounds good to me man , Okay I think we're done here

because he's paid to ring people up not be a security guard

Exactly. My girlfriend's purse is another matter, the clerk wasn't the owner of that toothpaste and crayons

Reasons to get into a physical altercation :

1 - life or death = it's you or them
2 - in defense of your person, a loved one, relative or friend
3- it's your job - police, security officer, military service , boxer,mma etc.

All else is macho b.s. - material objects can be replaced.

Summed it up nicely

[Meule]

This thread has gone on real long....and I thought I must've addressed
everything I just said in this post already earlier in the thread,
but I thought I'd jump right back in and "catch up".

If you sai everything you wanted to say, why keep posting?
But hey, this is a good debate. As long as people don't start insulting each other this thread go on for another 20 pages for all I care

Hit him the wrong way and he's dead as well
