Take that up with your local MP. There is always an alternative to violence.

OK but my local shop has been stuck up a few times and they like to get aggressive with shoplifters too. Doesnt seem to have deterred them does it.

this I agree on, I would let the police deal with it no point wasting your energy slapping them and looking worse(the shopkeeper made me feel sick slapping him, he came across the worst and scum) or just take the things back and send him out without hurting him.

There's a difference between 'misbehaving' and practically stealing food out of a families mouth

GiRTh 13-06-2015 06:54 PM

OK let me rephrase the question seeing as some of you dont want to answer it - Do you slap people around when you see them 'breaking the law' ? And please provide proof.

Liam- 13-06-2015 06:55 PM

That's much better :hee:

No I personally don't, but i don't begrudge other people doing it if it involves them.

Why not? And why is it ok for someone else to do it but you choose not to?

Liam- 13-06-2015 06:58 PM

I'm not a violent person, that doesn't mean i can't appreciate when someone else needs a slap and some people just do.

armand.kay 13-06-2015 07:00 PM

Imagine how much money the owner looses from vermin like him coming in all the time and nicking stuff he's probably sick off it. Its not even like the guy stole one chocolate bar, he clearly had the bag filled with stuff.
He then had the nerve to wait and ask for his bag back ugh. :bored:

Yes it's the police's job to solve stuff like this, but it's also no secret that our police are often massively overstretched and that its not going to be high up on their list of priorities. Would probably never get thoroughly looked into. The guy did go overboard but then it was an assault on his livelihood - like he alludes to it's not a Tesco or a Sainsburys where they could afford a few stolen items. I do feel sorry for the shoplifter though, but if we can sympathise with him surely we can also sympathise with the guy who was being robbed which is probably a very real threat to his business every day

Ammi 13-06-2015 07:03 PM

...this seems slightly 'set up' to me..he was obscured from the CCTV camera behind a shelf and he pulled the guy to the front of the shop where it was on CCTV and then posted it to go viral..?...it wasn't self defence/I thought that it's the police who decide whether to charge, not necessarily someone else pressing charges...?...

You guys do realise, that they are literally paid to sort out things like this.. it's like saying you'll put a fire out by spitting on it because you don't want to call the firemen.

I agree.
It is what the Police are for, we keep getting told that crime is dropping in the UK, if more shopkeepers did things like this then even more crime would not be possibly made known, despite it happening.

Although from what I see in some shops and Stores,sometimes I wonder who is really robbing who,a shoplifter or the Shop/Store robbing the customer sometimes.

I don't know because he came across more like a gangland criminal than a shop keeper, he was probably just visiting the shop to pick up his protection money :hee:

Agree with that. The store keeper knew what to do he slapped him very hard with both hands. That guys done that before he of all people should know what might happen if he raised his hand to the wrong person.

Lmao, the shop keeper is a mobster now? lord have mercy :joker:

Who said that? Surely you can tell if someone can handle them self in a fight and I reckon that store keeper definitely can. No one is saying anything else.
