..maybe it was set up and posted on the internet to deter people from stealing from that shop..?..

if it is then the shop keeper is a good m8 letting himself get slapped into next Wednesday :laugh:

I don't know, I wouldn't want to play the part of the shoplifter if so

...then surely he wouldn't be some sort of 'protection' type person because he pulled him in front of the CCTV to hit him and then who posted the vid...now that it is something being talked about then surely the shopkeeper will be charged by the police anyway...

the problem is that the next time the shoplifter goes to take stuff from a shop he will go armed with a knife, and someone will get seriously hurt.

Police cant be bothered with that stuff so the best thing is to report it to the police, get a crime number, claim the insurance and move on

..yeah that worries me with this as well, that he may have well just posted the vid as a 'challenge' to any thief/thieves who know the shop...and that's also the thing with deciding 'your own law'....

Well this is gross

I agree with your post Joey.

What the shoplifter did was of course wrong, but imo the slapping from the shopowner/shop worker was way worse, the fact that he carried on after the first slap was very disturbing to watch and some of the threats he was making, he seemed to have his own issues.

No actually, he is just a guy. Being a complete lawbreaking ****, but just a guy nonetheless.

This is exactly what I hate about this country. Someone commits a crime, they're thrown into the criminal category, instantly dehumanized and resented without a care in the world about what might have driven that person to act in such a way, and the public seem to have this seething desire for punishment. It's all so emotive and illogical.

Vigilante justice can't beat it eh? What's the point of having a justice system for an ordered society if folk are meting out their own punishment?

the justice system is useless to deal with shoplifting, ask any store owner

That's no justification, anyone could say that about any crime it's not an excuse to take the law into your own hands, what kind of civilised society advocates that?
Give them the option to pay or remove the goods and ban them if you don't wish to involve the police would be my response.

Such a tough guy eh? LMFAO Justice is meted out by your hand eh? But I bet its not. :joker:

I agree with this completely.

For the 'respect the law' crew of the politics side of TiBB the hypocrisy is overwhelming...

Its not about me Girth its about this store owner and his quick method of persuading a criminal not to shoplift, which i am pretty sure worked.

How Nice

He should leave it to the authorities

It looks like he has, got nowhere and decided to deal with it himself

Maybe he does not have time for that


This should be shown in Schools
Never Shop Lift


Feel The Force

And if there are any consequences then I will have no sympathy.

IT should be shown in a boxing class on how to hit effectively from close range.

But its One sided
the Red Face Punk
is not hitting back.

The guy never misses. Not once. And he hits him flush every single time. HE doesnt glance him with any of the slaps. That guys done that before. No doubt in my mind. Have to say though the shoplifter didnt go down and the store owner definitely sucker punched him with the first one.

I'd actually find it funny if the shoplifter had friends who would pay this store owner a visit with a few pieces of pipe and a couple of baseball bats he needs to learn that he cant slap people about like that.

And as for 'I'll personally slap you about'. That needless movie line needs to be fed back to him at some point in the future. Lets see how he does when theres four of them with baseball bats. I wonder if he'll stand in front of the camera again.

So much to dislike about that clip.

a shoplifter with a crew?

:joker:


Somehow I dont think so.
