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

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?

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.

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.

But you are the one also saying how much the shopowner (or whoever it is) needs a beating and that you'd like to see a group of people come for him with baseball bats how is that any less 'tough guy' and 'meting out justice with your own hands'

HE does need some kind of repercussion to show he cant behave kike that. I also mentioned that violence leads to more violence. Thats what I was hinting at and in this case I thinlk it would be justificed

I dont start threads and post vids of people acting like badasses then praise them. So no not at all the same.

Fighting violence with even worse violence is apparently the best answer

How Nice

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.

‘I'll slap the ******* out of your face’: Shocking video of slap attack on suspected shoplifter in east London leads to arrest

A man has been arrested after a shocking video of a supermarket worker launching an astonishing attack on a suspected shoplifter went viral.

The video appears to show a staff member at a branch of Costcutter in east London repeatedly slapping the man in the head while hurling abuse at him, after accusing him of stuffing goods into his bag.

The footage, apparently filmed on a mobile phone, shows the attacker casually taking the suspected thief aside and asking him to open his bag - before suddenly striking him out of nowhere.

He lands 11 blows as the startled man stumbles around the shop - while warning him the store is “not a ********** ordinary shop” like Sainsbury's or Tesco.

“You ever steal again I'll slap the ******* out of your face,” he says before adding: “I will ******* you up personally, you understand?”

The video was posted on Friday and watched thousands of times before the original footage was deleted from YouTube.

Claims have since surfaced that the victim was a homeless pensioner, though they have not been verified.

A still from the video shows the man on the left being hit (Picture: YouTube) Police announced today that they were alerted to the video, filmed in Newham, on Saturday and have since arrested a man in his 20s on suspicion of common assault.

Officers added that no allegation of assault has been made.

Costcutter condemned the attack and said it had immediately referred the matter to police.

It claimed the man was not in fact an employee but a relative of the store owner.

Writing on Facebook, the convenience store company said: “We are shocked by the events shown in this video.

“Having spoken with the store owner, he has told us that he is equally appalled and explained that one of his relatives who was not an employee took matters into his own hands when the owner was absent.

“While it is not possible for the shopkeeper to take any direct action with regards the person shown in the video, we immediately contacted the police to ask them to investigate this incident further.”

Brilliant. Justice works both ways for sure.

Good on Costcutters to condemn the attack. So it wasnt the guys own shop at all. He definitely deserves a beatin now.

...see, what made me feel uneasy as well is that it wasn't just that he did it...(and apparently wasn't even the shop owner..)..it was posting the vid almost as if he was pleased with himself and 'bragging' about it which isn't really 'protecting livelihood'....so makes the whole thing really even more disturbing....

So glad the guy doing the attacking is being punished.
