I am going to bet he does not shoplift in there again, punk.

No LT, that is harassment and gross.

Theres a reason we have courts and fair trials, you can't take it upon yourself to go and hit and threaten your customers.. not acceptable at all. Can't believe you are supporting this man. It may also be worth thinking why he needed to steal food in the first place.

It may be worth you thinking how much stock small shops like that lose every year to petty thieves. But no, you assume that in a country where people are paid benefits we have to condone people stealing? I don't think so.

I didn't say thieving was okay. I was making the point that if the scenario mentioned was the case then this whole harassment and hitting thing would be even more unjustified. My main point was the bit you ignored, by the way.

I absolutely don't agree with shoplifting, neither do I agree with the shopowner thinking he has the right to slap someone around as he did. I hope the guy went to the cops, although I suppose he didn't.

ignore what i said, my phone is dodgy

[Crimson Dynamo]

he got what he deserved

better that than calling the cops and wasting their time

[smudgie]

Ouch!

sometimes a quick sharp shock does the trick.
Saves wasting police time and court costs.
My main worry is if it goes too far.

'saves wasting police time'

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 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.

[Samuel.]

Yeahhh I can't support this either

[Liam-]

I suppose dealing with it yourself like that saves the police some time to deal with other issues?

Exactly.
It also saves him getting a police record, so win win.

A police record which is supposed to track crimes for public safety...

[Cherie]

Even though he was shoplifting, he could do the shop guy for assault, was there any need for repeatedly belting him

[Amy Jade]

I find that disturbing and the fact there was a little girl there while the shop keeper screams, swears and attacks a person is awful.

It's not a million miles away from those places where people are murdered for being caught stealing, what's the point in the police if this is allowed?

[Crimson Dynamo]

The guy has no time to waste getting the cops, he runs a business and he knows the cops cant do owt with low lever crime like this

[JoshBB]

The people on here worry me sometimes.

Why because they have differing opinions to you?

What would the police do? pick the guy up, give him a slap on the wrist and let him free to go and do it again probably, this guy gave him an actual slap and more than likely deterred him from doing that again, or at least, stopped him doing it in his shop.

No because they're literally justifying a guy being verbally and physically harassed.
