It was only a couple of slaps, he probably could have done worse.

I hope the shoplifter got a few friends and paid another visit to this twat. People need to learn to keep their hands to themselves.

Doesn't mean anything. Just because he 'could have done more' doesn't excuse it.

and another point stealing is still illegal and it's not like it takes the whole police team to deal with a shoplifter.

Tell that to the shoplifters

[YourLAEx]

If anyone broke into my shop (if I owned a shop) they would get a lot more than a slap

We have a very sophisticated judicial system to deal lwtih shoplifters but this fool thinks he can slap people around eh?. Nah not for me I hope they came back with a few baseball bats and showed this twat that justice works both ways.

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.

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.

So you want to, punish someone who gave someone that tried to steal money from their family a slap, by wishing said thief, went back to the store in question, to cause more damage, with weapons? I mean, a slap doesn't equate to a gang assault, especially when the slap was given to someone trying to steal from a persons business, that's kind of messed up.

{Maybe a few molotovs and torch the place.

Thats what happens when you raise your hand to someone where I come from.

[Ninastar]

as much as I think thieving twats should get what they deserve, I did find this uncomfortable to watch... but having said that, I'd probably do the same if I found someone stealing from my shop that I worked hard to look after

Or maybe the store owner calls the police and let them handle it.

I'm making the point that youdont raise your hand to some cuz you dont know who that person is or who they night know. This twat need to learn this lesson before he slaps somone and regrets it,

more common sense from Liam

If someone broke into your house and tried to steal something you've worked hard for, would you sit in a corner, let it happen and wait until they had left to phone the police? because i wouldn't, i'd try to stop them.

Police action or prison doesn't teach people a lesson, we're so soft in this country, shoplifting might not be the most series crime in the world, but it's one of the most common and most cost worthy to businesses and families, just imagine how many times someone has stolen from that guys shop, or attempted it, no he shouldn't have slapped him, but did the guy deserve it for so obnoxiously trying to knock someone of a portion of their living? yes, he probably should have stopped after the first slap, but I'm not going to call him all the names under the sun for reacting angrily to a thief and I make no apologies for having that opinion.

Carry on like that and you'll be taught a lesson that the police are not the only people with weapons

Again, you're suggesting teaching someone a lesson with weapons and extreme violence, for slapping someone who was trying to steal from their shop, that does not make sense

'Stop being a thug or we'll knock your teeth out with a bat and destroy your shop' a good argument does not make

[GiRTh]

My point in this thread is that this kind of behavior may cause the store owner more problem than he ever imagined. HE should stick to the authority cuz Violence only leads to more violence and not everyone has the stomach for it.

[Liam-]

Whereas a thief should be dealt with via a slap on the wrist and a telling off not to do it again?
