I am a bit at a loss here.

Stores in California are being robbed on a daily basis, and in other states too.

Reports show security are not stopping the robberies??

In another story, two ladies, store employees, tried, and they got FIRED??

Is America going through a sort of mirror universe?

Where right is wrong, and wrong is right??

Sheik it’s all part of the plan to break our nation apart internally. Up is down. Right is wrong. Laws enforced against some but not against others. The gay agenda breaking the cultural norms and mores including the nuclear family. I don’t think it’s hard to understand at all frankly. So many here endorse it as well with their enthusiastic support of various of these elements while hiding behind their self-proclaimed virtue and denouncing anyone who says differently as being hateful and phobic of their various alphabet groups. What these members are really doing is spitting in the face of their own fathers, uncles, and grandfathers who fought for and often died for this country and its foundational values and principles. Pathetic and sad.

Either that or corporations have decided that they are better off absorbing the loss than litigating against damage claims. Quite possibly it is simply a business decision as opposed to a conspiracy theory.

Do you get tired of appearing bat shit crazy blue balls?

You sure do spend an awful lot of time thinking about gay folks, almost as much as Saeed spends thinking about Kamala.

. . . I feel for folks like you and Lane, it must have been a very traumatic day when you woke up and discovered that not everyone in the world looked like you, worshipped the same as you, had the same sexual preferences as you, thought the same as you, has the same priorities as you in life, etc. You must admit though with almost 8 billion people in the world and 350 million in the US, perhaps you were a bit naive to have even entertained the thought that they should . . . or that we would be better off if they did.

So many claims or conclusions, theories with no support basis except belief. Where does this crap come from? Wherever it came from, reality is practically useless as counter-point. This shit is long in development - dug in.

The Left eventually eats its own. You Lefties will be served up one day as well. Try not to wonder what happened when that day comes. Remember: you asked for this.

…nah, I didn’t ask for LGBQTF…whatever, but I did ask for and will support a society where anyone different isn’t persecuted, people can live their own lives within the law how they want to and without discrimination.

Your myopic view of the past included gay sex being illegal, black people using different doors or drinking fountains to non blacks, and occasionally getting strung up for being uppity, anyone homosexual being vilified as perverted and abhorrent.

Welcome to a more tolerant inclusive society.

Oh and people robbing stuff from stores need prosecuting. While I was over there a few years ago I was going through the check out at a store and the store clerk didn’t even check my signature. When I asked why she said it was for staff safety. Apparently they didn’t want to risk a confrontation with some crazy nut who’s carrying. Probably why they don’t challenge someone walking out with a new TV.

I wouldn’t expect to be able to walk out of the store with shit I didn’t pay for here… just sayin …

I agree with the first part of your post.

But, we are NOT in a more tolerant society right now.

In fact, we are going the other way, by being INTOLERANT!

I can only speak for what happens here Saeed, and that is what I am referring to. I isn’t perfect, but it’s better than it was 30 years ago.

And where are you located? And what is better now than in 1993?

Asked for what? Your threats, or hostility at the least.

I didn't ask for you or threats or sick predictions any more or less than I asked for queers, lesbians and such or perverts or liars or people who can't mind their own business, or people who think it is their business to force others.

Does Home Depot have a no chase policy?
Stephen Holmes with Home Depot's corporate office says, "No merchandise or other asset is worth risking the life of our associates or customers, which is why we have a strict policy against pursuing a shoplifter in a manner that creates a safety risk for anyone, and that includes chasing shoplifters across the parking lot. In this case, store cameras clearly showed that the associates violated the policy after the struggle between the asset protection associate and the shoplifting suspect had ended. We strictly enforce this policy due to serious accidents that have occurred in the past, but we always review and consider any mitigating circumstances to ensure we're treating our associates fairly." ...Jan 13, 2012

Yep.

We got our answers.

Bloody lawyers again!

I am certain if anyone attempted this of thing here they would wish the police get them before the public!

Free for all, and make sure they remember it fir the rest of their lives.

IF they are still alive!

And no one from the public would ever see a courtroom!

Out in the sticks, south UK.

What's better? Almost everything...

The nutters in N Ireland aren't blowing each other, and us, up.
Median income is 50% higher.
Number of people in absolute poverty has fallen by 2/3rds.
Less you people affected by drugs/alcohol and no smoking in pubs/restaurants.
Better education standards and higher numbers attending further education.
Much more tolerant society, civil partnerships now recognised. Gay marriage is legal.
In 1990 60% of people thought same sex relationships were wrong, now only 15% do, the other 85% don't care.
Reduction in racism. Better educated folks are less likely to hold racist views.
Many more women in higher positions in industry, much less of a gender pay gap.
Reduction in overall and violent crime.
Life expectancy 5+ years higher
I could go on ...

Our roads are worse than before though, bloody pot holes everywhere...

Here's some tabloidal explination:

https://www.the-sun.com/news/7...ng-shoplifters-news/

“The reason, I guess - what I’ve heard - and I’m not sure if it’s really true. Is that Walmart got tired of paying everybody’s medical bill.”

She said that if an employee were to tackle a would-be thief for stealing and ended up injuring them, Walmart would have to foot their medical bills.

================================================

Anyway, Saeed, I'm sure some would approve of gang vigilantism.

That's what the Right is mostly about these days.

If one can believe Fox News, here's something:

The Walmart nearest eher I usually park for 2 or three days a month. ( Renton, Washington ) even had it's pocket t shirts locked up a few months ago. Never liked the store but it used to be convenient.

I question the premise. I see nothing that supports Saeed's statement that stores are being robbed every day and nothing is being done to prevent it. I read the policies Saeed posted. None of them say anything about letting shoplifters go as store policy. They say they don't want employees chasing shoplifters through the parking lot. I could offer a lot of reasons why that is a good policy.

I see security video all the time that shows shoplifters being confronted and detained by store security personnel.

The idea that anybody can just walk into a store in the US on a regular basis and walk out with whatever they want without paying for it is bullshit.

I also question the idea that stores are paying medical expenses or damages to shoplifters who get hurt by store employees while fighting with those employees. It may happen but it doesn't happen often.

Well, there seems to be enough of this stuff going on that one is wise to take personal precautions.

The retailers can take care of themselves as they see fit, or not. I have no say or stake in it.
