My son worked for Gap, and they were not allowed to stop shoplifters.

Good to know. Now I know how to bankrupt a liberal business. Just post this on the BET network, some rap music sites, and a few black thug Facebook pages and sit back and watch it go down in flames.

Once word really gets out that there will be no call to the police or prosecution “shoplifting” will quickly turn into “looting”.

The rates of the insurance that these big companies pay to cover losses will increase. The companies will pass those increases along to consumers in the form of higher prices.

But since shoplifting is permitted, who would actually PAY for something? Let alone something thats now marked up in price to cover the costs associated with losses due to shoplifting?

I think I’ve boiled that down to a simplistic enough level that this moron could actually understand ...

I worked for a large bank and we were trained to hand over money slowly and steadily if faced with a perp. with a gun.

Rationale....money can be replaced, people cannot.

The Walmarts around here aren’t allowed to stop shoplifters, either. Never mind that it’s us honest customers who have to pay for those stolen goods.
