The Penitent ThiefA Boy who had been taught by his Mother to steal grew to be a man and was a professional public official. One day he was taken in the act and condemned to die. While going to the place of execution he passed his Mother and said to her:
“Behold your work! If you had not taught me to steal, I should not have come to this.”
“Indeed!” said the Mother. “And who, pray, taught you to be detected?”
— Ambrose Bierce, Aesopus Emendatus.
Doesn’t surprise me in the least, I would expect no less.
Private property; owner’s right bar a thief from entering the property again.
Saw basically the same thing a few years ago in a grocery store. Hispanic couple with several children took about 5 carts of groceries out to the old Chevy van without even bothering to bag them. Deputy and store manager simply walked up to them while they were unloading the fourth cart. I heard one father telling the store manager “I didn’t think you would come after us, and arrest us in front of the children”. The stolen items were rung up at over $375.00 and photographed.
This is an angry woman. She is a danger to her children. Will she play the race card?
I remember watching a Miami riot on TV. Think it was the ‘68 riot.
TV cameras rolling, a woman drives up to a dept. store called Grandway.
She lets her 3 kids out of the car and they join the rest of the looters.
Work? Oh! You must mean sitting on her can counting the things she stole while the welfare check comes?
ahahahahahaha.... choke, gasp.. splutter... hahaha....
You meant fatherS, right?
If only she could be banned from motherhood!
I only see you at walmart these days......... ;^)
but saying so is racist.
“could she legally be kept out of a store which is open to the public? Just a thought.”
Actually, yes. The public is invited onto PRIVATE property, and the owner of that property could bar anyone they want. Or at least that is the way it works in a free country.
I haven’t been in WM in more than a month :)
“...while a male companion accompanying her bolted out the door...”
D@mn, Girlfriend! Those men can never take the heat, can they? LOL!
Me too. There’s always someone standing just a few feet away. They (& the cameras) never miss a thing. Especially when I once double rang an item. Something I’m always on their case about. LOL.
Sorry about the blackberry. Probably a hassle to replace. When the green light’s off the employees usually aren’t around the checkout.
***I’ll bet her husband and the father of the three children is livid!***
Should read...
“I’ll bet her husband and the father(S) of the three children is(are) livid!
LOL! You may start a new trend. “The LOL Criminals”.
Well, great! Everyone beat me to it.
Note to self... Read all posts before commenting.
I guess I should have put a sarcasm tag on my comment, because what you both say makes absolute sense.
I only mentioned it because it only happened last week and my husband was livid. Not because of the hassle of replacing the blackberry, there was no hassle - he works for IBM - he called and he had one overnighted to him. no he was livid with the hassle of having to do the rest of his work for the day either over the phone or on his laptop, both of which are a hassle when on a customer’s site.
