Wow! The guy who was shoplifting could have conceivably filed assault charges. The other customer is probably lucky he didn’t.

The other problem is I doubt the shoplifter learned a lesson. He will just become an even angrier thug. He and his friends will probably come back and trash the store.

Yeah, that’s assault, especially the second hit.

If it’s real, there could well be a prosecution.

Sure. Blame the victims. Are you sure FreeRepublic is your place? You are a bit new here, however your posts send up flags.

Just wondering, it’s not actually shoplifting until you walk out the door is it? The potential thief could have claimed he put the goods in the bag because it was easier to carry while he continued to “shop”. That being said, way to go!

The shoplifter will probably start doing Knockout Games with his buddies.
