FUCK ALL SHOPLIFTERS!!
People who defend shoplifting from stores. I had a minor debate with someone who was pridefully going on about how we should steal from stores to affect the profits of the CEO and “The Man”.
I had to inform them that stealing from stores won’t necessarily affect the payroll of the corporation. It will only harm the stores and the employees inside. Because each and every store is operating on a budget of their own and what they sell determines said budget.
So if groups of people decided to steal from that store, sapping up the budget and hurting sales, then it’s going to hurt the pay of the people working there. Making shoplifters look both like an asshole and a dumbass in one.
“Well, you did something bad, so you deserve whatever happens to you.”
No, that’s not how morality works, and it’s not even how law works either. The smallest rule-breaking doesn’t make you an outlaw with no rights.
I want to add to this: “Well, if he didn’t want shot, he shouldn’t have been running from the cops!”
Maybe not, but he’s innocent until proven guilty by a jury of his peers, and even if he is found guilty, his punishment will be decided by a judge.
Not some Clint Eastwood wanna be who doesn’t like being told no.
How exactly are the cops supposed to get him to the judge if he’s trying to run away?
Yes. This is exactly what I was talking about.
I understand wanting to get “the bad guy”. But they aren’t fucking cowboys in the wild West. Their job is NOT TO EXECUTE PEOPLE. If the guy is running away, do some goddamn detective work and go find him. Lazy fucks are just getting out of having to work. If they’re REAL lucky they get a bonus paid vacation as a reward for murder.
Kinda hard to go before a judge when you’re dead.
If you don’t try to escape, you’ll be able to go before a judge alive.
That’s not how the Law works.
