Thankfully sharia law is often applied within certain communities, although they usually break both wrists with a club hammer.

They should re-introduce them large security cameras from the 80’s that looked like the Interrogation Droids from Star Wars.
That was a big enough deterrent for me as a kid!

Where does it end? Our local Morrisons has a cardboard policeman by the entrance so it doesn't happen there...

"more info is coming out..." it's all on CCTV.
Yes the woman came to request an exchange/return. Shop said no as there was nothing faulty which is their legal right. She then just started taking stuff on the shelves she thought she had the right to take and to walk out. This is theft. No ifs or buts. It's theft (shoplifting).
He then spent a while trying to stop her leaving by standing in between her and the exit door and pushing her back in when she tried to push past him.
She hit him repeatedly over and over including with an object.
After a long time of this he then restrained her clearly using reasonable force prior to the Police arriving.
She then managed to smash him around the head with a shopping basket at which point he momentarily put his hands around her neck from behind and held onto her (not strangling her) and then after a couple of seconds returned to restraining her arms at which point she stopped hitting him with the basket.
Then the Police turned up.
She is scum. He is protecting his business which is his legal right. He restrained her which was his legal right.
Whether that 2 seconds of contact with her neck was unlawful or reasonable force is a question for the justice system to decide. I would suggest that having been repeatedly hit and then hit around the head with a shopping basket that he would be found not guilty of assault as he'd not caused any injury and the increased force caused no injury and stopped her hitting him.
I have zero sympathy for her. She is a violent thief.

What happened next?
He got a lollipop and double dividend stamps?
Not quite. Far from admitting the error of his ways he tried to shove past the woman. Even when challenged by men including me he threw all the stuff out the main entrance door with a view to retrieving it. Basically the staff member said the police never come and that was that. Could see him and his sewer rat mates lurking round the corner after probably waiting for another chance. Help yourself at the Co-op. Very sad. The front of these people to not give a shit even when caught red handed.

Some people will always try and chance there arm if they think they can get away with something for nothing & if they get away with it once will continue to do so and others watching on will then be likely do the same leading to total lawlessness.
I feel sorry for those whose job it is to challenge this behaviour as very often they are on minimum wage and a hiding to nothing
as soon as they become involved in any kind of confrontation someone decides to start filming and it ends up on social media with the footage edited to make them look heavy handed or aggressive when the likelihood is they are mearlly trying to restrain the perpetrator who has kicked off.
25 years ago if there was an in incident or indeed an accident people would generally try and help out and maybe call for the old bill or ambulance but nowadays the first thing they reach for is a phone to start filming it.
What a sad indictment of modern society

The shoplifting thing, or the push to stop challenging people who do it is another lefty initiative. Their thinking is people only steal because of structural inequalities in society and they can't afford to buy them. So the thinking is let them get away with it firstly as they believe the solution lies in fixing societies structural inequalities (see Defund the Police etc) but also as a method to redistribute wealth. Prices will inevitably go up to cover the cost of the thefts but those will be paid by those that can afford it.

A month or so ago I was in my local sainsbury’s waiting to go through the self check out doings,fully loaded up about a twoers worth.
Was a bit short staffed as a result a bit slow getting through(normally a few minutes) fella behind was absolutely loaded.saw a queue reversed up and strolled straight out.
I’d guess he had well over three hundred quids worth.
Wasn’t sure what to do.grass him up……..??
Didn’t bother but couldn’t believe he had the front.
Now whether this bloke does it all the time is anyone’s guess.

Re: Shoplifting.

Branded, sorry if I misunderstood your point, but are you saying a shopkeeper should not be able to manhandle a shoplifter?
They should let them just walk out the door with their belongings?
Is it a stretch to say that is like you should comply with a mugger and can't fight back?
