    Is it really worth it shooting someone who’s just shoplifting? I can see gun use in self-defence, and even then, just complying with the robber is probably the best option.

      Remember the smoke shop guy who stabbed an underage shoplifter multiple times in the back and then got on reddit and said it was like counterstrike?

      Especially as just an employee of a large corporation. Not like his money is affected by the shoplifting. Dude probably was just itching to actually shoot someone.

      Put this dude’s face on every store wall.

      The right thing to dealing with theft when you work at a minimum wage job is nothing. You aren’t paid to stop theft. Nor do you have the training.

      And here’s proof. GameStop is going to back away and let this guy go to jail. They don’t care about the merch he “protected”.

      Dude went to jail with murder charges over a few hundred dollars.
