The onus is on the mall security, IMO. A few phones and watches aren’t worth the employees getting hurt or worse.
Having said that, there’s a lot of this shit going on. Hopefully these thugs get what’s coming to ‘em.
saying about the employees but the whole point is nothing is done about this, ever. These assholes are this brazen because they know nothing will happen to them. No arrests and no charges. There are videos after videos of people looting stores for the same reason. There are some employees who are just fed up and do something to stop it but it's up to that individual. Maybe if someone steps up, others will help. But in most cases, no one does anything but take a video. It's a fucked up world that isn't getting better.
That’s funny. I’m pretty sure the employees are saying to themselves…”fuck this! They don’t pay me enough to risk my life for a fucking phone”.
hands. I've watched videos of employees stopping these assholes and preventing them from stealing. Business owners are getting little to no help from the system so it's up to them to handle it. The issue is law abiding citizens will really get punished.
but when it comes to a big box store, the employees have very little skin in the game. I truly hear what you’re saying and I agree with a lot of it, but I’m todays world, it’s unrealistic to expect an hourly employee to tackle a smash and grab thief.
I work in a retail store. We are forbidden to stop anyone from stealing anything and following them out of the store.

I'm not suggesting he actually shoot anyone. Maybe just chop off the bad guy's arm. Then he/she/they/clownself can only steal half as much and the guard will have earned his keep.

And the police would come and arrest the guys. And the DA would prosecute the guys. And the guys would go to jail.
Virtually every corporate retail operation prevents employees from stopping thieves or calling police.
look at these incidents, you’ll notice that the thieves go in fast and exit fast. Most are never caught by police because they’re long gone.
And I am assuming they wouldn't come if called.
And I am assuming the thieves wouldn't be prosecuted if the police did come.
That magic $950 level has created crazy incentives in California.
Same shit happens in Chicago and other big cities as well, for the same reasons.
smash and grab but these phones can be traced. Even if caught, nothing will happen. It's the world we live in right now. It's considered reparations.
I’m talking about kids raised in a fatherless or parentless environment. The left thinks this is bullshit, but it’s not. This is exactly why blacks are incarcerated at such a high level compared to other groups.
called racist for pointing it out. It happens on here all the damn time. MAS has posted stat after stat about the reality of the crimes and he gets shit all the time for doing it.
some can’t handle the truth. I’m also a firm believer that the left uses minority groups for votes every two years. They give the minorities just enough to keep coming back to the plantation.
The attached, and rather expansive, survey by PEW Research shows that there is quite a diversity of opinion within the Black community. I've highlighted the page that deals with Black Americans' views on the importance of Voting Rights...and nearly two-thirds believe it is very important to their future hopes and dreams of equality.
Yet, just recently, in the early part of this year the GOP used its filibuster power five times to deny Black Americans a Democrat sponsored Voting Rights Bill...the Black community can see and judge for themselves who they can rely on...and who they can't....that's why the majority vote Democratic.
As for the issue of rampant stealing from stores...this is not a 'white collar' practice...i.e. the perpetrators are typically very low on the income scale, and with our ever increasing Wealth Gap, the 'incentive' to steal can only rise...IMO, while certainly not the only cause...it is the root of the problem.

now that we are, blacks and all minority citizens have the right to vote.
I was talking about the fact that 60-70 percent of black kids grow up in a fatherless household. You may not think this is an issue, but many blacks do. I also believe this is a key reason why 13% of the population commits over 35% of all violent crimes. ucr.fbi.gov has the violent crime statistics. The below site has the other info.
Hopefully pointing out these facts isn’t construed as racist.

"I’m also a firm believer that THE LEFT USES minority groups for votes every two years. They give the minorities just enough to keep coming back to the plantation." (emphasis mine)...that is patently false, for the reasons I just gave you...and not only that, it is dismissive of the Black community's ability to think for itself...and when it comes to 'Racism', you're treading on thin ice with comments like that.
Re-read the posts in this thread...what was a story about an Apple Store robbery quickly became an indictment against Black people...my post is totally relevant to that vector...and your comment.
Once again, I urge you, if you have any serious concern about achieving racial equality, to read the PEW Report, if only as a starter.
If they don’t tow the party line, they’re “Uncle and Auntie Toms”, huh? The Democratic Party is a farce full of pasty white limo liberals that think that blacks are their toys. That’s racism, son. And you’re part of the problem.
Original Republican Sin"...
You're just repeating GOP tropes intended to gaslight their base...the only party that is unrelenting in its work to bring about racial equality is the 'Post-Southern Strategy' Democratic Party...the EVIDENCE is overwhelming...care to go through it just to make absolutely sure?...just ask me.
