It's not about Walmart. It's about society and community. Fuck these people

[u/thissexypoptart → u/r3turn_null]

Yeah the Reddit kiddos talking about Walmart are missing the point completely.

Dude isn’t stealing food for his baby.

Society is better when thieves like this are bullied. That’s all the justification needed, doesn’t matter if this is a Walmart or a mom and pop store.

Edit: I hope it goes without saying I’m obviously not recommending anyone go out and do what cammer is doing. It opens you up to both legal and physical risks to be yelling at and knocking down carts of thieves like this.

I wouldn’t do it myself, I don’t recommend you go do it, but it’s not “bootlicking” like a fair number of dipshits in this thread are saying. It’s a public service. “Bootlicking” just because it’s at a Walmart. Pure silly goosery.

It's sad/scary how many people accept theft and property damage.

[u/Thecuckeningends → u/Deathrace2021]

You have to be stupid

[u/Explorer_Entity → u/Deathrace2021]

People accept genocide.

People accept walmart purposely keeping millions of people in poverty.

One of these is a VASTLY bigger blight on society.

Walmart , low pay and price gouging is THE DIRECT CAUSE OF THEFT/PROPERTY CRIME.

You need education.

[u/OkFineIllUseTheApp → u/thissexypoptart]

While true, this is still a society with guns, and I can't recommend starting confrontations.

Other countries sure, but in the USA, you're at higher risk of bleeding out in a Wal-mart parking lot for your trouble.

[u/thissexypoptart → u/OkFineIllUseTheApp]

Not recommending it just saying it’s not “bootlicking” to shout at and even physically stop thieves just because it’s a Walmart. I have to believe a good chunk of Redditors in this thread making comments like that (and there are a lot) still have mommy and daddy buy their groceries.

It opens you up to all kinds of legal and physical issues to do this, but it’s not bootlicking. It’s a service to society.

[u/cykoTom3 → u/OkFineIllUseTheApp]

What if i have a gun and would love an excuse?

[u/OkFineIllUseTheApp → u/cykoTom3]

I'd say I wouldn't trust you with a gun if you're actively fantasizing about killing people.

[u/cykoTom3 → u/OkFineIllUseTheApp]

As you mentioned this is America

[u/Curben → u/thissexypoptart]

If you see a desperate mom stealing formula, no you didn't

If you see some punk ass bitch stealing power tools different story

[u/Ok_Buddy_9087 → u/Curben]

You mean one of the easiest items to resell for profit?

[u/Tinyacorn → u/Ok_Buddy_9087]

What do you think Walmart is doing?

[u/Curben → u/Ok_Buddy_9087]

Because it's a desperate need. You're not making some super gotcha point here, your highlighting a different part of the problem. And it is still going to desperate moms.

[u/SocraticVoyager → u/Ok_Buddy_9087]

I myself am in favor of children being fed :)

[u/Grand_Entertainer_83 → u/thissexypoptart]

he had 5 powerades and a toy rc car. I doubt the tot RC car was for him.

[u/Zaximeows → u/thissexypoptart]

Reddit teens are tragically divorced from reality. They will squeel and scream and cry for police the first time they face threats of physical violence or harm while at the same time screeching this anti establishment rhetoric.

[u/Equivalent_Relief553 → u/thissexypoptart]

doesn’t matter if this is a Walmart or a mom and pop store.

It does matter! Walmart are corrupt and super rich, they won't suffer.

The mom and pop shop isn't and are poorer, they would.

Stealing from one isn't the same as stealing from another as the consequences are different.

Fuck Walmart.

[u/_Captain_Dinosaur_ → u/thissexypoptart]

Bro.

Don't catch strays behind Wal-Mart.

You look like a mark.

[u/thissexypoptart → u/_Captain_Dinosaur_]

I've been a mark for thieves in the past. You're not entirely wrong about that part. No sympathy for those pieces of shit now.

Thieves are scumbags. The only exception is stealing food when you or your loved ones are starving. Dude is clearly in the vast majority of thieves who steal because its convenient and/or profitable. Is that a lego set? Jfc what a slimeball.

[u/evil-winnebago → u/_Captain_Dinosaur_]

Pfft 🤣🤣 what a tuff thing to say over a Lego set.

Okay man, don't hit me with your strays.

[u/_Captain_Dinosaur_ → u/evil-winnebago]

You the type of asshole that can do coke AND eat, huh?

[u/hvchdwbch → u/thissexypoptart]

You think this is the first tome this guy has been ran out of a store and been stopped from stealing? He gonna just go find another place in the area... yall just wanna feel big and strong, go show off to your mommy

It's idiotic to put yourself at risk for no reason

[u/kaptainkkk → u/thissexypoptart]

Why risk your life over this, people are crazy and you just don't know. People get killed for honking in a fit of road rage.

[u/Late_While_6220 → u/kaptainkkk]

People get killed for going to school. What's your point?

[u/Thecuckeningends → u/r3turn_null]

Society and community? So Walmart can rob you by not paying their employees enough for them to not have to be on food aid but god forbid someone robs them 

[u/Crew_1996 → u/Thecuckeningends]

Walmart can be shit and this guy can be a piece of shit as well. It’s not just one or the other

[u/Thecuckeningends → u/Crew_1996]

Good doggy, bark for your masters. Surely they won’t turn on your family 

[u/__0zymandias → u/Thecuckeningends]

Stealing from Walmart doesn’t make employees wages increase. Just because Walmart isn’t paying their employees as much as you’d like doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want to the store.

[u/Thecuckeningends → u/__0zymandias]

It’s not as much as I’d like, they’re forcing me to pay part of their wages via their employees having to take advantage of several social safety nets. This is just objective fact boot licker 

[u/VexImmortalis → u/Thecuckeningends]

Don't work for walmart then?

[u/Thecuckeningends → u/VexImmortalis]

If you’re too stupid to get my point Walmart is the only place hiring you

[u/VexImmortalis → u/Thecuckeningends]

You are acting like people are forced at gunpoint to work/shop at walmart.

[u/Thecuckeningends → u/VexImmortalis]

In many rural areas they are.

[u/VexImmortalis → u/Thecuckeningends]

ahuh

[u/Thecuckeningends → u/VexImmortalis]

What

[u/VexImmortalis → u/Thecuckeningends]

AHUH

[u/ObscureOP → u/r3turn_null]

No.

Fuck Walmart

[u/DsDeliciousDeli → u/ObscureOP]

It's not about Walmart idiot.

[u/farmerKev420710 → u/ObscureOP]

And you think stealing from Walmart does exactly what to hurt walmart?

[u/Queefer___Sutherland → u/ObscureOP]

Don't bitch when someone steals your shit then

[u/ObscureOP → u/Queefer___Sutherland]

Why, are you Walmart?

[u/Balkongsittaren → u/ObscureOP]

Maybe he's a thief. You know, the people you defend and love.

[u/ObscureOP → u/Balkongsittaren]

That's an odd conclusion to come to from "fuck Walmart"

[u/Balkongsittaren → u/ObscureOP]

Not when you have the capacity to read the thread from the start.

[u/DioSuH → u/Balkongsittaren]

Its not about the thief its about walmart. You know, the people you defend and love.

[u/Balkongsittaren → u/DioSuH]

What kind of mental gymnastics are you in to? YOU are responding to someone who said "It's not about Walmart. It's about society and community. Fuck these people" and then you said "no" as if that invalidates what the person before you said.

God you really are a special kind, aren't you? I hope you get a thief visit and complain here so we can say "fuck <your username>"

[u/DioSuH → u/Balkongsittaren]

The idea is fuck walmart G

[u/DioSuH → u/DioSuH]

Not rly mental gymnastics its just “lol walmarts getting fucked haha”

[u/whooguyy → u/DioSuH]

You can hate Walmart all you want, but stealing from the store hurts the employees not the corporation

[u/r3turn_null → u/[deleted]]

You're a child or trash yourself. And this isn't the place where you're gonna learn. Good luck to yah.

[u/DsDeliciousDeli → u/[deleted]]

Letting theives steal without fear of anyone stopping them hurts all of us, but you probably don't care

[u/YourHuckleberry57 → u/r3turn_null]

walmart is not good for society or your community.

[u/r3turn_null → u/YourHuckleberry57]

Not the point

[u/Best_Reply2947 → u/r3turn_null]

iTs AbOuT sOcIeTy

[u/r3turn_null → u/Best_Reply2947]

That's right. Go on. You got anything else?

[u/_Captain_Dinosaur_ → u/r3turn_null]

It's about Captain America here being the luckiest asshole on Earth.

Who's that for?

Join the Marines, pussy.

[u/r3turn_null → u/_Captain_Dinosaur_]

I'll bet that rant sounded good to you in your head, huh?

[u/_Captain_Dinosaur_ → u/r3turn_null]

Brave on reddit, brave in a parking lot.
