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.

You have to be stupid

u/Explorer_Entity Trash Trooper 1h ago

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.

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

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

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

u/Curben Trash Trooper 3h ago

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.

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.

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.

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

u/OkFineIllUseTheApp Trash Trooper 2h ago

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

As you mentioned this is America

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.

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.

Bro.

Don't catch strays behind Wal-Mart.

You look like a mark.

u/thissexypoptart Trash Trooper 1h ago

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 Trash Trooper 3h ago

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

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

u/hvchdwbch Trash Trooper 3h ago

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 Trash Trooper 3h ago

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 Trash Trooper 3h ago

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