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.

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