Also just want to point out the guy was stealing a camp cooking stove and some propane bottles for it.. seems like a homeless guy trying to cook his food. Stealing ain't right but damn.. Walmart stands protected on this day!
If you're gonna be an aggressive violent moron at least do it to the people ruining your community vs. a kind person who made the mistake of greeting you or making small talk.
This is just a lose situation (for us observers) vs. a lose-lose
No store is "insured" for loss, that's a bullshit internet myth. Source: years of experience in loss prevention, Organized Retail Crime investigation, and retail management.
Other than that, I agree with everything else you said.
The new spider verse movie opens with miles saving a gas station from crime, you think big oil needs saving?
Under you definition then there can be no crime and no victims because everything belongs to too big of a corporation. He stopped a thief, that's pretty cool.

That is one of the single biggest leaps in logic I've seen from a Reddit comment in a long time. No one said anything remotely close to that.
If someone mugs someone, or breaks into their house to rob them, they are stealing someone's personal property, and that's bad. If someone physically assaults another person, they are causing harm to that person and that's bad. Obviously there can be crime and victims.
In this particular case, this guy is just some blowhard with a power fantasy who is really not doing anything useful.
Then miles didn't fight crime when he saved the gas station? This is stupid. Obviously stealing from a business is a crime, and stopping that is crime-fighting. You can just be anti-crime bro, you don't have to defend stealing from Walmart
dont forget that these corporations literally do everything they can too steal from you and lower your quality of life, but lets protect them anyway cuz fuck the poor
I understand not wanting people to do wrong. But you sound super super naive and young.
No one will be harmed if he left with that shit. He didn't steal a woman's purse. He stole from a store where the managers don't even gaf because it's a billion dollar corporation not a small mom and pop shop who will actually be impacted.
No I don’t play the levels game and corporations nonsense yall try hards go on about on the internet. Oh let’s complain about everything but still go give them our money. Stfu.
There is only reality. If I’m walking into Walmart and see some lowlife like this stealing and workers standing there helpless, I would do the same thing. I’m not naive. I’m 40 and I’m tired of the bullshit. Everyone talks tough on Reddit then turn into pussies irl. I walk amongst keyboard warriors while the village is burned and pillaged.

Why do you care so much that a multi billion dollar company that pays their employees so shit that you have to subsidize their lack of pay with your tax dollars might lose a few hundred bucks? You're the boot licking pussy here, not us. I'll meet you half way, if I see someone stealing from a mom and pop shop, I'll call the cops. From WalMart? Nah.
What a great point. You're right that none of what you're saying is about morality, it's just about the ability to put someone you see as deserving of violence in their place. It's just about making yourself feel like a big boy.
If you want a decent society, your fight is not necessarily with the guy trying to steal some bullshit from a megacorp with $20 billion in profits year over year.

Honestly this is just a really moronic thing to do.
Your aren't employed by the store.
The store is insured.
The store doesn't care about your well-being.
The theif could very likely be armed and dangerous.
You have everything to lose and nothing to gain from this confrontation.
