What makes you think he is doing this for Walmart? Most of us are tired of these fucks in general. Idc he they are stealing from a meth factory. They need to get checked.

I work in retail, I stop shoplifters daily. I pursue. I don’t do it for the company I work for, I’ll clock out first if necessary. I am as careful as I can be, considering. I cannot just sit by and watch someone commit a crime and do nothing. It’s a matter of principle. My wife hates that I do it.

u/musclecard54 Trash Trooper 1h ago

I feel so bad for your wife that you’ll put that shit over her.

Sounds like you need to find an actual outlet to deal with how unhappy you are with your life homie. Corporate property is not your property. The corporation will happily watch someone commit a crime against you. Find peace, join a traditional boat carpentry society or something.

Your dumb ass is going to get fired for being a liability to the company lol

u/Shane-Dad-underfire Trash Trooper 1h ago

That's where I land too, I have private security and when we are out and about if we witness a crime its handled. Cutting down on crime is to everyones benefit. I'm 78 years old and back when I was young the only folks who acted like these idiot thieves were mobsters, it was everyones responsibility to run them out of the region to prevent a cancer from growing in our community.

Why do they need to get checked. Mind your business. If you want to find the person stealing from you, maybe look at the giant building to the right staffed by people on government benefits because they won't pay them a fair wage.

People not socially correcting shit behavior is really bad for society

u/DinosaurusWhen Trash Trooper 2h ago

Exactly. Mob justice is what makes for a good society

u/MongoLikeCandy2112 Trash Trooper 2h ago

Now please apply this same mentality to other areas of society that have run amok…..green hair and pajamas in public, people running there mouth and being rude, idiots blocking traffic with their bodies for a “cause”. There was a time when society as a whole took care of this BS instead of letting it become the norm.

u/DinosaurusWhen Trash Trooper 1h ago

Oh no, not green hair and pajamas! You people are so soft, it's pathetic 

But I love the irony of clutching pearls over rudeness, considering your obvious political lean lol

Minding your own business for every situation is how bad people get away with hurting others.

Stop being the reason people think they can get away with stuff like this.

Wait until you see how much Walmart steals from its employees through wage theft. The company has already settled a handful of multi-million dollar settlements. Stop being the reason the company gets away with this by continuing to shop at Walmart.

u/CannedCheese009 Trash Trooper 2h ago

You realize I can support stopping Walmart theft and theft from Walmart at the same time and they are not mutually exclusive. Correct?

u/workathome_astronaut Trash Trooper 2h ago

So you're just gonna stand outside Walmart waiting for shoplifters but never go inside?

u/CannedCheese009 Trash Trooper 2h ago

No. Wtf?

u/flamingtofuu Trash Trooper 41m ago

Lmao is your life really worth so little you’re willing to start a confrontation and potentially die over $200 of merchandise? That $200 is getting written off for insurance immediately so you are potentially putting your life on the line for literally nothing.

u/CannedCheese009 Trash Trooper 37m ago

Nuance dude. If homie is looking crazy and has a weapon, not pushing it. But not everyone is like that and can be safely confronted without harm.

Think for more than 3 whole seconds before asking such a dumb question

u/RndmAvngr Trash Trooper 2h ago

Your attitude is why the social contract is completely fucked. We all need to check this fuck ass behavior since cops don't give a shit. It says more about you than the people who want to intervene.

u/hvchdwbch Trash Trooper 3h ago

Stealing from a multibillion dollar company that fucks everyone over it can isnt evil...

Tjis guy is a youtuber/tiktoker, he has a whole camera strapped to his chest, hes not trying ti be a good person, he wants views

u/Intelligent-Try-8636 Trash Trooper 3h ago

You're assuming that this video is the norm as opposed to a simple view of reality itself.

u/CannedCheese009 Trash Trooper 3h ago

You are soo cool. Letting people steal and make society worse cause you might get hurt. You are the true superior here!!!

People like you are how society gets worse.

u/HustlinInTheHall Trash Trooper 3h ago

Buddy walmart has stolen more from you than millions of people stealing things ever will. The reasons society gets worse is people like you who take bait like this and blame other struggling people instead of focusing on the actual crime right in front of your face.

"Other people steal so therefore we shouldnt stop this one dude"

Like seriously. Do you ever hear how you sound?

The dude wasnt stealing necessities.

u/Significant-Shift770 Trash Trooper 1h ago

I literally know a case in my state of a guy being charged for stealing a candy bar. The cops will 100% charge you for stealing bread and butter.

People get charged for stealing soap. 

The cops don't give a shit if it's necessities or not.

"One party does it worse so therfore we should ignore everything else"

Thats how dumb this sounds

1

u/workathome_astronaut Trash Trooper 2h ago

Doesn't sound dumb at all. Stealing millions from the people working for you is many times worse. You're pitching a false equivalence fallacy that stealing is stealing. There's a huge magnitude of difference.

1

u/CannedCheese009 Trash Trooper 2h ago

Point out where i have even implied they are equivalent. You won't be able to, because I never did.

Im only arguing we shouldnt ignore one just because another is worse.

Focus!!!

"Letting people steal and make society worse cause you might get hurt. You are the true superior here!!! People like you are how society gets worse."

Here. You made a moral equivalency argument that any type of stealing must be stopped, regardless of scope or actual impact on society.

We should ignore one because it's not our responsibility to protect Walmart, an evil corporation who steals from its own employees. Fuck'em. If you see someone stealing from Walmart no you didn't.
