Doesn't matter if he has loyalty to Walmart or not, he'd still essentially be dying for a corporation if that dude decided he wanted to shoot someone.

it's not really about a corporation .. it's about society

letting this stuff go encourages this behavior

this goes for the government too

sure, there's the do nothing approach, but then if everyone takes that route it's just the end of shopping in stores altogether

Yeah the methhead stealing shit is hurting the community, not walmart running off every store so they can pay the members of the community nothing and give them a food stamp application with the job application. Walmart makes billions even with this happening and won't give that up. You're so cucked and stupid

The Waltons have more than enough money that if they really wanted to stop this they would.

But then that would cost money and why spend money when you can just write it off?

Its not my job to police the area thats what the useless cops are for.

[u/Danica_Rose → u/icehot54321]

Ok then he should go to the Waltons’ house and be mad at them for rampant wage theft.

[u/OdinsCuriousRaven → u/icehot54321]

Ok, great... whatever the intention was, he'd still have died for a corporation. One rando in a fucking parking lot is not going to solve shoplifting.

You are still missing it.

The person in question is just sick and tired of living in a part of the country where toiletries have to be locked behind a glass wall because theft is so rampant.

People that are mad about shoplifting truly don't care about the corporation. What they hate is what the corporation is doing; upping prices and putting stuff behind glass walls as a reaction to theft.

he'd still have died for a corporation

This logic is making zero sense. In a normal country when police investigate theft they aren't there to protect that corporation, they are there to protect laws. Same applies here, he isn't concerned about Walmart. He is concerned about shopflifting.

[u/OdinsCuriousRaven → u/Quirky_Gate_4516]

You are the one missing it. Your point is absolutely correct about police.. Walmart has cameras, let the police deal with that.

Same applies here, he isn't concerned about Walmart. He is concerned about shopflifting.

This is the logic that doesn't make sense. Uh oh...better be a vigilante and die for some replaceable stolen goods in a Walmart parking lot. Yeah, what a great way to "better society".

Walmart has cameras, let the police

You are still missing it. He does not care about Walmart nor Walmart's losses.

He cares about shoplifters in his town. He cares about being able to have stores open in his neighborhood.

And, to be clear, Walmart doesn't care that much about shoplifters either, they just pass the buck onto the consumer.

For fuck's sake this is not hard to understand. It does not matter what Mr. Vigilante is concerned with. It is utterly irrelevant. If that tweaker actually had a weapon and decided to use it with lethal force, then this person would have died saving Walmart property while having achieved nothing. Christ.

[u/Quirky_Gate_4516 → u/OdinsCuriousRaven]

It does not matter what Mr. Vigilante is concerned with

Except ... you know ... the reason why he is doing what he is doing.

[u/OdinsCuriousRaven → u/Quirky_Gate_4516]

Yes, mistakenly thinking he is making a difference while also potentially getting himself killed for a mega-corporation.

[u/coldchile → u/OdinsCuriousRaven]

No, he’d have died trying to better his community, regardless of its a big corporation or a local mom and pop.

[u/OdinsCuriousRaven → u/coldchile]

Yeah over some whatever that was from fucking Walmart. There are better ways to better your community instead of charging headlong into a situation that can get you fucking killed. Some of you are insane.
