Friendly reminder that if you see someone shoplifting food, no you fucking didn’t.
Posting my favourite Green Arrow moment again:
Questions for retailers (who probably won’t see this, but whatever):
- Do you have a security guard? Yes/No
a) If yes, and you’re still getting shoplifters, hire better security. Problem solved.
b) No? Get a security guard. Problem solved.
- Still here? Are you complaining about having to pay for a security guard? Yes/No
a) If No, why are you still here? Go hire that competent guard.
b) If Yes:
- What’s the cost of the shoplifting compared to having a security guard, taking wages, insurance and premiums into account? Less/More
a) If Less, stop complaining, you’re getting a bargain.
b) More? Looks like hiring a security guard might be worth it after all.
Do I shoplift? Ha. I’m currently agoraphobic and don’t leave the house. My arms aren’t that long.
The last time I was in a physical store, I was of the opinion that as long as I can afford something I need, I’ll pay for it. For things I merely want and can’t justify the expense, I’ll do without. (Sounds a bit like 3a.)
And the last time I nicked something (calm down, put your monocle back on) it was probably a sweet from the pick & mix at Morrisons when I was 10 or something.
From what I recall, there are quite strict limits on the actions that a security guard can perform to actually detain someone, so actually a big factor is the police response time.
Telling a little family-run corner shop to get a security guard isn’t that helpful
There’s pretty large evidence of a car theft epidemic tho tbh
Sure, but do you think the right wing nutjobs who get angry about things like this care about evidence?
They’re glad of another excuse to validate their anger against “them”, and even if later evidence comes out to suggest something never happened, their rage and hatred has by this point only grown deeper.
We’re on a path to a return to bring openly run by these sorts of people, and eventually all that deep hatred of “them” will come pouring out once there’s the power to act against them on a national scale.
Us decent people are, by our nature, not angry and hateful enough to do anything to stop this until it’s far too late. History repeats itself over and over :-(
They
anger against “them”
LOL oh the irony
Us decent people
ROFL

You think a lot of yourself don’t you.
Rightwingers aren’t people and don’t deserve to be treated like people. That better for you?
pronouns themselves aren’t a problem lol. he had a specific group in mind. “the conservatives who are complaining about this issue” the problem arises when the “them” is nebulous or used as a racist dig whistle. he is pointing out conversations using it as the latter here.
