This is a phenomena that I have been wondering about for a couple of years. Since the advent of the flash mob the flash robbery wasn't too far behind. The store staff cannot do anything to stop the illegal activity regardless of the size of the store. Just sit back and hope you can collect from the insurance company or chalk it up to business expense. Even if you had/have a security guard he is helpless/useless in these situations just as the police are. All the police can do is take pictures and hope to identify the offenders. Then proving that someone stole something becomes difficult. What I am waiting to see is the Occupy assholes occupy a major store this coming weekend. It will be interesting to see how the retailers respond to these criminals and what they do to prevent them. I would start holding drivers licenses and student ids at the front door. Pick it up on your way out. What an imagination. Paranoid delusions that you wish for? You don't have a clue what you're talking about, which is par for the course. What happens here in the two areas we have closest to "urban" is they have locks or even man traps on the doors and you get buzzed into the store. The rule is 5 people max at one time. If you hit the panic bar to open the door the fire department and the cops come. We do have a lot better response time than you typically get up in the blue states. We also have the "stand your ground" law. It is not a question of whether a shop keeper can shoot a robber, it is how far he can chase them down the street before he shoots them in the back. The precedent has been set at 300 feet down the road without a charge but the cops are trying to reel that back in a bit. I presume there are serious legal penalties for a shopkeeper who, while chasing a shoplifter down the street over a candy bar, shoots an innocent bystander or two. |

But Greg was talking robbery, not shop lifting, or shooting innocent bystanders. Troll away, dip****. -- 1-20-13 The end of an error |

I'm sure it will be, in criminal and civil courts. In the latter, the survivors of the killed innocent bystander will end up owning the shooter's candy store, and rightfully so. -- http://flickr.com/gp/hakr/8272ug |

Pick it up on your way out. The malls and stores are private property. I'd rather see an occupation of the public roads leading to the entrances to the malls, or, better yet, demonstrations on the public streets and sidewalks where the Wall Street crooks live, or at the public entrances to their private enclaves. In fact, demonstrating where the pigs live might be a lot more effective than parading in front of stores. I would rather see them camping out in that little grassy patch in front of the Capitol. Go after the real crooks. These camp-out places are too removed. Better to demonstrate on the streets of McLean Virginia where many of the pols live. And also on the public streets where many of the Wall Streeters live. Make their neighbors miserable and the right sort of pressure will be applied. I used to do this with school board members when I worked for the National Education Assn. When board members refused to negotiate in good faith, we'd put on some meaningful (meaning effective) demonstrations at school board buildings, courthouses, and on the public streets in front of the homes of school board members. Peaceful demonstrations, perfectly legal. "Informational Picketing" is what it was called later. |
