OT: Do not shoplift

Nobody in their right mind would condone shoplifting but that sucker punch is a coward's move to me. If the guy is stealing your sh!+, confront him if you want it stopped.
A coward's move? The guy deserved every bit of that and hopefully will get more in jail time, although I wouldn't hold my breath on that. Of course today the guy stealing stuff is the victim and the guy that stopped him is the criminal.
17 confronting him, he may have a weapon. He came in the store intending to steal stuff. He ABSOLUTELY deserved what he got. The puncher should get an award. You sir, are an idiot.

Totally agree. What a backwards way of thinking. Here you have what looks to be a small business owner trying to make an honest living. Some thug, who I assume has done this many times before, is the "victim" of a cowardess move? Pfffft please.

He was confronted and he was stopped and in your mind sucker punch is worse than shoplifting, really? He should have been kicked in the nuts while he was laying there waiting for the cops to haul his sorry *** away.
Really?
That would've been too much work cleaning up all that blood. The punch was more efficient...and a darn good one at that I might add.

I worked at Sears in Memphis in my younger days. More than once security had guns pulled on them when they confronted shoplifters.
There was a gang that was hitting Sears hard. One of the security officers had his house and driveway tagged with death threats. What makes it worse was his brother, a Shelby County Officer, lived with him. When I quit they still hadn't caught them. The security manager at Southland got curb stomped at gun point.

Why in the hell do people defend a person blatantly breaking the law?
If you break in a home you have forfeited your rights. If you make a choice to steal things you deserve what you got coming.
I like seeing Jimmy Johns get knocked the 17 out. I hate when mississippi kids go play for bama----->Kevin Norwood, Freddie Milons, Deshea, Dewayne Rudd, etc

I thought they had to wait until the guy was leaving the store with the goods before it was shoplifting. If so, then the guy making the punch might get sued. But I sure wouldn't charge him if I were a cop.
You should also get punched for being that bad at shoplifting. Everyone in the store probably saw that.

Some of you are 17in pussies. Stealing is the lowest thing someone can do. The only thing I didn't like about the whole deal was that he didn't hit his head on anything falling down
The employee/owner committed battery.
The business owner could be liable for damages depending on the state's duty of care law owed to customers (yes, even if the customer is a thief or a trespasser).
Generally, you cannot protect your property - in your home or business - with lethal force. You may only use lethal force to protect yourself against the threat of imminent harm which does not appear to be the case here.
This may not be lethal force. The recent incidences of "knockout" in various states that have resulted in death suggest otherwise.
Personal commentary: America is a screwed up place now. When business owners/employees do this to customers (even if they are thiefs) or when kids play games like knockout, you have a very sick, sick culture. I guess that's what happens when half the kids now grow up without a father that will kick their *** and they spend so much of their time consuming a culture of violence in our movies, music, and games. It's no wonder their hearts and minds are just hardened and numb. My generation really screwed the pooch if this is what we taught this next generation to be. Damn. Just damn.
So, if stealing is the lowest thing someone can do, then where does murder, rape, kidnapping, torture and arson appear on your list? Not to mention being ******* on by everybody in the SEC West - I would think that is lower than shoplifting.
You are wrong
You stealing from me, then you loose all rights. Shoplifting isn't cute, I should be allowed to kill you for stealing from me if i choose and screw anyone that says different.
If that were true, there would be a lot fewer thugs on this planet.

Yes and no
Many stores have policies that require the employees to wait until they are at least past the cash register. Many even require them to ask, "Will there be anything else?" or something of that nature. But... Once you conceal it, it can be considered shoplifting but it's more difficult to prove in court. You leave the local courts an out to let them off. I was going to pay for that!
As far as punching they guy? He is in more trouble than the guy shoplifting. That's wrong, but the truth.
As much as I can't stand shoplifters, at least they aren't employees. You can somewhat control customers stealing but if it gets into the employees, they will put you into bankruptcy. I absolutely hate a thief. Can you tell?

I'm with you. Petty theft is right up there with cold blooded murder and rape in my book. They all indicate a lack of respect for life, liberty, and property. People who do not respect those ideals are of no value to the human race, and should be eliminated from the gene pool.
I've never stolen a thing in my life but this is the dumbest thing I've ever read.
I exaggerated a bit
No need to kill 'em.
A good old fashioned *** kicking will suffice, I suppose.

So, you don't lose all your rights, just the ones that you, Natchezdawg, decide he should lose at any given moment based solely on your perception of what the alleged criminal has done. You can't argue with that rock solid logic.
I love the people in this thread saying that those who are actually aware of two hundred year old judicial precedent are "wrong".
