    Hard disagree. Retail workers have it bad enough and the situation has to have been absolutely awful for this guy to actually get arrested instead of coddled by management.

      I don’t know, The Joker used to be written to be funny, and DC keeps trying to strip that away from him.

    I’m not defending the guy but this is a good reason why it is generally against protocol to confront shoplifters. Just let your employer collect the evidence and handle it their way.

      Confronting shoplifters is stupid. Why risk your safety for a corporation that won’t risk anything for you? Especially when they’re worth billions of dollars and you’re making minimum wage. Is it really worth your life to save some faceless corporation two dollars? That’s not even getting into the fact that people who are stealing food are probably starving and desperate.

      Nothing even hints at this being about shoplifting. I agree with what you said, but there’s nothing that says it’s related to this at all.

    how would they word a law like this?

    how can we objectively define what is funny or not?

      “if monetizing a video of a crime can pay for the damages caused by the crime and there were no injuries, no deaths, no falsehoods portrayed, and no undermining of an election occurs then the crime will be recorded but no fines or penalties shall be levied.”

        Maybe let the victim pick between charging the attacker or getting all proceeds from the monetized video? Probably lead to lots of people deliberately setting up increasingly complex ways for a friend to attack them, then they split the proceeds. Hmm, the rational part of me says bad idea, but the descended-from-folks-that-loved-watching-gladiator-fights part of me would totally watch.
