For the most part there is no practical consequences if they get caught. In most jurisdictions It’s a mild inconvenience at best. You’ve got the crapholes that let them out because DEI and liberal Judges feel bad. Then you’ve got a lot of places that have frankly more criminal and social problems that are more pressing as the country grows increasingly dysfunctional and social order breaks down as space is limited in the prisons.
Even when caught they can often get ordered to pay for whatever they’ve stolen if it can’t be recovered. But often enough there’s no mechanism in place to actually force them to pay.
That and Liability and Legalese favor the Shoplifters. Loss Prevention can’t physically touch them. Outside of extremely narrowly defined circumstances. And even then they’re still liable to lose their jobs even if it’s found to meet those narrow circumstances.
Contracted Private Security has more room legally. But even then it’s liable to turn into a legal circus. As Courts have found in favor of shoplifters repeatedly. Who’ve argued everything from false arrest to being physically assaulted by Security.
Most of the country is unironically held hostage by the bottom 10% of the country. But we can’t do anything about the bottom 10%. Because people are afraid of finally doing something being used as justification to infringe on the Constitution. Though a fair few people who claim to be worried about the Constitution. Are more so worried about any potential solution inconveniencing them personally more than anything. Or alternatively they make money off of the bottom 10%.
So people Cope post about things not having to be this way. Shooting thieves. Or the good old days where they tried someone in the morning and had them strung up by the afternoon. Or cope about other solutions that would be implausible with American culture. Without actual doing anything. Because they’re afraid of the potential consequences of what doing something might actually entail.
Personally I feel like bringing back physical punishments. Might be useful. Start Breaking Fingers for example. If it keeps happening work your way up to a Hand. That or maybe Branding with a hot Iron. Right across the face. It’s somewhat Medieval and brutal. But clearly what we’re doing stopped working. So perhaps it’s time to return to the drawing board.
Or how about the stockades? Person has to stick his head and arms through that board and just stand there while the public gets to berate them. Public humiliation. Also they should have to work off their crimes cleaning bathrooms, sweeping streets, etc. bring back the chain gang
It’s becoming more of a broader social and societal wide dysfunction. The problems with the legal system are downstream of that.
We’re at a society wide impasse. Everyone agrees things as they currently stand are unacceptable. But people are paralyzed into indecision as they’re worried about the consequences of what doing something could potentially mean. For either the country at large and or themselves personally.
That’s why they call it Anarcho-Tyrrany. Anarchy for the nonwhites, who can do as they wish and not only do they go unpunished but they continue to get free gibs like welfare and snap, and Tyrrany for the heritage Americans who dare to say something or stand up to blatant crime.
If I was going to steal meat, I wouldn't steal it from Food Lion. I'm not saying their meat is bad, but it's not worth going to jail. I know, I know, there will probably be no consequences for this asshole, but I'm a white male, so yeah, they'd throw me under the jail.
Looks like he wanted to be caught.
Don't think so. Some of the people feel entitled. They believe even if they were caught, no consequence.

Physical punishments? Camera off…beating commences…beating complete…camera on.
Carry on.
I really don't know what the solution is, but like I said, our legal system is beyond dysfunctional.

I feel like the only thing suckers like these need to be entitled to is for either jail or guiliotine.
Fetch a Bag of Dicks is a good option too.
