Perfectly Timed Soda Bottle Throw Stops Shoplifter in His Tracks.
It seems like the world is becoming more and more chaotic with each passing day. The sight of innocent civilians falling victim to heinous crimes is heart-wrenching. The recent incident of a woman being brutally beaten by a repeat criminal offender on an NYC subway platform, as reported by the Daily Mail, is a prime example of such atrocities. The woman was left with severe injuries, and the incident raises important questions about the safety of civilians in public spaces.
The assault on the victim was met with a disturbing lack of intervention from bystanders. This has caused a wave of anger and frustration online, and the victim may now be left with a lifetime of post-traumatic stress as a result of the injuries she sustained.
The unfortunate truth is that individuals who choose to intervene in certain incidents are often met with backlash and disapproval. A prime example of this is the case involving Daniel Penny and Jordan Neely, which garnered widespread attention and criticism.
Getting involved in physical altercations can be a daunting prospect, especially when the aggressor is already acting aggressively. The fear of facing legal consequences for intervening in a situation that may not involve you is a legitimate concern.
The security camera footage portrays a shoplifter being stopped by a security guard at the store’s exit. In the video, the shoplifter is seen holding a bottle of soda, and it is likely that this item was the reason for the altercation that followed. The security guard manages to tackle the shoplifter, preventing them from leaving the store.
The video of a customer throwing a Coke bottle at a shoplifter has recently gained popularity on social media. It has been shared on various platforms, including Citizen Free Press X account and Reddit’s r/PublicFreakout sub. Many people have praised the customer for taking action and preventing the thief from getting away with stolen goods.
As depicted in the video, a store security guard used a shopping cart to obstruct the alleged thief from exiting the store. The footage shows the two individuals engaged in what seems to be a conversation filled with exchanges.
From the edge of the video, a person sporting a red hoodie is visible standing a few feet away from the shoplifter’s right side. The individual is gripping a bottle, seemingly a two-liter soda bottle, with both hands held up above their head.
As they take a confident stride forward, they release the soda bottle with precision. The bottle hurtles through the air and strikes the supposed criminal right in the face, catching them off guard. The impact is swift and sure, leaving no room for doubt.
As soon as the blow lands, the thief appears to lose consciousness. They become completely limp and fall to the ground, almost as if they had been hit by a surprise punch from Francis Ngannou.
As the security guard stands above the crook, they crumple to the ground like an accordion, lying motionless. The guard then carefully places them on their back and brings their arms to their sides.
The feedback on both X and Reddit about the man in the red sweater who used a bottle of soda to subdue a shoplifter was quite diverse. Many individuals expressed admiration for his heroic actions.
One individual expressed their admiration by stating, “That was truly beautiful.”
One individual under the username X expressed their opinion by stating, “This ought to be an Olympic event.”
One individual emphasized that in order to overcome challenges, we must display courage, which is our most powerful tool. They provided a physical example of facing danger head-on, but also acknowledged that threats can be concealed. It is our bravery that guides us towards success, regardless of whether the danger is apparent or hidden. The message was clear: let’s remain steadfast and resolute in the face of adversity.
On the other hand, some individuals expressed their concern that both the store and the man in the red sweater might be subject to legal repercussions for their actions.
Regrettably, it is highly likely that the store will face a lawsuit.
Another person expressed concern that if the perpetrator was an employee, both the individual and the company could face legal repercussions. However, if the assailant was simply a random customer, the victim would need to identify them in order to take legal action. In the event that the perpetrator is a regular customer, it is possible that staff and witnesses may not be willing to identify them. As one commentator noted, they may claim to have never seen the individual before.
The location of the soda-bottle attack against the shoplifter remains unclear, but many viewers who saw the video commented that it resembled the ongoing “epidemic” of shoplifting in the United States, as reported in the article linked here.
According to Capital One Shopping , the term “epidemic” may not even be an exaggeration. Shockingly, companies have suffered a loss of $100 billion due to retail theft caused by a staggering 19.4% year-over-year increase in crime. This is an alarming situation that cannot be ignored.
