shoplifter defended by woke

[carmanmemoranda]

Because they claim she was assaulted. It doesn't say anywhere that they defending her stealing things.

Hard work isn't it.

It's what happens when you just go by headlines

 

[johnny2007]

Is it ?

Lots of possible reasons.

Do I support her? No, just waiting for a fuller picture

I've never been arrested because I don't do anything wrong/against the law.
Being detained and then arrested gives some sort of indication that she was up to no good.
It is extremely unlikely that the shopkeeper picked on a genuine shopper, detained her and called the police if she wasn't doing anything wrong.
Of course you don't believe in reasonable thoughts, so this is for others to read.

Was she arrested for shoplifting? I've not seen that anywhere. Have you?
Might have been for something else

 

[johnny2007]

Really? Where did you get that from?

Speak to any shopkeeper or security at large supermarkets.
Met Police will not attend for shoplifting unless they've been detained.
And even then, if there's security involved and they obtained name and address, the police will only give a reference number.
The shop will ask for compensation or start civil proceedings and bar the shoplifter.

There we go.
It all started from shoplifting.
It escalated in an assault.

Not fully true. Try Oxford Street for example

Well she was detained and they did attend. That seems clear at least.

So the headlines say.

I will wait for fuller information. You may be right, but I don't know yet

Have you read the story from the OP link?

 

[Dork Lard]

It's there in the news reports if you care to read them. She was arrested (by police) on suspicion of assault & bailed.

 

[Mottie]

If it was up to them, it would be ok to enter any shop, take whatever you can and leave without paying.
That would soon result in no shops where to buy stuff.

Happens all the time. Seen it myself.

According to the MyLondon news website, the video was recorded by Edilenny Douteo, 18, who it quoted as saying: “I went to the shop to buy some products with my friend. And I saw the lady, they were shouting at each other from the beginning. She was asking for a refund and they told her that is not possible. So she went to the shop and she told them that, if you’re not gonna get my refund, I want to get what I’m supposed to get for my money.”

The news site reported that the man depicted in the video was the shop’s owner, Sohail Sindho. He told MyLondon he and the woman got into an argument over her request for a refund, and claimed he was assaulted first.

Yes. Have you ?

Only because the woman had been detained.
They would've not attended if she'd gone.

So, you want police to attend shops where shoplifting may have taken place, just to show their faces, before leaving again?
How does this help?

So she had already paid for goods, but not received the correct ones? Not really shoplifting, is it?
