Originally posted by the man who put it in my hood Theft has existed throughout human history and exists as a form of economic participation, I wouldn't go as far to call it an "industry" but because of the hyper capitalist world we live in it can mimic a secondary or tertiary industry.
There are organized retail crime rings that the police use to justify their existence, these operations can make millions of dollars at the expensive of private industries. There is a belief that it's "okay" to steal from multinational corporations because LOL FUCK THE SYSTEM but those stores are owned and operated by local people in your community. You shouldn't need to justify theft, yes fuck the system but also fuck those people in your community for being too slow to catch you.

Private industry does not want this, they don't want to pay for security guards and alarm systems. Also hot items like razors and pills being locked behind a counter is annoying for the consumer and employee, I have dealt with this issue many times while trying to buy 100 bottles of cough medicine stuck behind a forcefield.
What happens when you get caught?
Anti theft technology is improving every day, I completely believe that technology can entirely replace the basic issue of grabbing an apple off the shelf and running out of the store. People try to hack the Amazon store and "steal" from it to defeat the technology, we are clearly at the very basic stages of this but I believe that private enterprise and technology can easily replace a reliance on regulation and criminal enforcement for theft.
I believe it would cost less overall to replace the system of security guards having to call the police and the court having to convict the person for theft with a system of private companies that have the legal right to enforce theft how they choose in their business, which a lot of them do by just banning the person, telling them to fuck off or they will call the cops.
Instead of the police they would be threatened with deadly violence in that situation which also leads to a liberation of weapons ownership and operation in a private business. It leads to many things which nobody wants which is why nobody talks about this.
But the cost of theft to the system is one that can't and isn't ignored. It's a top priority for business owners who in recent times have had to deal with criminals that are bolder and more desperate. Can we keep going on like this forever? It's not just retail theft either but industrial theft like jumping over a fence into a yard to yoink all the copper. Thieves are merciless and the law does no deter them.

I am never going to read a word of your post. But based on the title I will agree in return for the following concession. It is also made legal to simply kill someone who tries to take your shit. -

Originally posted by Quick Mix Ready it's interesting that stewie character from Family Guy goes into this weird Christmas special just after 9/11 about Jeff Hunter who played Jesus was a better captain on Star Trek before being replaced by William Shatner. His Capt Pike vs Capt Kirk. Aired December of 2001.
Why is that odd? Because the whole star trek and Jeff Hunter "My God can kick your God's Ass" layered jokes and double entendres are also a way to dehumanize questionable remarks as silly. black op tactic 101
and not to mention how Seth McFarlane and Mark Walburg both missed flight 11 out of Boston and end up working together in Ted and Ted 2. which in Ted 2 they go kill time at a live performance theater and are asked for suggestion to act out and they yelled 9/11
throw it out there.. clear some things up. someone didn't want bread winners to die that day. -

if harm is done there is crime
if you drive impaired but cause no harm there is no crime -

That's how real life is, it's never just "the competitor" it's also Tony the Greaser who owns the garage and works for the Mafia and his boys like to go down to Fishers Meat Market and steal all the hams in their fancy leather jackets walking out looking like they weigh 200lbs
And you know what? Fuck Tony. I have worked for a store and knew Tony and knew my boss and i'm sure my boss would have no problem paying me, and some other store owners too like Fishers Meat market and the garage and then I take that money and tell Tony I want a pound of coke
we meet up and I shoot him in the head, take the drugs and keep the money. To me that's true capitalism.
