Robbery at Apple California

Nobody should risk their safety to protect Apple profits. Let the police deal with it later.

Thats fair and I certainly wouldn't be doing anything unless it looked like at least a couple other people would be joining me. I think the point of the comment is that even if a quarter of the people there had stood up they could have easily stopped it without anyone getting seriously hurt.
 
That is disheartening. I detest that sort of behavior.

On the other hand, I've seen videos (and of course anecdotes) of dudes who will step up and put on the cape at the slightest offense to defend a woman's honor, in some cases, even a stranger.

I suppose both have occurred. I think the biggest factor is ONE person being the catalyst, by stepping up and the rest of the people usually follow suit. It's a psychological phenomenon and usually something I teach. Nonetheless, I would put this example and the OP in entirely different tiers/categories.

I guess.
Im too tired to argue.
 
The issue is, the loss gets put on the consumer as the prices increase. Store employees should be able to baseball bat the scum right in the face.

I'm all for thieves getting assaulted, but that could easily lead to someone getting shot trying to protect Apple.

If it's your own business, have at it, but I don't think you should expect your minimum wage employees to be prepared to throw down to protect your shit.
 
it has, I remember reading how pornhub had to delete a ton of videos because of rape and stuff a few years ago.

Yeah, it's a shitty world sometimes sir.
 
Look I don't care about Apple whatsoever, it's the mentality that worries me.
If a girl was getting raped in the middle of the mall, there would be a hundred people walking by so they didn't get involved...and that my friend, is a scary thought.
lol There are mall cops to handle that my friend.

What would you have done Batman?

You're looking at it as protecting Apple, but it's more about doing the right thing.
 
Someone just posted a video on here of a girl getting slept by a big dude in the street and all she was trying to do was stop them from stomping on her already unconscious bf....know what happened?

Nothing...a bunch of Ohhhhhs.
Not a single person tried to help her sir.
Hardly rape though init?
 
Oh, we were arguing? I thought we were having a friendly discussion.
No we're not sir, but we will have an intelligent discussion and I will have to argue with 20 tards with their shitty takes and attitudes lol.

Me and you will always be cool.
If you want to talk about it still im down, just PM me lol

Is it the right thing to put yourself in danger to stop someone stealing something? The right thing would be to call the police, but I don't think we should expect the average non-Sherdogger to intervene.
 
Looks like the Palo Alto store on University Ave. I wonder if the devices have 'find my device' activated. I'm sure apple could set up all devices to disable outside of the store except for the device location finding service.

R.I.P. thieves.
I read a response from an Apple employee who said the floor display merchandise basically becomes bricked once it leaves the store's wifi range. Also mentioned its not worth risking your life over merchandise. That can be replaced. A life cannot.

No biggie, I wasn't really that passionate about it, just offering my perspective.

Have armed security at the door, they do it at convenience stores in a lot of areas now.
If we keep allowing things like this and turned a blind eye to them, they will happen more and more. Letting it go on can easily lead to people getting shot as well. The thieves can start robbing the customers as well or at the least attempting to and that can lead to altercations. I am not letting a criminal rifle through my pockets because the apple employee says it is ok and to just let them do it.

Then don't buy into inflated product prices? Or go fight crime at your local Apple store to save 10 bucks.

Also - They'd be baseball batting eachother first.

I think its the right thing to do to make people feel safe in what is supposed to be the "best country".
I think people should be allowed to go shopping without having to deal with cunts like that...yes sir I do.

I think the more people do nothing the more it will continue to have and with more brazen crimes because they know they have carte blanche to do as they please with no repercussions.
