Lululemon employees fired after chasing robbers out of an Atlanta store and calling the police.

 

One of the suspects in the robbery. Fox Business. 

Two Atlanta Lululemon employees fired after calling police on robbers and chasing them out of the store. Fox Business. A manager and employee were present when three men began stealing clothing from the store. The two confronted the men and followed them out of the store, which was enough to get them fired. The suspects had looted the store multiple times in the past months. Lululemon said that their policy is to not follow robbery suspects.  

My Comment:

It's absurd how out of control crime has gotten these days. Why three black men would steal from Lululemon, which seems to be marketed to middle aged white women, is beyond me. I mean, they are obviously selling what they stole but who on earth would buy from them? 

It's also absurd that the employees were fired over this. They walked outside to try and get the plate number so that these criminals could finally be arrested and it cost them their jobs. I know corporate wants to avoid any possible liability of a potential injury to the employees and the criminals, but this is idiotic. Given that these thugs have gotten away with robbing this store multiple times, pretty soon the amount that has been stolen would outweigh any lawsuit. 

What is shocking to me is just how blatant this robbery is, and it's not even anything new. These criminals know they can get away with it. And why? Because even the mild actions that these employees was punished, rather severely. These criminals will never face any consequences for their actions, but the employees sure were. They did the right thing but they lost their jobs. 

In a sane world someone would have tackled these guys and held them for police. Or shoot them dead. But we don't live in a sane world. We live in a world where criminals are allowed free reign to steal and cause mayhem as much as they want. 

The other solution is heavier policing but that again is apparently not an option. Even in places that have the money to hire cops, which is not something most of the country can say, much of the country refuses to deal with crime. Black Lives Matter has taken over many prosecutors offices and mayoral offices and that means that they will refuse to deal with the issue. They essentially believe that all law enforcement against criminals is racist and as long as they are in charge the problem will remain. 

Sooner or later enough will be enough. People are getting sick of crime and so are these corporations. It's why so many stores are shutting down in lawless cities like San Francisco. If Republicans are smart they will make crime a major focus of their 2024 election because this stuff simply can't be allowed to continue like this. Eventually criminals have to get punished again.
