I think we should invite all the poor people in the world to come here, and then have them caddy for us, make our meals, massage our feet, etc. In return, their kids can grow up to be Americans. Everyone will be happy. What could go wrong?

I agree. Brian, when next you pay a bill , let’s call the change in your bank account inexorable. Instead of resisting the change, go with the flow, and send me some money too.

[quote=scaredycat]i guess the problem is if the shoplifter had gotten hurt or killed–or more likely, an innocent bystander had been toppled — say a fragile senior citizen who was going on a power walk around the mall — then the pursuers and their employers could ahve been the subject of lawsuits…..

it’s just stuff, after all…and the guys who do the chasing aren’t always noble do-gooders, but overeager goofballs who welcome the opportunity to chase and give a good ass-whupping, which, altough probably deserved, is not really in their job description….[/quote]

I think this merely points out the problems with an over-reach of our legal system.

If I ran that store, I should have the freedom to distinguish between employees laudably showing their altruism, or gung-ho thrillseekers looking for an excuse to get a thrill for themselves. I shouldn’t be forced by the legal system to conclude that, even if it is altruism, I have to punish it.

[quote=scaredycat]i think a warning and docking a few days pay would ahve been sufficient.[/quote]

I agree. Any company that punishes its own people for helping the community at little or no cost to the company should itself be punished. But let’s not go overboard. I think it’s sufficient if the CEO is warned and made to give up a few % of his or her bonus.
