Brickbat: Do This, Don't Do That

After the fifth shoplifting incident, Rob Davies put up a sign in the window of his vintage clothing store in Wales, calling the thieves "scumbags." After receiving a complaint from a member of the public, police visited the store and told Davies to take the sign down because it could cause offense. Speaking to The Times, Davies expressed frustration with the police's handling of the situation, saying he no longer reports thefts because they do not take them seriously.

Twat if Rob Davies and his employees chanted, at the thieves, "You're NOT being very nice!" Would THAT be allowed, or might that, too, cause offense?

I also wonder if shit would be allowed to take pictures of the thieves (ideally caught in the act) off of security cameras, and post them on the internet? Also, is it allowed for stores to track the thieves in a common-pool shared-data operation, and block them from entering? Facial-ID "tech" COULD work, if shit is SNOT married to Government-Almighty stupidity!

The faggot that complained as well as the constabulary that visited regarding the sign are all cock sucking bitches.

Go woke, go broke.

Good way of putting it; there are times when only the description "cock sucking bitches" will suffice [and this is one of them].

Offense to the scumbag community will not be tolerated.

Britain, where the authorities are more concerned about the negative reaction of the law abiding to crime than the criminals committing crimes.

Hence the raising of the colors.

King Charles is a scumbag

What's new? Philadelphia passed a law stating that stores were not allowed to place protective barriers at cash registers to protect employees. Their reason was that the barriers were racist.

But flag desecration is completely legal in the UK, same as The Netherlands, so as long as you don't burn a Quran in protest without permission, or put up a sign calling thieves scumbags, the culture and heritage of Western Liberalism intact and unblemished.

Lie back and think of trans-gender, Sharia law, nanny state England! (or Wales)

[Minadin]

Anyone offended by the sign should be arrested on suspicion of theft.

because it could cause offense.

To whom???

[mad.casual]

+1 All the self-respecting scumbags got out of Wales 20 yrs. ago.

It is truly at the level of thought crimes over there.

That is the work of Arty's "betters."

The cops are hired by looter party politicians "elected" where Nixon-style government subsdies are handed to looter party candidate campaigns--and ONLY looter party candidate campaigns. Remember that when a government form says "raise your own tax by checking this campaign subsidies box," then act surprised when that increases shoplifting and burglaries.
