Turns out they are now going after employees with terminations if they even film the thefts of their stores.
Thanks to Burrola’s actions, the thieves were caught.
“Arapahoe County Sheriff’s investigators located the registered owner of the car who said he loaned it to a friend,” CBS reports. “The driver, Jorge Pantoja, 32, the man in the green shirt, was then contacted, arrested and stated he picked up two other males at the Light Rail station at I-25 and Belleview and offered them an opportunity to make some money. The men told the driver their names were Robert and Bugsy. Law enforcement is still trying to locate the other two men. Pantoja is in custody at the Adams County Detention Facility on unrelated felony charges. He has also been charged with a Class 2 Misdemeanor of Theft/Shoplifting.”
In a statement about Burrola’s firing, a King Sooper spokesperson told CBS, “We are disappointed by the increased level of crime across retail establishments and the impact these incidents have on our associates and customers. We remain committed to working in partnership with local law enforcement to address this issue, as safety remains a top priority.”
Just like Lulu Lemon. What is it with stores firing their employees for trying to combat theft? It's like they want people to steal from them... but why?
I'd guess that they think that it takes too much trouble and time to catch and attempt to prosecute petty thieves who would probably just walk anyway. Especially since there's so many of them.
If you're wondering why they're stealing laundry detergent, it's because it's easy to sell to fences, who then sell the stolen goods to normies at a "discount". Laundry detergent happens to be a popular form of currency in the drug trade.
Not even corporations are immune, as Walmart's exodus from Portland shows.
With higher interest rates and rampant crime, commercial real estate is a ticking time bomb. As more and more businesses say "fuck it," abandon their buildings and leave banks holding the bag, we will see these leftist hive cities collapse in real time.
People keep siding with the employee, but its likely he violated company policy by following them. Most of them have it in the rules you "do not chase" and let the cops deal with it. I had a store manager who said he'd fire anyone who took a single step out the door after a thief.
Its understandable to not want society to crumble at the hands of thieves, but some of these assholes pull guns. I've worked in retail back in the day and they showed us videos of stuff like that just to get the message across.
I can understand keeping your distance and filming, but this guy was up-close-and-personal. He was right behind the vehicle. The driver could've easily slammed on the gas and ran backwards over him.
he didn't just film them, he bargained with them, ripped off the licence plate cover and filmed the licence plate, and then he posted the recording on tiktok to try and get them identified. that's not just filming - that's vigilantism.
I wonder if the only reason the cops got off their asses was because the employee uploaded the vid to TikTok and made it viral. Would the cops have done anything if the employee showed it to the cops first? (Rhetorical question, I know.)
Yeah, its really a situation of "put your justice instinct aside for a moment" because logically there is no safe or good reason to try and be the hero. The company might be doing it for their selfish reasons, but they are still right about it.
Which unfortunately means that sometimes a good person trying to do a good thing gets consequences against all good reason.
The true problem here is a society where crime is so rampant and bad that cops don't have the time or energy to stomping these types.
The way they run their profession is medieval. It's a fucking guild. One of the worst managed professions. They just lionize the biggest actual cunts in the world which is why they all look like The Penguin.

What a bunch of cunts.
I would like to remind everyone that King Sooper is owned by pro-tranny Kroger.
I missed Kroger being pro tranny
Hey, if you don't report the crimes, they don't exist--sort of like the tree falling in the woods thing.
If I was the ex-employee I'd steal much more than $500 worth of something on my way out.

Corrupt district attorneys regularly pursue cases that favor the criminal and make crime fighting in any capacity a punishable offense.

May that store get everything it deserves.
Im surprised by the lack of melanin.

also, the title is misleading.

that said, do I support what he did? absolutely

Actually I'm ripped
Hey I resemble that
Unions only care about dues.
I'm sure the union delegate has an easy job somewhere and doesn't want to rock the boat by actually doing his delegate role.
