Look up:
Meijer, Inc. v. Franklin County Court of Common Pleas.
In this case, a security guard went ham on some poor fucker, body slammed him and made him a quadriplegic.
Dude won 12m dollars from meijer.
He had brought in some batteries to see if meijer carried the same type. When he put the batteries back in his pocket and walked out the door, he got made a quadriplegic because of some dumb fucking security guard.
OVER SOME FUCKING BATTERIES
This was a landmark case that completely rewrote the way security guards handle shoplifters at almost every retail store in the country.
Somehow, shockingly, again, in 2017, the same thing happened at another mile, which I found searching for this case.
I think it was landmark case not because of the amount of the judgment, but because of the way retailers reacted to it. Definitely I think the judgment was an absolute bullshit wrist slap and they should have paid well over 50m.
I think you’re arguing extremes here (ie strawman). No one is saying we should be WWE smack shoplifters to the ground. But the other extreme is encouraging shoplifting.
What did I say about encouraging shoplifting? I’m providing the legal basis for the corporate policy of ignoring shoplifting. Sorry it wasn’t clear enough to understand.

Apparently, Meijer can’t learn a fucking lesson.
I don’t know $12 million in exchange for losing the ability to move at all. I think Meijer got off with a wrist slap.
