However, their intentions went beyond theft.<\/p>\n<p>The incident unfolded when the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/apple-nordstrom-stores-hit-in-last-minute-smash-and-grab-robbery-in-california\/\" title=\"Apple, Nordstrom Stores Hit in Last Minute Smash-and-Grab Robbery in California\">group entered<\/a>\u200c the Walgreens store, with only one of them wearing sunglasses.<\/p>\n<p>Upon leaving, one of\u2062 the teens who initially \u200ddidn&#8217;t have sunglasses was now\u2062 wearing\u2062 a pair. \u2062A female Walgreens employee in her 60s confronted\u2062 the\u200b adult and requested payment for the sunglasses, but her\u2064 request was \u2064met with refusal. Subsequently,\u200b two of the teenagers reentered the\u200c store.<\/p>\n<p>One of the teens grabbed a Sprite and sprayed it in the employee&#8217;s face, \u2062but the employee managed to shield herself. \u2062Disturbing video footage captured one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/walgreens-employee-gets-a-brutal-surprise-after-trying-to-stop-shoplifters\/\" title=\"Walgreens worker shocked by brutal surprise while attempting to halt shoplifters.\">teenagers repeatedly punching<\/a> the\u2064 employee in the face\u200c outside the store.\u200b The force\u2064 of the attack caused the woman\u200d to \u200bfall to the ground, hitting her head \u200don the concrete.

Police are discouraged from pursuing criminals, and store employees have limited authority to take action.<\/p>\n<p>When\u200b lawlessness \u2063goes unchecked, it breeds more lawlessness. Criminals become emboldened when they realize \u200dthat authorities won&#8217;t intervene, leading to \u200ban increase in\u2064 violent crimes like the one witnessed here.<\/p>\n<p>Even \u2064in states like Missouri, where laws are still enforced, a prevailing disregard for the rule of law contributes to more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bipartisan-alarm-sounds-over-bidens-plan-to-cancel-student-loan-debt\/\" title=\"Bipartisan Alarm Sounds Over Biden\u2019s Plan to Cancel Student Loan Debt\">young people turning<\/a> to crime.<\/p>\n<p>In this case, the store employee believed she could prevent these criminals from breaking the law, only to discover that\u2063 these teenagers \u200chave no respect\u200c for it\u2062 whatsoever.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not entirely surprising\u2062 that they hold this attitude towards the\u2063 law. \u2062When even fundamental laws, \u2064such as immigration laws, are disregarded by those in power, it becomes natural for other laws to be ignored \u200bas well.<\/p>\n<p>Once\u2064 you justify ignoring one law, it becomes easier to justify disregarding\u2063 others repeatedly.<\/p>\n<p>Local \u2063authorities must take more action to empower the police to respond to these crimes, and store employees need to be given the tools to prevent them.<\/p>\n<p>The solution is simple \u2013 the \u2062more \u2062consistently\u2063 laws are enforced, \u2063the less likely people are \u200cto break them.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/walgreens-employee-gets-brutal-surprise-trying-stop-shoplifters\/\">The Western Journal<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Police in Missouri are seeking suspects involved in a violent shoplifting incident at Walgreens.
