That security guy probably just realized that all he could do was put his finger in the dike and pray, as far as stopping the rush of goods flowing out the door, and gave up. Even if that older guy, the store manager or whoever he was, had grabbed hold of one of them, I doubt he would have been able to prevent the guy from escaping. Fear of going to prison makes even a skinny thief brave. I mean look at how flippant UNKewLyingJ got when cornered and confronted with his lies - the nervous poodle barked endlessly until he finally admitted just a small portion of his wrongs.

Yeah, it just seems to me, that if one is going to take a job as store security one should at least have an ounce of pride as to what and how much runs out the door under their watch. Not drag ass being the last one out.

I mean for fucks sake, throw a leg out and at least try to trip one of those motherfuckers up. Maybe he'd drop something that can be recovered. Maybe he'd go head first into the glass. At least that would be funny and a little payback.

Geez, we are doomed. Not by climate change or anything like that, rather, the pussification of this country in the 21st century.
