Highly Paid Doctor Gets Nabbed Shoplifting From Target

Or, she 'made' over a quarter million a year.

Amateur.

Is she a great big fat person?

Sad, this is mental illness.

R3- DL's favorite

GREAT BIG FAT PERSON is

her

Not in NYC area or Los Angeles but in New Mexico $286,000 one can live VERY well on that salary. She's obviously a Kleptomaniac.

In other news in NYC or San Francisco stealing up to $900 worth of merchandise. is perfectly legal now that we have the legalization of theft in certain parts of the USA.

R6 You can live very well on 286K in NYC. Inflation ain’t that crazy. However that amount of money in New Mexico makes you rich.

Mental illness. Sad.

People who steal for the thrill of it aren't exactly rare. Whether it's a "mental illness" or not, I don't feel sorry for her.

Please dont lie, r6, lest we start imitating some of the most ugly charcheristics of the right wing. It's still illegal and prosecutable. It's just not a felony. And it's $950.

One way larger retailers try to get around this is tracking suspected shoplifters via camera, noting the merchandise they take. And they are stupid enough to make return trips. Once they tick above $950 they're arrested and can be charged with a felony.

And this being California, the Proposition state, don't be surprised if there's a ballot initiative to change the law.

Meanwhile, someone around the corner is being folded, spindled and mutilated; will the cops respond?

People like her are a major reason why the rest of us are paying such high prices. We have to make up for what these idiots steal.

[quote] She's obviously a Kleptomaniac.

Clearly. Every criminal act happens as a result of a sociological, psychological or psychiatric condition but it's still a crime and needs to be addressed as such.

I missed the other big ol' lie in r6's post, "legislation of theft." (I'd stopped reading when it said stealing under $900 worth of merchandise is "perfectly legal.") No it was not legislated. If it's not clear from the preview at r10, the voters of the State of California passed a proposition changing the criminal code. And it can be reversed.

I understand telling blatant lies works on Fox News, Facebook, and Trump rallies where the feeble-minded and credulous gather, but why attempt such inanity on Datalounge where the collective IQ is well above the mean?

I used to work with a woman who was ultimately exposed for stealing & as R13 aptly noted, most crime has roots in disorders, which doesn't make it any less a crime, but still...you felt sad for her because like overeating or drinking, she did it for the thrill/momentary high, but then felt ultimately ashamed of it. That said, is this person (ahem) looked different or didn't come an elite class of people, I don't think most people would feel much sympathy

[quote] she did it for the thrill/momentary high

She didn’t do it for the lulz?

Agree, R4. I'm ambivalent about these body cams used to shame people publicly like this. It becomes fodder for entertainment, and I'm participating in it. Bit ashamed of myself for it.
