So for you two human rights activists (gottabekd and VanCity). If I break into your house looking to steal something, and in the process, end up falling through the window and breaking my jaw and chipping a tooth and can't chew properly anymore, would you be alright with it if I sued you personally for damages?
How about if you caught me with your TV in my hands, and you tackled me, and we fell down your stairs, and the same result, I broke my jaw, chipped my tooth, and now I couldn't enjoy my Timmy's breakfast sandwiches anymore, would you appreciate the fact that I am now suing you for as much money as I possibly can get?
Are you two from BC by chance?

So, shoplifting some razor blades - what is that worth, 3 punches and 2 boots to the head? Would a shive be OK? What is your scale?
It isn't the manager or the security guard's job or right to decide the punishment.
I personally don't think the shoplifter should benefit, but I also don't think if you catch a criminal you have a free pass to take out your frustrations on him.
The penalty was warranted, but I think the money should go to charity, not the shoplifter.
