The story and the discussion is about security guards and store managers right to whip some guy's ass because he stole some razorblades in broad daylight in a grocery store.

I'm not sure how I am arguing with myself? My point was the same as a few others on here, that a person in the process of committing a crime shouldn't be allowed to receive compensation for injuries they sustain during the act of the crime. Sure, if the security and management went beyond the point that was legal, then yes maybe they should be charged.
You guys make the shoplifter sound like the victim, it's like defending Jarkko Ruttuu beause he's been punched in the head after slu footing a guy after the whistle.
We're talking about private property, and a person committing a crime, a scenario they created, during which they got hurt, and recieved compensation. Is it any different on my property, or a store's, somebody owns it.
