If your store is being robbed over and over again and the police seem to refuse to help you, obtain a big stick and wait patiently for the right moment.
This from frontpagemag.com.
Unfortunately—in a pro-crime system—committing crimes is not a crime, and resisting criminals is, in fact, the only real crime. So, what is a shopkeeper to do?
The video of 7-Eleven Sikh workers standing up and fighting back against a criminal who was boldly looting the store even as they were being told that they should shut up and take it has gone viral.
And now the police are investigating the workers for stopping a criminal.
The video below is well worth the time to watch:

Here comes the investigation:
Stockton police said they are investigating the assault of a 7-Eleven robbery suspect by two workers and say the suspected thief is believed to have robbed the store two other times within the same 24-hour period.
Video of the July 29 assault has gained national attention. In the more than five-minute clip, a man can be seen emptying shelves of cigarettes and other products from the store’s shelves before the clerks step in to stop him. The clip shows one of the clerks pinning the man down while another beats the would-be thief with what appears to be a pole.
Stockton police said in an update Saturday that they were aware of two other reports of early morning robberies at the 7-Eleven location involving the same suspected thief, one on July 28 and another on July 29.
Police said that on July 28 at 3:41 a.m., a 7-Eleven worker reported the suspect going behind the counter and threatening to shoot the clerk if he intervened. The suspect then took several packs of cigarettes in a large garbage bag before fleeing.
On July 29 at 12:27 a.m., a 7-Eleven worker reported the suspect demanding money at the store while simulating that he had a handgun. When the worker didn’t comply, the suspect grabbed food items and put them in a garbage bag before leaving, police said.
At some point later in the morning, the man is believed to have returned to the store, police said. That’s when the beating captured in the viral video took place.
They said that after their investigation concludes, they will forward the findings to the San Joaquin County district attorney for review.
Final thoughts: Standing up to criminals can be enjoyable, even stress relieving. But in pro-crime cities and states, anticipate there will be an investigation. No, not because your store has been robbed over and over again, rather because you stood up for yourself.
