So to sum up. A shoplifter was seen to be given an excessive mauling (or drubbing or duffing) by a chap who you consider a reliable witness. You think this is OK just because...

The word 'rat' I mean, not of course a living vermin lodging in his partonymic. One can't help but speculate that if the judge at the time was more of a fan of Wind In The Willows it might have gone a bit easier on him. You never know, do you?

It's just this kind of initiative that's required on the Old Fogies thread. Soppy old sod. Honestly.

I went to Somerfield this evening, and at ?5:00 for 4 66cl bottles of Cobra lager I felt as though I was stealing from them. None of the staff assaulted me, though.

Louisa I'm missing no point, MM witnessed an incident that disturbed him, in the way that employees were apparently dealing with a person who had been allegedely stealing from the shop. No weapons on display, no threats to other shoppers that we're aware of. Just what MM reported and the indignation at what he thought was excessive behaviour and undue violence toward a supposed miscreant who was offering no fight back. Your extrapolations make no sense in the context of the original post. The connection between shoplifting and house burglary is that they are both taking something that does not belong to you. To try and suggest there is a moral equivalence between the two, which gives the right to use the same level of force in both sets of circumstances, makes no sense to me at all.
