The original post was about one shoplifter. Nobody is suggesting that the shoplifter wasn't totally in the wrong, or that there may be issues with what shop staff and security guards can or can't do in this and similar situations. However a description of a woman which includes only skin colour and perceived age is problematic in my view. -

Why jump on the OP more than the shoplifter? It is pretty crap to just walk in to a shop and blatantly steal stuff and it does seem to be happening more often which is depressing. I've witnessed it several times in the last couple of years sometimes with groups of shoplifters who rush in and quickly steal a whole load of stuff. It does seem to me to be becoming more common. It's particularly galling when it's stealing non essential stuff like beer unless the person is an alcoholic and not being done because of poverty and hunger. All it does is put the prices up for those that pay and encourage others to just take stuff too. I guess the OP just wanted to share their anger. Not sure what a lone security guard can do which is also depressing because if there's no consequence for thieves then such behaviour will inevitably increase. ☹️ -
That description could apply to many people. Why have you said what her skin colour was but not what she was wearing? What do you think will be achieved by posting this on here? If you think the security man should have stopped her, would it not be more constructive to complain to the Co-op? And what has one shoplifter got to do with "the state of this country"? There have always been thieves.
