Are you saying that it's common for store owners to be set on fire by shoplifters, or is your example inappropriate for being an outlier and not representative

  It's becoming more common now as store owners are left on their own and have to protect their livelihood with their bare hands. Big box retail (no worries, all insured - remember that BS line?) is simply closing stores and killing jobs AND access to goods in one go. Cue the complaint about "food deserts". Walmart closed in Portland. WALMART which operates throughout hurricanes cannot handle the rampant violence and theft anymore. But yeah, total ignorance from the bougie class toward the plight of blue collar Americans. Here is a Sikh store owner beating the shit out of a robber, because vigilante justice is all that is left: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12381031/7-Eleven-owners-ASSAULT-thief-stealing-cigarettes-store-stockton-california.html https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12381031/7-Eleven-o...
