I always b...h at my wife when I see her pop a grape or two at Publix. I can assure you, I would never bail her out.

That happened to me just tonight. She was eating the grapes...walked out, two of Lady Lakes laziest were in the parking lot (one was off of Rio Grand this morning sleeping in his squad car at about 5am by the pool). Well, I about turned her in for the theft of no less than six grapes...I wonder if they can taze her for that?

This story is all they've got. It's a sleaze publication. Sleaze sells. |

I don't think it is a sleaze publication.
It publishes everything that happens. And it publishes pictures. For years people complained because they didn't name names in The Villages Sun. There are few among us that wouldn't buy milk for a young man who was truly hungry. But my children would have learned far younger that you don't "take" things from a store. I was on my own at his age. Working. Buying my own milk, with enough impulse control to wait until I had paid for it to drink it.

I doubt Walmart would have called the police if the man, not boy, was just drinking the milk in the store before paying for it. I regularly pick up a soda and drink it while shopping, and pay for it as I check out. I seriously doubt the deputy would have arrested the boy if it was questionable that he did not intend to pay for the drink. You're making an issue based on non-fact based assumptions. Was he observed drinking the milk, then throwing the container in a trash can? Did he try walking out of the store, already past the checkout counters? Did he have any money on him, when questioned by the deputy? Who are you to accuse Walmart of wrongful enforcement of shoplifting when you don't know the facts and it isn't your property being stolen?

No story about the guy around the block. As the neighbors said, it wont be "reported" on. They were right. It is however funny to see all the neighbors out in their lawn chairs watching. Sorta like a block party.
The other guy - there were even people calling TV to have him tossed out of TV. I want to say they had a petition even. He was in the "News" time and again, and thus convicted by false comments on other sites about him being "A felon living with his parents"...um, no, not at all the case. But, back to the kid with the milk. Sooooooo much conjecture. No one knows the reality, that however does not prevent internet hero's from convicting a person with out any knowledge of facts nor intent. As has been stated, it is not theft until he trys to leave with out paying....but, lets all put his name and image out there... |

Oh. I didn't realize it was chocolate milk. I never pay for drinks at the convenience store. I just wave to the clerk as I leave with my drink. After all, I AM thirsty. Who wouldn't give a thirsty person a drink, right?

I have a hard time with the choice of the word "boy".

The article only said the boy was observed drinking the milk while walking around the store. It did not say he ditched the container or tried walking out of the store or if he had money or a debit card on him that would pay the $1.54. The facts, as reported, do not add up to shoplifting. If there IS more to the story, as you suggest, it would be good to see it reported in the online paper. |
