Classic bigotry. You think that the fact that some, or even many, or even most, Indians are drunks and thieves entitles to you assume that any Indian you see is a drunk and a thief.


Actually the drunks and thieves among Indians is the minority.
On average I think Indians are more trustworthy than whites.


Whites are much more concerned with amassing wealth.

These days it's pill junkies and thieves.

Yep....and 2200 of the 2500 serial killers in the world were from the USA....go figure!

I guess they are the only ones keeping tabs?

That might have as much to do with an efficient police force and justice system or perhaps the reverse. (Are all the 2200 in prison the right guys?)

These days it's pill junkies and thieves.


I find it quite sad that there appears to be a widespread obsession with altering the mind.

What are the basic details of this case?

The best I can tell is this:

A man walks up to the cashier with a chainsaw. The box has bar oil and a replacement chain in it. He gets caught, and walks aways mumbling that he wanted a different change saw. An employee - who was probably not properly trained to deal with the situation - chase's him down. Has a heated exchange with the guy where some racist comments were used and should not have been.

Final outcome: employee loses his job, and no charges are pressed against the man because technically he didn't break the law. No crime was committed because he didn't leave the store with unpaid product.

Do I got the story correct?

Pretty much the way I interpreted it. So it sounds like he brought an old saw into the store. He would have been wise to bring the sales slip with it.

Yup. He got caught and made it a racial "whitie caught me again because they target Injuns" sob story.

It was a new saw and he was trying to steal an extra bar and chain by stuffing it in the new saw's box.

getting caught was racially motivated.

Legally, he is innocent, because this is a case where intent is not the same as theft. We all know what his intent was.

One angle I haven't seen discussed, is the employee adequately trained to deal with such a stressful situation?

This reminds me of the case where a school bus driver used the F word while breaking up a fight between two teens. She was fired but imo she was inadequately trained to deal with such a stressful situation.

That's because the media presented the whole story as racial profiling instead of presenting the facts.

Loss Prevention targets the Hutties too. Nothing racial there if an Injun loss prevention person catches a Hutterite.

Those light-fingered Hutterites are an issue, are they? Just like those roving bands of Mennonite thugs?

It just makes sense!


Canadian Tire worker who threw out Indigenous man accused of theft no longer an employee

A Canadian Tire employee seen getting physical with an Indigenous customer refusing to leave a store in Regina is no longer with the company, a spokesperson says.

"The employee involved in the matter has not been working in the store since the time of the incident and he is no longer with Canadian Tire," said Joscelyn Dosanjh, the company's manager of corporate communications, in an emailed statement to CBC News Saturday.

Dosanjh did not specify the circumstances around the employee's departure and whether the employee resigned or was fired.

Videotaped tussle

Kamao Cappo, an Indigenous elder, said he was shopping for a chainsaw when the employee accused him of stealing.

Cappo disagreed and refused to leave the store. He posted two videos to social media that show the exchange with the worker growing increasingly heated.

At one point, the employee is seen pushing Cappo up against a shelf. He then pushed him toward the exit, with Cappo sliding on his feet.

"We have attempted to reach Mr. Cappo again this morning to express our sincere apologies. We wish to again state that we have taken this matter very seriously," Dosanjh's statement read.

I just reread the O.P. and watched the video but failed to see any act of theft or attempted theft, but I thought the store employee was acting like a real assHole.

With the security footage they have they should apply facial recognition and a big electronic screen when you come in where a vid of your last theft is played for you to watch as well as anybody else who can see the screen.
If the employee is security he should be on the outside of the store rather than wandering around inside the store as that is where the thieves make their appearance and then you should be able to use some sort force should he resist being arrested.

Perhaps introduce a 'Pay and Release' program.

I just watched the same video, and it is clear that the man knew that he could only be charged with theft if he had stepped outside of the store.

Also, I don't see any misconduct from the store employee, no racial slurs at all, he behaved like a gentleman bouncer at any bar.
