Yeah, tragic all the way around thanks to Gov. Snakeoil who allowed the charges for robbery to be dropped for a theft if less than $900. This emboldened robbers to just go into stores and steal without consequences.

Unfortunately this thief got existential consequences. As a side note, maybe security officers should invest in a Byrna.
