Irene Swaine Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 Protests were held today after a 31 year old woman appeared to be choked by a shopkeeper, who accused her of theft when she allegedly took items from his store after he refused her a refund. Footage shows the shopkeeper's hands over the woman's neck and she tries to strike him with a shopping basket. My thoughts are both people were in the wrong. Firstly, the shopkeeper should have agreed to refund if there was a fault with the product. The woman should have taken out a consumer law case against him, instead of taking goods. She should not have slapped him and tried to hit him with a basket. However, he should NOT have put his hands around her neck. That is inexcusable behaviour.

Al Bundy Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 If someone was trying to steal something of mine I wouldn't care where my hands go. Looks like he put his hands on her neck for a couple of seconds then restrained her. Good on him. Didn't take long for the yoofs to start protesting outside the poor owners shop. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I consider that any unwanted touch is a liberty, but if people misbehave, then they have to live with the consequences. Serves her right and I usually defend women.
