I am tired of them calling rampaging hordes of people smashing display cases open with sledgehammers as their friends beat store workers "Shoplifters." This goes way beyond shoplifting, It is a new form of crime though, no doubt. They also use modern technology without fear of being traced. The often coordinate by text messaging, 30 people with pipes and heavy duty tools rampaging through a business is not shoplifting, that is like watching Vikings loot, pillage, and burn a village and saying "There go them shoplifters again." This is not directed at the poster or anyone here, it is the news, from FOX to MSNBC on cable and all the radio reports plus youtube videos.
A shoplifter steaks a soda, or puts an item under their coat and usually does not fight when confronted, with exceptions of course. This new trend is organized and if it grows will cause tremendous economic damage.

Text messaging kills people driving cars everyday so why not just get rid of it completely? Its not a necessity and we all survived just fine without it when cell phones didn't have text messaging.
