    I think you just asked him.

    Maybe, but I really didn't intend to.  I know that there is no way that he could or should tell anyone anything related to that sort of information.  We, as fans, like to say things like "Oli has lost the clubhouse", but we don't know shit about fuck.  

    Hmmm.....  (here's some speculating)  Maybe Beau Vine not commenting on what his buddy may be feeling says a lot.  Or, maybe his buddy hasn't said anything to him.  Who knows.

    This will go over real well:

     

    He's such a fake tough guy.

    ETA;  Fuck!  I can't just let it go.  He didn't even answer the fucking question.  What's your reaction to the fans being frustrated?  Well, we're more frustrated than they are!  It's not a dick measuring contest, you moron.  This guy is starting to remind me of a passive-aggressive coach that once roamed the sidelines in Austin.

    I agree. Mo has done the job that Dewitt asked him to do. I believe that for Mo to get fired, he would have to “lose” the minor league system pipeline. He is getting butts in seats, which is what Dewitt pays him to do.

    At the end of the day, Oli is the fall guy. And I agree that he is not really suited for the job. I am not sure what he is good at in terms of being a manger.

    Another fall guy will be Girsch. I am not sure what he does to be honest.

    Yeah, Girsch is definitely another fall guy.  We all know that Mo and Dewitt are essentially the same person.  The POBO title for Mo didn't come with any change of duties, just a newer, fancier title.  Girsch is basically what George Costanza was for the Yankees.  He's Mo's secretary/fall guy.

    Do y'all really think MO is on the hot seat?  

    No, but he should be.  Marmol will end up being the fall guy, although I believe he is in way over his head.  The Cardinals have hired yes men the last couple of hires.  Shildt grew a spine and wanted to shitcan Jeff Albert and Mo wouldn't hear it, so they fired him instead*.  Then Marmol is hired and he is definitely a yes man.  They (Mo and Dewitt) need their yes man and fall guy for when the penny pinching bites them in the ass.

     

    * At least that's how I want to believe it went down.

    I love how the wife waited until the 4th guy jumped in to announce that she was calling the cops. I bet he told her to call them before he went out there. 

    What was she supposed to do, just quit in the middle of a level in Candy Crush?

    Yeah I agree. There's just tons of nuance here. I definitely thing there's a difference between an employee at a chain store like this goober and a small business mom and pop shop owner. The single small business has a much lower threshold for loss before it bankrupts their business and takes away their livelihood. That's a big problem. 

    And then there's merit to the notion if you're dumb enough to rob a gun store then what can you expect? Darwin award nominee for sure in this case. I personally don't believe what this guy did should be legal in this case though. 

    I just wish the people in charge of legislating this actually cared about doing it the best way possible and not just pandering for votes.

    Good points, all of them.  I'm not going to watch the video either, as I have no desire to see a human being killed.  I wonder if this was a crime of opportunity.  Did he go into the store with the intention of robbing it, or was the register open and he saw an opportunity.  Stupid, no doubt, but not the same level of stupid as going into a gun store intent on robbing it.  

    Your points prior are good to bring up.  What is the small family owned business supposed to do?  Insurance only covers so much.  Are police able to do anything about it?  Where I live has a population of about 10K.  At least a couple of times a week our police department is posting "help us locate this individual" still photos from Walmart and QT security video of people in the act of walking out the doors with unpaid merchandise.  That appears to be the extent of what they do.  I have no idea what it's like for the small business owner, but it can't be good.

    So the line is you can use force to protect your property as long as they haven't left your premises and they must be at least partially facing you? 

    When looked at in isolation of just one instance then yes this seems completely insane. But where we draw the line has to take in consideration the entire scope of the problem. So if this guy walks into your store and steals $100 worth of merchandise or cash five days a week you should just let him run away every time? What if he's young, big, and strong and the shop owner is old and small with zero chance to physically overpower him? What should their recourse be?

    Situation dictates, to be honest.  If the person was facing me and had a weapon, they are walking away with whatever they have.  My life is simply not worth a bit of cash.  If they didn't have a weapon, I'm still not sure what I'd do.  I'm not Billy Badass.  I was a Marine, but I'm self-aware enough to know that I don't know. 

    If I'm not the store owner, I'm not trying to stop anyone from stealing anything.  I'm trying to do as told and live another day.  If it's my house and my family is there, I'm sure that my actions would be far different.  Hopefully I never have to find out what I'd do in a situation like that.

    It’s flat out murder either way you sociopath

    Yeah, first situation, if I happen to even know that they are there at 2AM, I'm turning on an inside light and waiting/watching to see what they do.  I can also tell you that if someone broke into my outbuilding and was in the process of taking anything from it, they can have it.  I'm endangering my family over "stuff".  If they try to break into the house, that's a different story.

    This is a tough situation with no good answers. The thing is at what point do you allow a property owner to use force to protect their property? Where is the line? 

    The national retail federation is claiming there's a theft epidemic happening in the US and that theft is increasing at a high rate compared to previous years. The problem is law enforcement doesn't keep accurate statistics on this so there's no good data to go off that would qualify for scientific analysis. All we have is the word of retailers and spotty reports that aren't carefully taken or kept because law enforcement gives small theft cases almost zero priority past taking a report. 

    First we need to know the scope of the problem related to previous generations before we can accurately try to find solutions. But because 21st century Idiocracy America exists that won't be done. 

    I'm just a layman, but once the person has left the store and is no longer a threat, I for one don't think that they should be shot in the back.
