    I found a two civil cases where people were physically detained after refusing to show their receipt.

    But I’m pretty sure that isn’t a civil issue. That’s a whole bunch of crimes, involving the violence committed in the process of detaining you and the kidnapping / imprisonment itself. What happens when you call the cops and say “this person tackled me leaving the store and accused me of theft, here is my receipt”

    I mean it’s a cop so you never know, but what’s supposed to happen is that guy gets arrested for the unlawful violence he committed against you, and like definitely 1000% fired at least because every store has a policy against that shit

    I already paid, this is my stuff, they shouldn’t be able to detain me without suspicion I stole something.

    They can’t. That would be mega illegal. All they can do is ask you to stop and show your receipt, and you can just ignore them and keep walking. Or if you’re feeling extra polite, say “have a nice day” and keep walking.









  • Sincere question. Obviously France is racist as fuck and instituting (or enforcing, whichever) policies in a racist way. But I’m seeing a lot of people saying that these outfits being banned are not actually religious at all, and are only culturally popular within the cultures of the people being targeted. If that’s the case, why are they still coming to school wearing them? If I were a kid and the government suddenly decided I’m not allowed to wear blue jeans to school, I’d wear khaki pants and then meet up with my friends and say “wtf is the deal with this new policy”

    If they’re just clothes and not religious garb, why are kids still wearing them to schools which don’t allow them?


  • If you can’t behave civilly with another person you have no business swinging a sword at them. You should protest the event hosting them if you feel so strongly about it. You certainly shouldn’t be participating in the event. If you decide to show up and compete against the other person you’re already past all that, and now you need to behave civilly with them.

    The point is, sure, there are people who don’t deserve respect. But respect is a necessary prerequisite for this kind of competition. If you can’t respect your opponent you shouldn’t be competing against them. You can’t disrespect them and also compete against them, you pick one or the other.
