Yes, you read that headline correctly. In Memphis, TN, on Wednesday, a fleeing shoplifter threw her 2-month-old nephew at loss prevention officers while she was making her escape. Apparently the female shoplifter (read: idiot, scumbag, piece of …., etc.) threw the baby, who was seated in a car carrier, at loss prevention as she made her escape from a local Walmart. The baby fell onto the concrete floor.  This all happened while mom was in the restroom. 

Officials are stating that the baby will be okay, but there is no word right now about the extent of any injuries, etc. 

All of this just to escape a shoplifting charge? These people never cease to amaze me by their absolute lack of concern for anyone or anything other than their own greedy wants. Even their own family means nothing to them. They will sacrifice anyone just to get away. This says a lot about where we are today as a society, I’m afraid. 

Our job is anything but safe, and it has always been dangerous to some degree. But in today’s world, we never know what we are going to be faced with each time we go out there to do our jobs. 

The local news story on this is here.

Anybody want to weigh in on this one?
