To be blunt, I consider physical stealing to be worse than a few insulting words.


It depends on whether it was deliberate, or just an instictive response.
Given how it was worded it, I'm inclined to think it was the former, which is poor form.

Apologies, didn’t realise I had to specify something was explicitly wrong otherwise I would be condoning it. Point noted for future reference.

Calling someone an expletive is an instinctive reaction
, however using a racial slur is a conscious decision.

For example if a black person ‘mugged’ me I would probably respond with ‘you thieving c word’ that would be instinctive ‘you thieving black c word’ however is not

If a white person mugged me would I respond with ‘you thieving white c word’ ? No of course I wouldn’t

Above btw is not an attempt to bypass swear filter

Yes I did report it to store staff but they said it was LEGAL (them smoking pot) and they couldnt really do anytihng of it...

Why bother taking camera footage then?

Im sorry Paul I wasnt thinking.... I was crying and upset and as I ran across the lot,they laughed and got further away....... (If my friend wasnt waiting for me in his car and was there,I know he would have chased them and tackled them and got my money back but I am not that fast)

Well as they ran off then there was no danger there at all and they clearly weren't interested in doing you any physical harm.

While any theft is unacceptable, it was only a small amount of money and really not worth chasing them or getting yourself into bother over.

Next time someone asks for money just say I'm sorry I don't have any cash.

Yea I hear ya Stevie......

I think you were probably put in a situation you didnt expect to be in and that caused you to react in a way that not even you knew how to react.
It does not excuse any racism and ofcourse that is plain wrong but I think you have probably learned from your mistakes.


Next time I suggest just ignoring them and moving away, especially if they are smoking and dealing pot. You dont want to be anywhere near that.

No I def do not!!!!!!

Ya got that right!
