David Golson, the man who was accused of swiping a Snickers bar from a Brooklyn 7-Eleven last year and was stripped, bitten and detained by store employees, is suing the Flatbush establishment and the building owners in a lawsuit filed in Bronx Supreme Court.
...
Despite his repeated requests to be released and his claims of innocence, defendants through its employees pulled, hit, bit and stripped plaintiff of almost all of his clothes with the exception of his underpants, shoes and socks the lawsuit states, according to Courthouse News. "All of this was being recorded on the store's video surveillance camera, which shows that plaintiff was not resisting but merely pleading to be released even as his clothes were being torn off of his body

Someone stole my Iphone & if I had found them I would bit & kicked & much more. I hate theives so he should have kept his hands off of the merchandise.

(coppertop):
Is it terrible that I find this hilarious...I hate a thief. He got what he deserved, yes the biting was extreme but I bet he won't try to steal from another 7-11 again.

He shouldnt be stealing, I dont feel sorry for him

The biting was a bit extreme but if I was on the jury I wouldn't grant him one dollar

What they did is ILLEGAL. Even if they did suspect him of stealing, concealing alone is not proof of theft. You actually have to allow to customer to walk past the cash registers and out of the door before you can attempt to legally detain him.

Dude's hand barely brushed up against the handle before they ambushed him and publicly stripped him. Oh, and plus the biting? For a $1.50? Yeah, they're going to lose. Phantom Snicker and all.

Are we really taking up for a thief?

In the end, had he not been trying to steal none of this would have happened

I hope you're not a small business owner (with this mindset)

We can agree to disagree but I hope this guy doesn't get a dime

I'd obviously be a bias juror as I've had my car and home burglarized before so I have no sympathy for a grown able bodied man trying to steal a candy bar

So what if he got bit......DONT STEAL
