EB Demands Payment From Victim of Theft

blincoln writes "ABC Action News is reporting that a Florida Electronics Boutique bought stolen games and gaming hardware, and made a profit on selling them back to their rightful owner, refusing to return the merchandise unless she paid them. From the article: 'EB Games still insists it will not refund Michelle's money. If she wants her money back, the company said, she can go through the legal system and get restitution from the thief.' In addition, EB appears to be violating the law by re-selling used merchandise without holding it for the required number of days. I was under the impression that purchasers of stolen merchandise could expect it to be seized by the police (who would return it to the owner) and not recover any of the money they spent buying it unless they took action against the thief. Is that not the case in Florida?"

The police are not there to help average citizens, they are there to keep those in power safe.

I am not saying this as an "average" citizen, I am one of those with some power, and I still think it is very very wrong.

This country is full of sheeple who think Bush is a great president. I think it was a major mistake to allow one party to control Washington; it is better for there to be dynamic friction to new legislation (by having congress controlled by a different party than the executive branch), for seldom is any new law or initiative good for the general population.

Where am I?

This sounds an awful lot like South Africa to me.
