350-pound shoplifter who attacked employees got laid out in one punch by a mysterious stranger.

bystanders reported that a nearby Detective Nick Valentine appeared to be "agitated" by the incident

Employees are like "dude that's hosed, they take that out of our paycheck (I don't actually know this but :911:)" and then the other guy, complete stranger, walks up and flattens the massive guy with one punch.

That one Canadian judge talks about it in similar terms. It's like they think the legal system is vulnerable to SQL injection or cheat codes, and if they just put the right words in in the right order, or trick someone else into doing so, they'll unlock invulnerability and free money and invisibility and noclip. And that all of the successful people in the world aren't actually successful and lucky, they just know how to cheat correctly.

This is one of my favs from 2012

https://www.canlii.org/en/ab/abqb/doc/2012/2012abqb571/2012abqb571.html

The best starts in Section IV of the ruling.

quote:

[76] So where is that Mr. Meads (all capitals)? At one point in the June 8 hearing Mr. Meads said that Mr. Meads (all capitals) was a “corporate entity” attached to his birth certificate. Later, he told me that the other Mr. Meads was a “person” - and that I had created him! Again, total nonsense.

[77] The bluntly idiotic substance of Mr. Mead’s argument explains the unnecessarily complicated manner in which it was presented. OPCA arguments are never sold to their customers as simple ideas, but instead are byzantine schemes which more closely resemble the plot of a dark fantasy novel than anything else. Latin maxims and powerful sounding language are often used. Documents are often ornamented with many strange marking and seals. Litigants engage in peculiar, ritual‑like in court conduct. All these features appear necessary for gurus to market OPCA schemes to their often desperate, ill‑informed, mentally disturbed, or legally abusive customers. This is crucial to understand the non-substance of any OPCA concept or strategy. The story and process of a OPCA scheme is not intended to impress or convince the Courts, but rather to impress the guru’s customer.

[78] Mediaeval alchemy is a helpful analogue. Alchemists sold their services based on the theatre of their activities, rather than demonstrated results, or any analytical or systematic methodology. OPCA gurus are modern legal alchemists. They promise gold, but their methods are principally intended to impress the gullible, or those who wish to use this drivel to abuse the court system. Any lack of legal success by the OPCA litigant is, of course, portrayed as a consequence of the customer’s failure to properly understand and apply the guru’s special knowledge.

I sometimes wonder if that's what keeps people trying various sovcit bullshit. The actual law is full of strange verbiage and stranger logic, and people can convince themselves they've discovered some top-secret instruction set they can use to crash the system. I mean, Captain Kirk could talk a computer to death using its own logic against it, why shouldn't they be able to do the same to the powerful-but-byzantine system they're up against?

I watched a shitload of shoplifters get away back when I did retail and never once did it get taken out of my check as a cashier. There were more than enouh reasons to hate the job, but that wasn’t one of them.

Legally, in the US, they can not take out money out of your paycheck for shoplifting or the drawer being short.

Doesn't stop the companies from doing that, though.

When I worked retail they told us to not leave the store to try to stop people that shoplifted. There's apparently legal repercussions. You either try to prevent them from leaving the store with the items, otherwise you just tell the manager or call the cops.

When they attempt these types of shenanigans, what legal authority do they believe they are appealing to? What institutions do they believe will honor their incantations? I have, personally, never seen an example of this poo poo working.

I used to be a car salesman and while I'd heard stories about this I never actually saw it. They told me during my training period that if somebody asked about "promissory notes" we were just supposed to say we dont accept IOU's as payment.

Like with the anti-feminists I'm pretty sure these guys started out in the atheism debate, where one logic hole can actually spiral out and bring the whole thing down; unfortunately, most real topics don't work that way. Additionally these folks seem convinced that simply finding the logical problem is sufficient. I'm reminded of the stories from the MtG thread where people would learn what the one-move-win combos are and then never learn, or forget, why they work, then be unable to actually execute the win if their opponent didn't recognise the combo and fold immediately. Except these guys don't even have a winning move.

No, there are plenty of cowardly people in the world who that poo poo works on. Imagine the dude who walks in on the chess tournament cheater in that goon story, who goes all decorum on the screaming referee about assuming good faith and hearing the person out. Now a judge is probably hardened to that poo poo and power tripping as well and won't be the mark they're looking for, but the bad faith technicality arguing probably works on little day to day things on people immediately around them in their life. It's just a textbook form of mental abuse is all.
