"How sad for them...I don't expect that Judge Pearson will have his job when they finish the investigation into his behavior.He tarnished the legal community with this and as such is at risk for losing his job.An administrative law judge is supposed to stop frivolous lawsuits as part of their function.I wonder if they will file suit against him for financial damages..."

"@Buran: I have screwed up.When I was much younger, I even shoplifted something.And you are right, someone has to pay.But she took it one more step and wrote a story about it that makes kmart look bad.I still don't see how it was kmarts fault though....Their loss prevention officer saw what happened and did his job."

"@Beerad: Maybe.But the box wasn't for the same thing, so I disagree (respectfully).The only similarity between the sandals and the box she chose was the size."

killavanilla commented on WSJ Editor Caught After Accidentally Stealing From Kmart

"@cde: She said she didn't bother to check the price.She knew what the price of the sandals were.Since most retail boxes have stickers with pricing on them, yes - that would have been one way to check.Another way would have been to say to the cashier:"I wanted these sandals, but couldn't find the box so I grabbed this one to put them in."

"@cde: I'm the type of person that deserves to go to jail for petty mistakes?Tell you what, let me buy you a cup of decaf because that comment is not only offensive, but childish.No one is going to jail in this story.And when I make a mistake, I own up to it.And in a situation like this, I never would have made the mistake."

"@cde: She didn't know the prices were different because she didn't bother to check (which she admitted).Ignorance is no excuse.And of no consequence."

"@Beerad: Go reread the article, she said:"The only box marked size nine had tiny toddler-size shoes in it; since they seemed to be in the wrong box, I removed them and placed my nines inside."

killavanilla commented on WSJ Editor Caught After Accidentally Stealing From Kmart

"@Morgan: Perhaps your analogy is more prudent.Point taken.But I STILL fail to see the importance of the rogue box being unfindable...So what?So go to the checkout with the shoes and tell her you couldn't find the box."

killavanilla commented on WSJ Editor Caught After Accidentally Stealing From Kmart

"@Beerad: ah yes, but she didn't say she thought it was the right box, she said she the box she chose said size 9:"The only box marked size nine had tiny toddler-size shoes in it; since they seemed to be in the wrong box, I removed them and placed my nines inside."

"@Consumerist Moderator - ACAMBRAS: Perhaps, but then there wouldn't be an interesting debate about bias and partiality.And I fully realize that the consumerist is consumer biased, but in this case the consumer made a mistake and the article headline implies that the act was accidental when it was, in fact, not really accidental at all."
