Why is everything a slippery slope to you guys? Why do we have to make laws based on some fringe incident? Some guy somewhere acts excessive so we should ignore the 99% of cases this doesn’t happen and instead make sure this one thing never ever happens again?

Are you trying to argue against the new bill on the grounds that you think it isn't necessary... because the vast majority of "repeat shoplifters" don't go around beating up retail workers?
