Shoplifter Kicked to Death by Staff

http://www.news.scotsman.com/latest.cfm?id=2037419

A 40-year-old drug addict who allegedly stole beer and dog food from an Amsterdam supermarket was chased from the store and was kicked to death by at least four staff.

Anna Roos was chased from the Dirk van der Broek store by employees and died later of internal bleeding and injuries sustained during a beating, according to a police statement.

Slightly-built Roos was knocked to the ground where she was kicked and punched by a group of people, including four young employees and an unknown number of bystanders, the statement said.

Police said they were questioning six people over the killing.

It was the second confrontation in three months in Amsterdam between alleged thieves and supermarket staff.

In August, two workers of the Albert Heijn supermarket chain chased a knife-wielding man who tried to hold up a store and wrestled him to the ground. He was also beaten by the employees.

The two were prosecuted for excessive violence and fined –£1,200 by an Amsterdam judge.

Dutch Prince Bernhard, the father of Queen Beatrix, paid the fine because he thought the men were unfairly punished after doing a good deed.

The latest incident sparked angry reactions from local residents who accused Bernhard of promoting violence. In an official statement from the Royal House, Bernhard rejected the claim and said woman’s killing could not be compared with the earlier incident.

Further details:

Reports say the victim had been removed from the store 5 times that day, prior to the incident. The four minors who assaulted her, did so after she had yelled racist remarks at them. One of the boys threw a chair, and missed. The victim threw a chair back, and missed. Punches were thrown and the conflict got out of hand. The victim received internal injuries and crawled away to the terrace of a neighbouring cafe, where she died.

The unrelated incident Prince Bernhard defended had to do with two employees who chased an armed robber from the store to the park and [in an emotional state] kicked and stomped the robber until the police came.

I thought Europeans were more enlightened than that. Black jack were you on holiday in Holland recently? Sounds like your bad influence upon the sensitive, humanitarians who live over there.

beer + dog food = human life.

You get low life everywhere.

That is horrible, its not like she tried to kill anyone and got beaten. The knife one is a little overboard, but the guy in that case had a weapon. As far as I could tell this woman just took the stuff and ran.

Don't worry BJ, you could plead insanity just because the Cubbies got to the playoffs. Let's hope the Babes curse holds.

Too sad. My ethics say I'd be dropping some bystanders. Amazing how some people just need to join in.

Been speaking to a few people.

It has been discovered that she was NOT shop-lifting and had paid for the items.
Apparently the attack was because of some racial slurs she made.

Not that it changes the outcome.
