☝️ ✅
Very good points explaining of why folks should not snitch.
Another one: Who are you snitching to?
The shop manager? Why do you prioritise his wellbeing over the shoplifters?
The police? What does that solve except get the shoplifter into deeper shit and more likely to murder down the line?
Or perhaps you think "but people shouldn't steal", in which case you should go after bankers, the police, politicians and big corporations. Don't have what it takes to do that? Then again, sit down your righteous ass and face your own helplessness.
Reporting some poor sod shoplifting won't make you more powerful. It'll make you one of those cowardly white European schmucks who sent their neighbours into concentration camps.
