    And Apple will sell for $1,999
    Yeah, selling a new model of the phone for $1999 makes total sense, considering the fact the previous one went for $999. /s

    You know what!

    I blame both Santa Clara County Fire Department (SCCFD) and Verizon.  SCCFD should have looked for the worst-case-scenario for their data usage and Verizon should have cleared the SCCFD data limits as both a public service and good will service.

    On some rare occasions, contracts aren't set in stone.  Yeah, the lawyers might think otherwise.
    Less blame on verizon, as they did not specifically know who the clients were. It was a single rule that gets applied to everyone. As for SCCFD , that is a different story, as they knew who would be using those data plans.

    I guess I'll take that age old advice..... if I don't have anything good to say...
    That would be equal to you NOT POSTING at all, tho.. Your post clearly has nothing good in it.
     So, why quoting a smart advice, and pretending to follow it, when in actuality your post went against it?
    What purpose did this serve?

    Huh? You mean, if thieves know their health and life are in danger when stealing, it will have no effect on the theft rates? 
    Really? So, how do you explain that theft happens a lot less in areas/cities/states where people are allowed to conceal and open carry?
    In other words, when faced with a threat of injuring or killing themselves, thieves become a lot less encouraged to steal. Who would have thought... but, I guess, there is no logic...

    In what state is the use of deadly force justified for unarmed thieves stealing an iPhone? 
     All one needs to do is look at Detroit with some of the most restrictive gun-control laws in the country to realize that the ones doing all the shooting apparently don't care about gun laws, and know with relative safety that they can rob someone's house without fear of the homeowner brandishing a firearm since the law only strips guns from law-abiding people.

    Ahh, but they will tell you that that is because every other state does not have such restrictive laws, which jeopardizes Detroit's best efforts...which is of course nonsensical, sinceit is not clear at all why guns from the rest of gun-allowed zones in america will end up precisely in the most gun-restricted zones.... unless, you factor in the group who ends up using such guns, but that is by the by.

    I can understand risking your life to defend someone else's life, but stolen property that will most likely be refunded by insurance? Not worth it. Please don't put yourself in danger for material things.
    If you prefer to always be the victim, go right ahead.  It's exactly why robberies target people and business that come across that way.  People that don't fight back and put their trust and hope in some degenerate that they don't hurt them.  Robbers prey on those kind of people.

    The below link is to a news article (with video) of the village (i.e. mall customers) getting fed up with this kind of activity in their neighborhood, that they banded together to apprehend the robbers.  Sure, it's an Apple store, and the products stolen represent only a drop of revenue for a conglomerate like Apple, but for the people involved in apprehending these robbers, it sends a strong message to other would-be thieves and it's also a good deterrent that if you enter their neighborhood, you'll be dealt with accordingly.  I support this.  These robbers most like were the ones traveling all over California doing nothing but entering other people's neighborhoods and robbing. Good for the citizens!

    Based on the video, I hope that one big guy that had one of the robbers in a choke hold was able to dislocate one of the punk's neck vertebras.

      There's no logic in the idea that vigilantism is the solution to crime.
