Supermarket CCTV catches a lady stealing, but the manager chooses forgiveness over disgrace/arrest.

Yes, the supermarket CCTV caught her, but grace won it for her (humanity over power).

The supermarket CCTV caught a lady hiding some items in her pants while shopping in the supermarket, a clear footage with no denial possible.

The manager was called upon and everyone expected the usual routine of shame, police and arrest.

But instead, the manager chooses to forgave her.

His reason for the forgiveness is that he have respect for women. Shaming her won’t make her change rather, but with love,bshe can have a rethink about life entirely and change.

The manager went ahead and paid for the items himself and told her, don’t come back here to steal, rather come back to work.

That moment taught me something.
Justice without compassion is just punishment.
But when you correct with dignity, you can actually change a life.

The CCTV caught a thief.
The manager chose to see a human.

What would you have done in his place?
Let's discuss.
