Eagles and Browns competing for a hole players. Oh yeah, we have Matt Rapetricia as a coach too.

[–] T_alsomeGames@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

This is the most non story i've ever read. But because he has had one completely unrelated incident before this, people are gonna assume he was actively trying to steal from Target.

[–] Downtown_Ant@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Can’t believe he fell to the Eagles

[–] Fitz2001@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

It’s like we walked out without paying for him.

[–] incubusfan3737@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

There’s lots of body cam footage on YouTube of police arresting lots of folks for this very thing. They always say it’s a misunderstanding, that’s why someone else carries the bag after the scanner, deniability.

“Skip scanning”

[–] Autocrat777@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I guess he is just an unlucky dude. All this bade stuff always happening. Never his fault though.

[–] Smooth-Discount6807@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

damn lotta people reaching on this and ready to call this man a criminal. something tells me if he played for a different team the response would be different..

[–] Marihawnic@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Lol My team’s fans constantly shit on our own players

[–] krunkn@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Character issues

[–] spezzmelamama@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

So they were trying to steal from Target, got busted and proceeded to act in typical ghetto fashion 😐👍

[–] tiggs@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Yup, the guy who's a near lock to win defensive rookie of the year that fell into a perfect situation and has a massive spotlight on him from the other arrest is totally stealing some items from Target while paying for others. Makes total sense.

Way too many people are pissy they didn't draft him and are praying for him to fail.

[–] Varasa@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I see they were speeding through the self checkout…..

I’ll see myself out.

[–] raisemyrent@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Hey, let’s not rule out this being a viral marketing campaign by Target.

[–] Patient_Jicama_4217@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

A lot of chatter in here over a nothing burger

[–] Upset_Ad3954@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

You mean as in this is typical Philadelphia or typical athletes or typical...something?

[–] Marihawnic@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

2 characters incidents in under 1 year and counting…

[–] Party_Fig_8270@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

And so it begins.

[–] Pro-Spaghetti-Coder@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Ppl are hungry and cant afford food. Maybe he was stealing bread.

[–] Level_Ruin_9729@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

His misunderstanding was that he was caught by Target security.

[–] PlumbStraightLevel@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I've seen things around the cash register, he knew what he was doing

[–] kamekaze1024@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I know most athletes are stupid but I find it hard to believe a multi millionaire felt the need to shoplift

[–] cheerioo@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

You'd be surprised how many celebrities been caught for lifting, and that's just the ones who were caught

[–] MadDog1981@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Winona Ryder...

[–] L1ghtn1ng_strike@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Same, used to work at one, and people would “forget” to scan stuff all the time. It’s not hard to see and hear the item pop up on the screen after scanning

[–] EverySir@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

You’re an NFL player and you’re ghost swiping items at target.

He needs to check himself, because the behaviors he’s exhibiting are trending in the wrong direction. Dude has money to pay for whatever he’s buying. If it’s his girl, then he needs to address that with her immediately. Unfortunately athletes have a higher image and standard around them and you are who you put yourself around.

[–] PaidUSA@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (3 children)

He has several million dollars in actual cash in his bank accounts. I'd wager a lot of money on it being an actual misunderstanding for the simple reason there is no item in target he'd find worth stealing or helping someone else steal rather than swiping a card. The most expensive item target carries is a 20 ft artifical tree which costs 20k and I don't think fit in a bag at self checkout. The whole thing stems from "rumors" precisely because nothing was reported or written down yet everyone's immediately citing theft.

[–] FmrHvwChamp@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You over estimate people's values and ethics. Celebrities and millionaires try to steal and rip people off all the time.

[–] KBfanserv@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

No, no, no; it's only capitalist pigs who steal from the people, not the down-to-earth multi-millionaire sports, music, and media stars we idolize and pedestalize.

[–] EverySir@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

That’s because that is your mindset. Some people grew up with nothing and know to steal. Some people are just cleptos. You can have all the money in the world and still get a thrill from stealing some tic tacs from target.

[–] Offsets@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Bro rich people steal small shit the most. It's not about the value of the items.

90% of people that had rich friends in high school have stories about those rich friends stealing all the time.

[–] PaidUSA@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Those aren't rich friends. Those are "well off" kids. This dude has more liquid cash than all but a maybe a million Americans. Peopel view their friends families with million dollar houses as rich. Thats not rich.

[–] CPTHoagie@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

this is insanely delusional

[–] Texas12thMan@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

“Jalen, tell us about the car racing incident that resulted in a fatal crash.”

“Probably just some misunderstanding… I don’t really know too much about it.”

[–] AffectionateSlice816@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Yeah I'm definitely 100% okay with getting the best running back and tight end in the draft instead of this guy.

[–] CPTHoagie@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

lmao what an idiotic take.

I know he makes millions of dollars but he’s a big ass dude, surely he can’t afford to maintain his weight on a measly rookie salary

[–] Infinite-Relation988@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

What a terrible thing. He should really be banished to a team like the Chicago Bears for life…

[–] Knock0nWood@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Now here's a guy that listens to advice from Cris Carter

[–] CryptographerIll3813@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

If stealing from the self checkout at Target is a crime then lock me up

[–] BAQ717@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

This is a non story for literally anyone else. Does anyone really believe it was intentional and that a young millionaire feels the need to steal some trivial items at Target? It’s a shame that the media will do whatever they can to try and push their bad guy narrative with him.

[–] MadDog1981@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Rich people shoplift all the time.

[–] OhWeSuck@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Oh no! Anyway…

[–] FmrHvwChamp@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

So... they got called out for stealing, and then they acted like children getting caught with their hand in the cookie jar.

Got it

[–] shewy92@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

So GF was "scanning" items and he was just bagging them?

[–] crashcap@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I recently got stuff on self checkout and just at home realized some itens were not scanned. Went back to the supermarket and they said it was ok and that I should pay more attention next time

[–] hanky2@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

An alarmingly high amount of people here think a millionaire was purposefully trying to steal some stuff from target lol.

Target is pretty strict with their loss policies. Will be interesting to follow.

[–] gavincantdraw@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Jalen Carter has a deadly swipe move. Can you believe he fell to the Eagles?!?!?!

[–] ravidsquirrels@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Would've been awesome to see the video of security trying to take him down. Try and tackle this boys..

[–] nidus75@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Why would he have his girlfriend steal? He has hundreds of millions of dollars. Why would she purposefully steal? He has hundreds of millions of dollars. I believe the man. Misunderstanding
