Why do so many liberals/progressives take the side of corporations against a private citizen?

This is in response to the "Arrested at Circuit City" thread.

I'm absolutely dumbfounded by the number of liberal/progressive folks that are taking the side of both Circuit City and the police in this matter.

If you have paid for an item the store has no right to detain you in any way, and in fact they face a massive lawsuit if they do so.

The fact of the matter is that the store employee who blocked the citizen's attempt to leave the parking lot was the one who was violating the law, not the customer who had paid for his purchase.

Just because they get away with these Gestapo tactics every day doesn't make it right.

Stand up for what rights you still have or they will soon be gone.
