As someone who has only read the article, there are absolutely glaring holes in it that made me suspicious while reading it. For example, they refer to the cops being "presented with a version of events favorable to the store". But it never tells you what that alternate version of events was! That's a hole.

Well, yes, if someone doesn't care to look for the full story then there will be holes almost by definition.

The common accepted meaning of "holes in a story" is not "I don't know the facts", but "the story itself is misleading or incomplete".

		Yes, the story as presented here to us is incomplete. It's not our job to go research it. It's the author's job to recount the facts in a clear, objective, and reasonably complete manner. Failing that the work will be rightfully criticized. Perhaps HN isn't the correct target audience for this piece? Your own conduct in this comment section certainly hasn't been in keeping with the cultural norms for the site. I couldn't say whether or not the work is misleading but I tend to assume guilt until proven otherwise under circumstances such as these. Of course that cuts both ways, I assume all parties involved to be misrepresenting things by default whenever there's drama. It's on them to prove otherwise to my satisfaction if they wish to convince me of anything.

Beyond glaring omissions such as that one there's conflicting information between the linked article and what commenters here say the various linked videos contain. The article also lacks the necessary level of detail regarding the various legal claims, counterclaims, and entities involved which in this case are absolutely essential to understanding what's actually going on.

I'm inclined to believe that there's corporate wrongdoing but the piece itself comes across as a blatant attempt to stir up drama as opposed to objectively informing the reader. It's certainly not the sort of thing I come to HN for.
