Never seen such idiocy coming out of a board room. Charging this employee and then their stance on bathrooms. A great example of how leftist thinking can destroy a company.

Michael Turner was not sued merely for his having saved Allison Meadows from being stabbed. Rather, Target claimed that Turner and others had recklessly endangered customers when they brought a confrontation that had started outdoors into the store.

Here's the SNOPES account. After reading it, I still think Turner acted properly.
According to the criminal complaint, the incident began when Walls stabbed a man named Jobe Wright near a construction site on nearby Highland Avenue. Police said Walls ran down the street toward Penn Circle and into Target, followed by Wright, his friend Michael Turner, and Tyrique Walker, who called 911 to report their location, and Roland Smith, who grabbed a baseball bat to help Wright.
Once they were all inside the store, "Walls saw Walker and attempted to stab him with a large swing at his neck area," the complaint said. "Walls, missing his target, then moved towards the checkout area at the Target store where he began trying to stab additional victims who were in the store. Walls then grabbed Allison Meadows and held her against her will at knifepoint in one of the checkout lanes to use her as a shield. Victims Hosea Davis, Mike Turner, Jobe Wright and Roland Smith attempted to subdue Walls and to free Meadows when they saw him poke the knife into Meadows' back."
No difference than had the police chased the perp and he happened to flee into a TARGET. Of course the police were not there to help during the attack -- they usually aren't. Had it been me, I wouldn't have had a baseball bat -- I would have been carrying and the perp probably wouldn't have fared so well.

So do you really care about not having a bloodbath when your life is threatened? I'm glad my thinking doesn't follow that path.

Had they all been carrying Walls would have never made it off the construction site where the first stabbing took place.
Target is finding itself in trouble and it is being held in low esteem by the public, stock is dropping like a rock and now sales are dropping.
CEO will soon be fired, it is not his job to fight for social justice, it is his job to meet his fiduciary responsibilities to the company's shareholders.
