Once again Target proves it doesn’t care about women and girls’ safety. A few weeks ago they announced they would allow men into the women’s bathrooms, and now they’re going to court on Monday to sue a man who saved a 16-year-old girl from being stabbed to death.
In 2013, Michael Turner saved the life of a 16-year-old girl who had been viciously attacked and stabbed in a Target store in Pennsylvania. And instead of thanking him for protecting its customers and preventing them from being murdered, Target is now suing him for his heroism and alleging he acted irresponsibly.
The attacker, Leon Walls, was convicted of attempted homicide for stabbing then-16-year-old Allison Meadows in 2013.
Security footage from the store shows Walls grabbing Meadows and stabbing her before Turner tackles the knife-wielding perp and chases him out of the store with a baseball bat.
Meadows and her family vehemently disagree with Target’s legal assault on Turner, calling Turner’s actions heroic and crediting them with preventing Meadows’ murder. The Meadows family has sued the store, claiming that the retail company had inadequate security, and alleging that the store, by suing Turner, is just trying to blame someone else for Target’s own refusal to protect the safety and security of its customers.

Wow, Target really knows how to treat its customers terribly! How do you go after a hero who saved a girl’s life but roll out the welcome mat for men who want to pee with women?
It’s no wonder Target’s shares and sales are down – deservedly so. I know I’m not the only one shopping Wal-Mart instead!
