This Man Saved A Girl From Being Stabbed To Death, And Now Target Is Suing Him For It
Quote:
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.
Quote:
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.
“Suing Michael Turner is just Target’s way of trying to blame someone else for what happened under their own roof,” an attorney for the Meadows family said, “The family certainly doesn’t blame Mr. Turner and they are thankful he was there that day.”
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.
Where there's a blame, there's a claim. Hope the girl is awarded thousands for her injuries
"I'm so traumatised, I can barely leave my house. The incident ruined my life. I'm now scared to shop at Target"
Get it girl
Edit: WAIT, she was murdered?? Wtf. Reading is fundamental!
Yeah reading IS fundamental and you need to learn how to do it properly! !
Attempted homicide,etc. There were many key words to help you understand that the girl was not murdered!
While Meadows thanks Turner, Target blames him. Court documents say the company claims Turner chased Walls with a baseball bat into the entrance of the store, creating more danger to those inside.
Target filed a counterclaim against Turner, adding him as a defendant to the case. The trial is expected to being on Monday. Meadows and his family will commute to Pennsylvania on Sunday to attend.
Two other men are also being sued by Target, however Meadows is the only defendant without an attorney who will be representing himself.
reminds me of the story about the burglar who broke into someone's home/kitchen, only to stab himself and sue the family for it.
