Target is suing a man who saved a 16 year old girl from a stabbing.
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.
Why is this news in 2016 when the suits were filed in 2015?
Snopes claims to have the answer.
…the store is saying if Turner had not gone after Walls with the baseball bat, Allison would not have been stabbed.
“Well, if the guy hadn’t gone on a stabbing spree, we wouldn’t be standing here talking either. So, they’re not looking at that,” said Turner.
Roland Smith and Jobe Wright are also named in the suit with Turner, along with Walls who is in jail.
Snopes thinks this story is news in some places because of President Obama’s bathroom fetish and Target’s acquiescence to it.
