I definitely don't agree with most of Wal-Mart's choices. I won't be making any friends by pointing out that the employee violated policy. Wal-Mart policy is to not chase people who are stealing. The policy is to document the theft so the police can deal with it. The main reason is because it could go the other way and Wal-Mart does not want their employees dying for merchandise. When the employee went after the burglar in the parking lot he made a choice to violate the policy. When the burglar attacked him with a weapon the employee had the right to protect himself however, he put himself in that situation. Wal-Mart asked him to resign not because they didn't believe his actions were just, they asked him to because otherwise they would be sending the wrong message about the policy to the other employees. That's why they gave him the choice of how to handle it. What would public reaction be the next time an employee decided to play hero and lost their life.

I really hope this soldier gets a job soon. I'm sure the public outrage will improve his chances. This man is a hero in my eyes not because he stopped a burglar in a parking lot but because of his choice to fight for my freedoms foreign and domestic.
