Sorry if I wasn't clear. I have the same take on this (...I think...) as you; the (so called) "hero" & his three friends (one in car with him; the other two chased the homeless guy towards the Target store) were no longer in jeopardy (assuming that the mentally ill homeless guy randomly attacked them originally, without provocation). This is the street justice i was implying. It's convenient that The Federalist article left out these details, but had the column space to relate this with Target's employee restroom policy.C-dub wrote:If I'm following this correctly, I'm curious to what street justice you're referring to? It sounds to me like the "hero" caused the mentally ill person to irrationally attack the girl and that wouldn't have happened if the "hero" hadn't come after him first.Mike S wrote:As Paul Harvey woulda said, here's the part of the story left out by The Federalist article.
This "hero" & a couple of his friends had an altercation with a homeless, mentally ill guy and then jumped in their car to try & find him. The "hero" ran into the Target store WITH a baseball bat, ran up the escalator to find the guy, and had more 'words' with the mental homeless guy. Homeless guy grabs teenage girl & pulls out a knife to show 'he means business' (... remember, he's a mental homeless guy; this must have made sense to him on some alternative wavelength...), to wit our "hero" springs into action & tackles/chases homeless nut out of the store with the baseball bat that he brought with him.
If Target wants to sue him & his homeboys for bringing street justice into their stores, I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.

Re: Target suing man who saved girls life
As Paul Harvey woulda said, here's the part of the story left out by The Federalist article.
