Boycott Wal-Mart

Not for the usual reasons. And I don't shop there much, anyway - mostly because I hardly shop anywhere!

Four Wal-Mart employees have been fired after management said they violated company policy by disarming an alleged shoplifter who had pulled a gun inside the store.

That lead paragraph actually understates the reported danger posed by the suspect, a man named Longton.

Longton then allegedly grabbed Stewart and shoved the gun into his back.

Why would a big corporation like Wal-Mart fire a bunch of heroes?
I bet they're worried about liability awards with lots of trailing zeroes.

But there's got to be a way to avoid
making these guys unemployed.
