Didarul Sarder lost his job for pulling a gun to rescue a woman who was being stabbed to death, but he never regretted his split-second decision.
"I would do it all over again,"he told Fox affiliate WJBK. "If I could save this woman's life over a job. I can get another job."
The 32-year-old has been offered his job back after his bosses at a General Motors Technical Center in Warren, Mich., reversed their unpopular decision, allowing the valet service supervisor to return to work.
The decision was praised by Warren Mayor Jim Fouts, who called Sarder a "hero" in a lengthy Facebook post commending his actions. He noted that Sarder had a valid concealed pistol license and "probably saved" a "woman from being murdered."

They should fire the people who fired him.
What you said.
Find a better job..idiots!!!
So if he got fired over the incident can we assume it's because his place of employment is a gun free zone?
The next natural questions are, will they change their policy or will he continue to work in disobedience of their policy, or will he disarm to keep his job?
General Motors got a free security guard in the bargain, yet still managed to muss things up. Glad they un-mussed it up.
Absolutely the right decision. I have a bit of sympathy for the employer in these cases, not because I support anti-gun sentiment but because they’re stuck between a horde of liability lawyers salivating at the prospect of a successful class action lawsuit and a public that is strongly in favor of the shooter. You can’t go wrong backing your employee but it might just break you. And I think that’s wrong.
He never lost his job .........
He was sent home from work and the MSM of course jumped on the event to assume he was fired..............
GM's HR dept. is already on record as stating this guy was not fired.................
Sheesh, talk about MSM BS............
AMEN to that!
Add one additional reason I would not buy a General Motors vehicle from that government bailed out company. Losers.
They were probably just following gm standard protocol. Such is zero tolerance groupthink.
They really dont even mean it or care, they just dont like popular opinion hurting gm sales. Thats all it is.
...Right. And can the woman who was nearly murdered sue them because their infringement on her 2nd amendment rights made her a victim and almost got her killed? And can employees start suing their employers who have “no firearms” policies that put them at risk each and every day at work? When does this foolishness end?
We are witnessing a Fin de Cycle at the Washington Post.
Can you image such a story there, ten years ago? Under the new ownership of Jeff Bezos, and the inclusing of the Eugene Volokh and The Volokh Conspiracy, The post is coming to respect the Second Amendment.
That was heresy at the Post a mere decade ago.
Yet here it is, naming a black concealed carry permit holder as a hero, and excoriating the corporate “interests” who fired him.
What will the progressives who look to the Post for moral leadership do?
meant inclusion. Typed inclusing...
It was some HR bitch.
Guaranteed.
Looks like GM just wants the issue to go away. If the company drags its feet and keeps the manager(s) who fired him, that says they really prefer to back managers who make bad decisions over heroes who make good ones. Divest, divest, divest!
Interesting point.
That was by the local MSM......
FWIW, the guy was interviewed by the local TV (I live just north of the Tech Center)this morning and even HE said he was not fired. YES, he was given the day off. YES he was escorted off the property but NO, HE WAS NOT FIRED!
Believe what YOU want thank you..........
