Target sues Chattanooga girl's hero

CHATTANOOGA — Glen Meadows will be making another trip from Chattanooga to Pennsylvania this weekend.

Allison Meadows, Glen's daughter, was stabbed at a Target store in East Liberty, Penn in 2013. Surveillance footage showed Leon Walls grabbed and attacked Meadows' daughter with a knife. A group of men came to help stop Walls from committing any further harm. One of those men was Michael Turner, who is now being sued by the chain.

"I thank him," said Meadows, "I thank him every time I see him."

While Meadows thanks Turner, Target blames him. Court documents say the company claims Turner chased Walls with a baseball bat into the entrance of the store, creating more danger to those inside.

Target is the renamed Dayton-Hudson Company. Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton (Democrat uber liberal) is the great grandson of the founder of Dayton-Hudson.

Target is truly a liberal’s wet dream.

They are now on my Permanent Boycott list.

I hate that I can't boycott a store I never went to. Oh wait I was preemptively boycotting them before the rest of you thought it was cool.

He was “identifying” as a baseball player

Until recently I was at least a once-a-month Target shopper. They really have lost a customer with me and my family.

The facts are not presented. Turner apparently chased Walls into the store armed with a bat.

We know nothing more. It seems Walls entered the store chasing the girl and was pursued by Turner. We saw no video of the men entering the store.

The question becomes did turner chase walls or did turner follow walls. If chase is the verb, Target has a case

Trump's kids should buy Target when it hits rock bottom. Just the news that it was bought by Trump would make the stock rebound, and how.

Here in upstate South Carolina, Target has began running Spanish-only TV commercials.
It smacks of "We don't need you Christian conservatives any way" feel.

BU-By Tarjay!

If I was getting chased by a guy with a baseball bat, I don’t think the first thing I would do would be grab a young girl and assault her.

But that’s just me. . .

In Upstate SC, Mexican nationals shop at Aldis and Dollar Stores, Walmart—this is desperation in Target’s part. Their main customer is a middle to upper middle class, upwardly mobile, educated white woman, probably with elementary-aged children....who will be voting for Trump. Do the Exec Miribs think Tranny Chic goes with machismo?

Target will become a case study in corporate idiocy much like Enron became a study in corporate greed.

I work about a block from this store... they are attempting to gentrify an area that was destroyed when they decided to build a huge section 8 high rise in the area back in the 60s.... The main drag is getting gentrified but its littler no more than 2 blocks any direction from the $hi&$how that is inner city decay.

If there is a corporation that has shown itself to be evil again and again, TGT is it.

More of the story for those, like me, who have never heard of this case at all. The story provided was so poorly written it is almost criminal the person is even working in the business.

We have a Target nearby that is now as empty as the Palestinian Museum (see nearby article).
