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.

I love that they claim Turner “chased him into the store” as if the perp had no recourse but to go to the store. He was being herded like a lamb.

Yep. Can’t imagine any other reason for such illogical choices.

The "money" quote from the sentencing story:

The judge said she thinks Target went after the “heroes” to make the victims back down from their own lawsuit against the store.
