He couldn't have been more obvious from the get-go

A Colorado Circle K employee is suing the company after she was fired for putting her hands on an armed thief that snatch a pack of cigarettes from behind the counter.
Mary Ann Moreno, 75, claims in her lawsuit against Circle K Stores, Inc. that she was wrongfully terminated from the Westminster store she had worked at for 18 years for her brief interaction with the criminal.
“I really did not think I would get fired for something like that. [Maybe] If I had chased him out the door or, you know, argued with him,” she told KDVR.
On Oct. 4, 2020, Moreno was behind the counter when Tyler Wimmer walked into the convenience store with a knife in one hand and a sealed package in the other that also contained a knife.
It’s not clear in surveillance footage obtained by KDVR whether or not he ever threatened Moreno with the knife, but Willmer did ask if she would give him a pack of cigarettes for free. Moreno declined, telling him she would get fired if she did.

The same thought occurred to me. Many urban areas are becoming food deserts because of the crime. Mayors don’t care enough to change things. But people gotta eat.
So Uncle Sam starts setting up grocery stores there. Maybe they’ll get robbed too, and operate at a loss. So what? It’s only the taxpayer’s money.
The Godless Globalists are doing their best to bring on The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
I think they’re going to get their wish.
I have no idea what that incoherent sentence means.
Incoherence seems to be your trademark.
I’m sorry that you live in the slums. I don’t! Get it!
Theft at retail stores is off the charts. Because it’s a RIGHT, don’tcha know.
Ah, thanks for explaining the Streisand effect! I had not heard about that and now this all makes more sense, in a backwards sort of way 😁
This Patrick Reilly gets paid to write articles like this? Good grief.
I think it is time someone comes up with a reality TV show that puts shoplifters that have been caught on camera, on the show. Anyone that steals should be held accountable and what better way to broadcast what is going on with the thieves than to put their faces all over the net or TV. I think it would be great!
Yep. That’s what it will boil down to.
And Leftists love them some Food Deserts. It is the Alinskyite ripping scabs off wounds to exacerbate them, not heal them.
Festering wounds are much easier to exploit.
You can speak English!
I am impressed.
Not to worry. Apparently we can pay for everything else in the world.
I know that my bank keeps begging me to not put so much money in there!
You think you’re exempt from consequences of your virtue-signaling because you are special.
I guarantee you the entire country is going to be San Francisco in a couple more years.
Somebody should find this gal and offer her some A) legal assistance and B) another job. Don’t let them win.
The “journo-listers” who control the media would not allow any criticism or their false god obama.
I hope she wins. Will be the only way I buy their gas again......knowing she gets some of the revenue.
So why didn't Transhueser Bush fire the wokester Karen who came up with Dylan Mulvaney for the Bud Light campaign? She is still "on leave," and since they didn't specify that she was "on unpaid leave," that means she is getting a paid vacation.
Companies are only afraid of being on the wrong side of the woke press.
I agree completely. When those people tell you what they are going to do, they should be listened to.
She’s of the era where moral people stood up to immoral people.
I’m afraid lots of old people will be in trouble for things like this.
She should sue for “ageism” too.
...and hopefully the company will be paying her for the firing after 18 years. (They should be forced to explain why counseling or a write-up or something wouldn’t be sufficient for an 18 year long employee.)
