I honestly believe that some major players out there are intentionally trying to depress Target’s stock and value. To what end I don’t know. Shareholders should demand real answers and scalps at their next meeting. This looks like fraud.

Walls created the environment where deadly violence was occurring. It makes no difference where Walls ran to, his continuing actions are the issue. Whether the deadly violence was occurring outside, inside a Target or a mom and pop grocery store. The full blame lies with the perpetrator of the deadly violence.

Had those individuals who spotted Walls committing his deadly crimes been armed, most of us would be accepting their own use of deadly force to put an end to Walls' actions.

Well, this is consistent with Target’s new strategy of making sure their stores offer safe spaces for criminals and perverts.

Snopes is very left leaning

Take whatever they say with every bit the grain of salt you are giving the original story by doing a snopes check.

Hmmm.... Does Target have standing for a civil suit here?

How were they “damaged?” How are the damages quantified?

This should be laughed out of court by the judge, before it gets laughed out by a jury.

More details from another source - still no doubt Turner saved the 16 y/o girl’s life.


In 2013, Leon Walls stabbed Michael Turner’s friend on a Pittsburgh street. Turner and three other men went looking for Walls shortly after the stabbing, planning to hold him for police. Turner heard that the man had gone inside a nearby Target, in East Liberty, so Turner and the men followed.

Once inside, they found Walls, who then grabbed 16-year-old Allison Meadows and began stabbing her with a knife. Turner and the men jumped into action and stopped the attack. Allison’s father, Glen Meadows, considers Turner a hero.

Target will be shown what a fool place it is should it get to a court hearing. What’s Target’s lawyers going to say? He endangered the other customers by saving the girl’s life? Really? Seriously? I’ll bet that judge will laugh it out of court.

My guess is that Target will decline even further. Most likely the board is filled with people that think like this CEO. Therefore the hemorrhage of money will continue... a clearly self inflicted wound. The board will have to be put in line by their stock holders, which very well have the same pandering and smug inclinations of thought. It could come to a tipping point where they cant recover.

I don’t see that the Snopes version materially changes anything.

“”Snopes is very left leaning. Take whatever they say with every bit the grain of salt you are giving the original story by doing a snopes check.””

This idea is carried way too far to the extreme. If the story is political in nature, yeah, they can twist it, but not always - but this story doesn’t have a political angle so where is it left leaning? People still refuse to accept snopes when other verification sites report the same true/false verdict...

What you posted makes no sense; it certainly doesn't contradict the article. Are you aware of this?

“”This has been posted twice and I’m going to repeat it: Snopes is Leftwing.””

So what? I’ll repost my own thought...making it TWICE!

“”This idea is carried way too far to the extreme.
