Walmart fires manager for not being run over
    #19384900 -

http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2014/01/07/22219968-walmart-manager-fired-after-chase-to-stop-beer-theft?lite

"A Florida Walmart assistant manager who jumped into the back of a beer thief's pickup truck and went on a 15-mile ride has been fired from his job.

Mike Dawson, a manager at a Titusville store, was fired following the wild ride that reached speeds of 90 miles per hour last week, WESH reported.

Police said two men stole more than a dozen cases of beer from the store then tried to leave in the truck on Friday. Dawson went to take down the truck's license plate number but thought the driver was going to back over him so he jumped in the truck bed.

"When I realized how close I was, I jumped in the back so they didn't run me over," Dawson said.

After riding for several miles, Dawson got the attention of another driver, who pointed a gun at the driver and got him to slow down so Dawson could escape.

The driver, identified as 24-year-old Joseph Michael Long (below), was later arrested and charged with armed robbery, grand theft and kidnapping. He was being held at the Brevard County Jail and it was unknown whether he has an attorney.

A spokesman for Walmart said Dawson violated store policy and could have just taken down the license plate number, WESH reported. The spokesman said Dawson had three perfect scores on training sessions on store safety, so they fired him for violating those policies."

Corporate policies are nonsensical and thoroughly removed from reality?
Who'd have guessed.

dunno why he cared so much to try and stop them like that though, who cares if Walmart gets robbed when they rob everyone else daily.

Wal-Mart isn't robbing anyone.
Just because you, like every other mindless counter-culture moron, find their business practices to be unscrupulous does not make the company guilty of criminal activity.

Stealing from Wal-Mart is a crime, regardless of how you cut it.

ripping off/stealing, WHATEVER, how does that make me a mindless counter culture moron? :lol: get right with jesus svs.

and I never claimed it to not be a crime, I questioned why an employee of Walmart could care so much.

You asked why he cared.
Maybe he, like most reasonable members of society, does not enjoy his workplace being robbed. The impact of theft and robbery goes far beyond some impersonal entity losing a few bucks.

All the shit slides back down on the little people who make it up, in the end.

Because you're another person with the pervasive attitude of "big business is evil therefor it's ok to do bad things to them lol".
That makes you at least one thing mentioned above.

If someone pointed a gun at me I would slam the accelerator and drive as fast as I could possibly could, I certaintly would not slow down. I dont trust vigilantes with guns.
