Store manager jumps into truck with beer thieves, goes for wild ride

He will be fired. Walmart fired an employee for helping a lady that was being assaulted in the parking lot. Walmart stated that he should not have put himself in a position that he may get hurt.

Yep, they would rather he have let the old woman be beat to death than help. Awesome.

As for myself, let someone fire me; I don't watch anyone get hurt and not do something. Fortunately, "doing something" is the kind of work I do. You can thank all of the attorneys that fill most state legislatures for the liability laws that practically mandate what we're seeing. A lot of places have "Good Samaritan" laws but businesses are held to a higher legal standard than an individual; the company being held liable for everything their employees do while "on the clock", even if they do it to themselves. On the other hand, if businesses were shielded in the same manner as an individual, people might believe that businesses were being given an improper break.
