So if he does nothing that woman is beaten up and worse, more than likely, but if he does something, he gets fired. What a world.

and customers. Money does not aways correlate with intelligence.

It seems to me the argument could be made that Walmart has demonstrated a lack of commitment to the safety of its customers: that the property has been made a safe haven for criminals, due to Walmart's policy forbidding its employees to intervene in an attack.

I mean, I realize they're not being paid to be security guards. But any citizen should have the right to help another, regardless of whose property the assault happens on, and regardless of where he or she works when the crime is committed.

only to monitor possible union activity. I watched a story on Wal Mart and one of the former managers was commenting on the lack of security and deaths that may have been prevented. When they asked him about whether a specific store had a camera, he said they have the union package, which I guess is cameras that aren't monitored by store security guards for crime, but by store personnel for possible union recruiting. Dear Lord, how do those folks sleep at night.

He's got to be nuts to intervene with Walmart customers at 2:30 am. He should just call 911.

Did the woman press charges against the alleged assailants?

How many fights occur after bars close? Who knows if they were even customers...they could have been in the parking lot for several reasons. It seems the guy was just trying to help someone in a dangerous situation. I don't know the answer to your question as none of the links (including mine) say if the woman pressed charges.

Your post reminds me of the Kitty Genovese murder and the "bystander effect', although the reports on that case changed several times over the years.

What happened to the black man that got into a car accident recently who went to a woman's door late at night for help?

She called 911 and the police came and shot him 10 times and killed him.

Not saying 911 shouldn't have been called, and I'd like to know who called, but at least this guy tried to help.

Yes, Wal-Mart is just plain wrong on this case, and I'm sure the CEO will make an apology soon for the TV cameras.

In any case, there is some evidence that the neighbors were not so uncaring in the Genovese murder than initial reports had indicated. There were actually a couple different attacks on her - a shouting neighbor scared off the attacker at first. The murder later occurred at a spot where fewer neighbors could hear it. According to some reports, some neighbors did call police.
