At least no one suggested that the store should have had a social worker to “de escalate” this guy. And maybe some of those who think the police are always wrong fir shooting will see how quickly it can happen when an angry, irrational person has a weapon they are itching t9 use…
It does not justify what the criminal did, but I would like to know if the store forced her hand via policy.
IMO, Wal Mart has the most sensible policy. It forbids employees to confront or ask about vaccination status, and that protects employees.
Spoken by someone not on the front lines. Nope, it doesn't protect employees from nuts. If you are an employee still wearing a mask you get harassed. If you are an employee not wearing a mask you get harassed. Simply by virtue of having or not having a mask on your face people feel free to make assumptions and react accordingly, ask me how I know. I'm more frightened of the ones who harass me for wearing a mask. I called the police on one who threatened bodily harm to me a few weeks ago.
Your don't like the store policy, you leave. You don't kill a staff member.
Shouldn't even need to make a comment about this.
Agreed. This dude was an obvious powder keg. Someone that would do this would have done it over them not taking a check, requiring shoes, being out of budweiser etc. etc.

Confrontation increases your risk. I admire Wal Mart's position as it lessens the odds of an incident like this tragedy in Georgia. I do NOT feel stores should task their staff with enforcing such things. IMO, that should be management's job, if it is anyone in the store.
Calling the police as needed is better than confronting the nuts.
Too many people today let their implosive behavior control them…. I can guarantee that this criminal, yes criminal, is wondering why he did want he did.
Regardless of where you stand on the political/racial issues, the REAL victims are the dead cashier and wounded off-duty cop/security officer.
Best to not tell people to wear a mask. Mommas basement will be empty for a while.
