Pharmacist fired by Walgreens releases video

Posted by David Hardy · 20 September 2011 08:07 AM

It's the usual story: fellow working for a store is robbed, defends self successfully, and is fired for violation some policy against impeding robbers. This time, the un-victim has released the security cam videos, which has the store all bothered.

The change in the robber's attitude when he draws and shoots is marked. In about half a second it goes from aggressive to "run like hell" mode.

I suggest that gun owners should refrain from spending their dollars at Walgreens. Economic pressure is the only thing that will make these anti-firearms rights businesses change their tune.

Looks like Walgreens would rather you die than defend yourself.

Only employees are forbidden to defend themselves at Walgreens.

Mike: Then I suggest practicing Open Carry if you are a Walgreens customer, since they run a criminal friendly business.

So where would we shop? pretty much every place has such a policy (and they are all stupid).

I wrote Walgreens an email off their "contact us" page and I got back some lame boilerplate about "other businesses do it" and claims about safety this-and-that blah blah blah.

But if the robber who opened up shooting without provocation had hit we'd be talking about a dead man. I guess Walgreens is just practicing the "acceptable losses" approach where individual lives don't matter. It's all about the lawsuits and the bottom line.
