She Saved Her Life. 7-Eleven Fired Her​

teaser image


"I had to choose between my job and my life..."

Yet last week, 7-Eleven fired the 25-year-old after she used her gun to save her own life. Private companies have every right to set rules for employee behavior, but many corporate policies that require workers to remain passive and comply with criminals’ demands rest on a deeply mistaken view of crime data.

He threatened me,” Dilyard told Fox 25 in Oklahoma City. “[A]nd said he was gonna slice my head off, and that’s when I tried to call the police. He started throwing things at me, came behind the counter. I tried to run off, but he grabbed his hands around my neck, and pushed me out of the counter space, and that’s when I pulled out my gun and I shot him.”

I had to choose between my job and my life,” she said. “And I will always choose my life because people depend on me. My kids need me here.”

She survived with wounds to her neck and hands – injuries that could have been far worse.

Her attacker, 59-year-old Kenneth Thompson, already had an outstanding felony warrant for a parole violation. For his latest crimes, prosecutors have charged him with assault and battery, threatening acts of violence, and attempting to pass a fake bill.

By contrast, the safest option for a woman confronted by a criminal is to have a gun. Women who rely on passive behavior are 2.5 times more likely to suffer serious injury than women who defend themselves with a firearm.

And that raises a real question: What should people do when they’re having to confront a criminal by themselves? As Stephanie Dilyard learned the hard way, people ultimately must take responsibility for their own safety – and for women, carrying a gun is the safest option.

... :clapping: :ROFLMAO:
 
so hate speech is ok?
Yes, it has to be or it is not free speech. The police will arrest you for views contrary to the government view. It's already happened in Britain and Canada. Recently a Brit who went to Florida and shot a shotgun was arrested when he got back from Florida after posting a video with the gun. He was in FLORIDA. The gun was in FLORIDA. But he is arrested for hate speech involving a lawful activity. In fact, Britain even has official skeet and trap Olympian shooters. Yet it is somehow illegal for him to fire a gun in a foreign country where it is perfectly legal.

You had 2 Canadian hikers killed by a bear. In America you could carry a pistol. Illegal in Canada. So, without the second amendment, the first amendment is a paper tiger.

Is Kenneth Thompson going to be the new hero of the Democrats? They would of cheered if he killed that woman.

7 Eleven siding with criminals also, I know they are not the only company that does so, but screw them.
 
I asked for areas in Portland, OR that have higher crime rates and this is what I got:

"In the Portland metro area, neighborhoods with higher crime rates include:

• Powellhurst-Gilbert: Crime rates around 228% above the national average, with high property and violent crime incidents.

Good luck with shoehorning any of those observations in a report and not being rejected.
This is a dishonest post and you know it. Just more RW clickbait to whine about free speech when you have no stakes in the game. I might assume as a CG, you do not do residential mortgage appraisals?
WRT Portland, you went on AI and asked for stats in certain areas, hard to believe where you get this i; information from? Please link the source.

If this is supposed to be about appraisal, are buyers purchasing in these areas? If so, there are other things in those areas the buyers find attractive. )

I lived in NYC in the eighties when there was a lot of street crime and the reputation made it sound like living in a war zone. Yet, for most people, daily life was fine, if a bit exciting. The amazing culture and people and all NYC had to offer were worth any higher risk, which, if you developed situational awareness, was rather low. I've had more sh*t happen here in Florida. Most crime for people like ourselves who can afford to live in a relatively safe community is at the corporate and white collar level. I've lost an estimated several hundred thousand dollars having to deal with, and then avoid, working for the AMC's rebuilding my business at great personal expense post HVCC.

There is high $ white collar crime and criminals residing in affluent communities that do not make a crime rate on the police blotter. Go chase down stats on that. How many narcotics deaths did big pharma getting rich off OxyContin cause? Run some stats on that.
 
Maybe it’s time to redefine the definition of crime. Law and order has such a MAGA ring to it, we should be tolerant of those whose only goal is to borrow something temporarily. All neighborhoods could then be declared crime free.

There's street crime, which we all fear because it could turn violent. And then there is "white collar crime"- fraud, financial scams, etc- some of it quasi-legal, the remainder illegal - yet a criminal who robs $100 from a store can get 10 years in prison while a white collar fraudster can bilk a company (or investors ) out of millions and get probation and a fine.

I would venture to say that most middle-class and working people lose far more $ to fraud, exploitation and scams or high borrowing costs in their lifetime than to any property crime they might encounter. LOl - credit cards - 30% vig interest now if a month behind. Online frausters, identify theft etc- be careful out there.
 
Too funny, J! I didn't see even one mention of political partisanship in that OP. Maybe some appraisers see things that aren't really there?
You have to recognize who the OP is....
You are/were an appraiser....
 
Stop the gaslighting.
People are worried about street crime. Crimes of violence and crimes against their personal property and which directly affect their personal safety and quality of life. Carjackings, home burglaries, fights at the Olive Garden, etc. They're not as worried about crimes against the haves that generally don't trigger a 911 call for the emergency response.

Nobody ever made a home purchase decision off of reports of fraud or income tax evasion.

That you want to equate these different forms of criminal behavior as having the same effect on the general public says a lot. And it's not good. People leave the urban areas for cause, and increased levels of street crime is one of those causes.

If the employment wasn't there a lot of people would choose to leave. There's a reason all those made-for-women movies on TV are set in small towns. And not in the urban areas.

That's one of the biggest crimes that has no sign of changing since the big banks own both political parties. In fact there is very little reporting on the subject by the legacy media. Ther occasionally make noise about check/overdraft fees charged to the working poor, but any proposed legislation to rein in the big banks for credit card gouging is DOA.

The regulation against corproate malfesaance ususlly comes from the Democrats and the votes to sqaush it comes from the Repulicans - and it was the GOP who ushered in Citizens United, the worst thing to happen to American politics..
