Wal-mart Reconsiders Firing Good Samaritan

RHB noted earlier that a Wal-mart worker was reportedly fired for stopping an in-store assault. Liberaland is happy to report that the store has seen the error of its ways and has reconsided its unfortunate action.

Kristopher Oswald, 30, of Linden, Mich. was fired Tuesday for scuffling with a man who was attacking a former girlfriend. The story of Oswald’s firing made news nationwide and caused a furor against Wal-Mart on social-media sites like Twitter.

“We took a step back and looked at all the information,” company spokeswoman Ashley Hardie said. “We realize his intentions were good, and we’ve reached out to him to offer him his job back and let him know that he’s welcome back at the store.”

Hardie said store officials left a message with Oswald but had not yet spoken to him Friday evening. Oswald wasn’t immediately available to talk about Wal-Mart’s decision.
