Once again, via Say Uncle (yes, I read plenty of other blogs but he reports some good stuff), comes this article out of Des Moines:
A pizza delivery driver, who police said defended himself by shooting a robber who attacked him, was fired from his job on Friday.
James Spiers, 38, confirmed to KCCI that he is no longer employed by Pizza Hut. Spiers said he was given two months severance pay and was offered help finding a new job by the company.
...
Police said Jimmerson tried to rob Spiers at gunpoint. During a struggle, Spiers pulled out his own gun and opened fire. Spiers shot Jimmerson several times, in what police said was a justified shooting. Jimmerson survived was sent to the hospital and a couple days later moved to the Polk County Jail.
Though Spiers had a permit to carry his gun, Pizza Hut suspended its long-time delivery driver.
How do these people sleep at night? THIS is the "moral highground"?
Personally, if I owned a pizza delivery place, I would REQUIRE that my drivers carry. I'd rather lose the business of a handful of antis than lose a human being that I employed.
