Feel Secure While Shopping
A woman who saw her rapist convicted and sent to prison for 10 years just five years ago stopped by a Target store in Chicago, Ill., to make a sales call. The security guard at the store confronted her and demanded to know her name. She immediately recognized him as her rapist. She refused to tell him her name, and the guard followed her around until she jumped in her car to escape; he wrote down her license plate number. She went to the police, who arrested the guard, Andre Johnson, 36, for assault and failure to register as a sex offender. He has been out of prison for at least a year. A Target manager, saying he was “appalled,” fired Johnson. (Chicago Sun-Times) ...What was the appalling part? That they didn’t do a background check, or that they did and hired him anyway?
