BOYCOTT AUTOZONE... until this veteran is rehired or compensated! (going to find the boycott info on facebook....) This is so wrong... "But two days after the robbery b^S and just a week before Thanksgiving b^S McLean was fired. Television station WTKR reported that McLean violated corporate policy by leaving the store and returning with a weapon. The station spoke to a representative from the companyb^Ys corporate office who said they had a b^\zero tolerance policy for employees having weapons inside the store.b^] An AutoZone spokesman told Fox News they will not discuss the matter. b^\It was a surprise to me,b^] McLean said. b^\I did the right thing. I saved the company $2,000. I saved one of their managerb^Ys lives b^S and youb^Yre letting me go? It was a slap in the face.b^] McLean said the firing came at a difficult time. Heb^Ys about to be a first-time father. b^\Web^Yre having a little boy,b^] he said. b^\I remember when the guy came in with that gun. My initial thought was I want to make it home to my family. I want to have the opportunity to meet my son and for my son to meet his dad. And for someone to come in and shove a gun in your face?b^] So why not just keep running? Why go back inside the store b^S and risk your own life? b^\I regard them as my family,b^] McLean said of his co-workers. b^\Youb^Yre not going to leave your brother or sister behind.b^] Itb^Ys a lesson he learned in the Air Force." ----- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -o|||||o- Linux: the choice of a GNU generation http://WAGONEERS.COM Snohomish, WA- where Jeeps don't rust, they mold ...shop AMSOIL directly at: http://AMSOIL.com/redirect.cgi?zo=283461 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- "A thorough knowledge of the Bible is worth more than a college education" Theodore Roosevelt (26th President (1901-09), 1858-1919) RTB&TRSTGZS - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- On Tue, 4 Dec 2012, lighthousemo at Wildwood wrote: # http://radio.foxnews.com/toddstarnes...d-robbery.html http://radio.foxnews.com/toddstarnes/top-stories/autozone-fires-worker-who-st opped-robbery.html # ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 5 Dec 2012 12:50:24 -0800 (PST) From: john Subject: xj: women drivers... read it and weep guys.... looks like in at least one country the myth is busted... ;) john - --------------------------- Main > News > Inside Israel http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/162830 New Report Connects Gender, Ethnicity, Driving Skills The latest report on traffic violations in Israel breaks down offenses by group. Men more likely to offend. By Maayana Miskin First Publish: 12/4/2012, 8:58 PM The latest report on traffic violations in Israel breaks down offenses by gender and ethnicity, showing that men, and Arab men in particular, are more likely to offend. Men were found to be significantly more likely to commit driving offenses, with men making up 78% of those receiving tickets or warnings, while comprising 58% of the total number of licensed drivers. Arab men in particular were more likely to offend, with 22% of traffic offenses committed by Arab men b^S more than twice what would be expected based on the proportion of Arab men among licensed drivers (10%). Arab women, on the other hand, were unlikely to offend, with just 3% of traffic violations committed by Arab women while 5% of licensed drivers are Arab females. The discrepancy may be due at least in part to different driving patterns. In many countries male drivers, on average, spend significantly more time on the road. Gender and ethnicity were found to be linked not only to likelihood of offense, but also to the types of traffic violations most frequently committed. The most common offense among Jewish drivers was speeding, which accounted for 20% of violations. Among Arab drivers, the most common offense, accounting for 27% of violations, was failure to use safety features, most commonly failure to wear a seatbelt. Young Arab drivers were also likely to be stopped for driving a vehicle in extremely poor condition. Thirteen percent of violations recorded for Arab male drivers under age 24 were handed out because b^\the build of the vehicle, its condition or its parts do not meet [safety] standards.b^] Male driversb^Y most common offense was failing to wear a seatbelt or use other safety features (20%), while female driversb^Y most frequent offense was failing to heed a traffic light or traffic sign (20%). The survey found a link between traffic offenses and age, as well: between age 25 and 64, driversb^Y likelihood of offending dropped with age. ----- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -o|||||o- Linux: the choice of a GNU generation http://WAGONEERS.COM Snohomish, WA- where Jeeps don't rust, they mold ...shop AMSOIL directly at: http://AMSOIL.com/redirect.cgi?zo=283461 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- "A thorough knowledge of the Bible is worth more than a college education" Theodore Roosevelt (26th President (1901-09), 1858-1919) RTB&TRSTGZS - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 7 Dec 2012 15:30:41 -0800 (PST) From: john Subject: xj: fuel tax info fyi: http://www.taxadmin.org/fta/rate/mf.pdf ----- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -o|||||o- Linux: the choice of a GNU generation http://WAGONEERS.COM Snohomish, WA- where Jeeps don't rust, they mold ...shop AMSOIL directly at: http://AMSOIL.com/redirect.cgi?zo=283461 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- "A thorough knowledge of the Bible is worth more than a college education" Theodore Roosevelt (26th President (1901-09), 1858-1919) RTB&TRSTGZS - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ End of xj-digest V1 #3444 *************************
