Kiv- Where does it say he lied? I have read this article more than once and no where does it say he lied about anything. The fired him because he broke policy which was detaining the girl about the alcohol.
And if he gets 15 minutes of fame behind this then good for him. Something like this needed to come out. If he hadn't gone to the papers no one would be aware that 16 yr olds are going to target and walking out with bottles of alcohol. SO what if you don't want to get shot for stopping a shop lifter. If you are in the security field there is ALWAYS that risk of something going wrong. You still do your job however.

If it had been me and I would have gladly lost my job for doing so. The second time when confronting the obviously underage girl I would one take the bottle from her (it was in her backpack obviously she wasn't going to try and pass a fake id to purchase it) two take her information down and three tell her to get the heck out of my store and not to come back or else I would get the police involved.
I would then call her parents let them know what happened and offer to show the video tape. The girl admitted to the first theft and even showed the second bottle in her bag. I'm sorry but I would not have let her leave with the alcohol, manager on duty or not. I would not want the possible injury or death of innocent people on my conscious.
"Target does not condone underage drinking or theft...and we maintain appropriate procedures and implement many safeguards to prevent their occurence," < This is total BS. If it were true then why was she able to walk away with a bottle the first time and almost got away with it a second time?

I'm with Rex on this one. She is 16. Regardless of the fact she was a 'guest' she's 16 and thus cannot be in possession of alcohol is the first damn place. If she had gotten drunk with her friends and done something stupid and dangerous and got someone killed both Target and this guard would be on the hook for letting her leave with the bottle of patron.

On Is lap dancing prostitution?

Twerp- Speaking as someone who grew up in Las Vegas it prostitution is only legal in northern Nevada. Anyone who told you otherwise is lying.
As for this article no a lap dance isn't prostitution. Are the cops really this bored? Yeah solicitation does happen in strip joints all over the place but not ever girl on stage or at your table is there to do anything more than shake her goods and make some cash.
