Mother Files Lawsuit, Blames Son’s Employer For His Suicide

According to Yahoo Parenting, last July, a 22-year old committed suicide three days after he was fired without warning from the Pasadena Target where he worked.

His mother, Virginia Gentles, is calling for Target to take responsibility for a role in his death. In the wrongful death lawsuit Gentles filed against Target in L.A., she alleges that the company engaged in intentional infliction of emotional distress toward her son, who had Asperger’s Syndrome, negligence and false imprisonment as part of a company practice of subjecting employees to a “walk of shame” before they are fired.

“The walk of shame is a Target policy to purposely cause shame, embarrassment and emotional distress to any Target employee who is suspected of stealing from Target,” the suit, filed last Thursday, states, according to NBC Los Angeles.

She claims that her son was wrongfully accused of stealing.

”The policy consists of employees being arrested and paraded in handcuffs through the Target store in full view of co-workers and customers.”

The suit alleges that’s exactly what happened on July 15, 2014 to Gentles, who was released and not charged with any crime.

His mother alleges that the true reason for his firing was a verbal altercation Gentles had with another employee, off-site, months prior.

Is Hillary The Target Of State Of The Union?

Why would the president try to enact legislation on free community college,  grants to selected middle-income households, and tax increases on upper-income earners?

The Atlantic believes that the reason Obama is taking on these challenges is to box in his presumptive successor.

The Atlantic:  “Every time the president advances a concept that thrills his party’s liberal base, he creates a dilemma for Hillary Clinton. Does she agree or not?”   There is a smaller scope on how she can define herself.

Hillary Clinton comes from the more centrist business wing of the Democratic Party.

The Atlantic:  “Whatever her own personal views—still an elusive quantum after all these years in public life—she is identified in the public mind with her husband’s record, her husband’s appointees, and her husband’s donors. Not just in the public mind, but seemingly in the president’s mind, too.

“So as the clock runs down on his administration, he seems determined to set the post-Obama Democratic Party on a more leftward course…”
