Oh Ruth,

You claim you are for the good of the people, but you have exposed yourself to be part of the Wal-Mart clan. Just as the Bible teaches, the rich ride on the backs of the poor.

The information connected to the cases I provided in my last posting was "Attorney contacts". And they are cases listed in Civil Cases, not a Criminal Case. Big difference. Plus, since Todd had victory, "ALL RECORDS of his case ARE DESTROYED!" And before the court, it was a PENDING issue; therefore under the Constitution and the LAWS of the LAND, NOONE has access to the Record, IT IS NOT PUBLIC RECORD, until the court made a ruling against Todd. And since the court found Todd, NOT Guilty, ALL records ARE Destroyed! That is the LAW! If anyone, during the Pending, or now, after Todd is found to be innocent, publicly post his personal information and any court recorders, will VIOLATE his privacy, and they are accountable, which is a CRIMINAL crime in itself!

This posting does not VIOLATE that, because there is NO private information, except the horrible treatment that Wal-Mart did to Todd. And since Ms. Miller, and the Police took the action, and it was found that Todd's story was TRUE, there is no violation as well. So, go-ahead call Wal-Mart, call everyone, it does not matter. I am not SCARED of any man or woman, because there is nothing to be scared of. I have had investigators in all areas examine this thread in extreme detail to make sure NOTHING has been violated, and I have been given a "green light", so in your FACE!

By this information, which is the basics of the RIGHTS of the people, and EVERY lawyer should know, as well as INVESTIGATORS, leads me to understand the people (insulters) aggressively attacking this posting and demanding and trying to tell me it is Public Record, is NOT an attorney and NOT an investigator! Most likely they are employed by Wal-Mart, and or rejected by the Military and or can never get a REAL investigator job!

It is within my RIGHT to post this Story, and it is commanded as a Christian to speak in the form to express the Story. For you to now DISCRIMINATE against my faith, because you disagree with my method of written is so outrageous, I try to keep myself from laughing so hard that my chest hurts. You have your opinion, and I have mine. You wish to be on Wal-Mart's side, and I choose to be on Todd's and the others that have been done wrong. But because you disagree with this posting, does not give you the RIGHT to try and VIOLATE the privacy of Todd.

With that said, I have heard you and the "insulters" ramble on for two weeks about proof that Wal-Mart does these things to people, and there you go, TONS of proof. And yet, while the LIGHT shines in your eye, you continue to attack this posting. SHAME ON YOU!

So, just for you, here is another REAL and horrible case that you're "Good-Old-Wal-Mart" has done to a person. Read it, and then go ahead and post another insult on this poor man's grave if you dare.

Man held down on burning pavement until he died

Wal-Mart loss prevention workers tackled a man suspected of stealing diapers - a new father with a two month old child - holding him down with a choke hold and knee to the back while he was shirtless on the scalding pavement of a Wal-Mart parking lot in Texas.

Wal-Mart loss prevention workers tackled a man suspected of stealing diapers - a new father with a two month old child - holding him down with a choke hold and knee to the back while he was shirtless on the scalding pavement of a Wal-Mart parking lot in Texas.

Wal-Mart LP's Kill Suspected Shoplifter

The incident was witnessed by dozens of shoppers, including a prominent Texas attorney, Charles Portz:

Charles Portz said he was getting out of his car when he saw a heavy blonde haired man being chased by five people who appeared to be security or store employees. He said he saw them wrestling the man to the ground. "The blacktop was extremely hot," said Portz "He had no shirt on and they wouldn't let him up off the blacktop." He said one of the men had Driver in a chokehold and had his knee in the back of his neck as the men tried to subdue him. "He kept trying to get up and they kept pushing him back down," Portz said.

According to Portz, Driver began to plead with them men. "He's begging, 'Please call an ambulance, let me up, do something, I'm gonna die," said Portz. He said the loss prevention employees called the police more than once, but another bystander called for an ambulance after realizing Driver was in trouble. Portz said he eventually began to plead with the Walmart employees. "I told them, this guy doesn't look like he's breathing," Portz said, "They said, 'He's all right." He says he continued to plead with the men, pointing out that the man's fingernails were turning gray. "They said he's just high on something," adding, "They just kept him pinned down for twenty minutes or more until the ambulance came." He said he believed Driver was dead when the ambulance left with him, but he was not certain.

The store employees could not have known that the witness who was pleading with them to let Driver get up from the hot pavement was a high profile Houston attorney, from the Portz and Portz law firm. He said after the man was handcuffed he continued trying in vain to persuade the Walmart employees to allow him to get up, even pointing out that a second pair of cuffs could be used to attach the ones already on Driver to a nearby truck trailer. "The problem is they kept him down on the blistering concrete with no shirt on," Portz reiterated. He said law enforcement arrived at about the same time as the ambulance.

Stacy Driver, shown with his father, Huey, in this family photo, died Sunday in the custody of Wal-Mart employees after the struggled to detain him in handcuffs for suspected shoplifting.
Security experts discourage the aggressive tactics used by Wal-Mart employees who struggled with a suspected thief who later died.

"Most retailers have a policy of not going into a chase or getting into a combative fight with someone," said Joseph LaRocca, vice president of loss prevention for the National Retail Federation.

Wal-Mart's corporate office on Tuesday refused to discuss its procedures
