He knew the rules of the company he was working for. He continued to work there knowing the rules. He chose to break the rules. He needs to deal with the consequences of that decision.
I would hope you are the minority given your "zero tolerance" opinion.
Just like "zero tolerance" laws punish the wrong people, the nature of a "life & death" situation does not allow for arm-chair-quarterbacking.. If you witness a horrific car accident and stop to help as a "good samaritan" and in the course of helping, the person dies or is further injured, the "good samaritan" is shielded from liability IN MANY STATES under good samaritan laws.
If you witness a car accident with a small fire underway, you would HOPEFULLY rush to their aid, and if you had a fire extinguisher, you would bring that!
It's not different to rush to someone's aid carrying a gun if IT'S A FRIGGIN SHOOTING.
Only a coward or a liberal would remain in their apartment and call 911 and "let the professionals handle it"
This is the problem with our country.. If a lawyer witnesses a car accident, he's not stopping as a good samaritan, he's trying to drum up business.
