Re: McDonald's Cashier Loses It
That's pretty funny FD
And Matty, I agree they're all to blame. Still, it's not like this guy was cornered alone. There were plenty of other people there to help him. And his co-workers were trying to help stabilize the situation but appeared terrified of him.

Re: McDonald's Cashier Loses It
If they were wearing Dalls shirts the second beating would have been justified.

Re: McDonald's Cashier Loses It
In my opinion, when you're attacked you have every right to use as much force is required to be safe again, which includes deadly force. One can never tell exactly how much force is appropriate -- especially in the heat of the moment -- and when defending yourself it's best to err on the side of caution.
A lot people here are saying that he didn't need to use so much force to be safe, but that cannot be judged by looking at such a short and low quality video. I think we'd be better off if we assumed in his favor until further evidence warrants otherwise.

Re: McDonald's Cashier Loses It
That horrible and the guy giving the beating should have charges pressed against him for his actions which went to far. The woman and her friend should have charges pressed against them for assault and disorderly conduct as well. But i have no sympathy for her or her friend that got beat. zero.
If you want to pick a fight, hit or slap in this case and then go after the person, you have to accept the consequences of what goes along with that action. if it was the cashier on the ground, they woulda handed out a similar beating.

But yeah, I believe both equally responsible for blantent criminal actions. Your looking simple assault and disorderly for the couple. your looking assault with a deadly weapon, malicious wounding for the Mickey D's batting champ or the winner of the fight.

Re: McDonald's Cashier Loses It
I think initially when the women jumped the counter and came after him, he had every right in the world to defend himself.
After the women fall to the floor and they're obviously injured and are in no way able to harm him, it's changed from self defense to assault. You think they're gonna be stupid enough to come after a dude with a weapon? I don't care who you are, you pull a weapon of any sort on me and I'm out. And shame on his co-workers. Did absolutely nothing to help him out. You don't wanna jump in front of him, but if he's wielding a weapon and bashing some womens faces in, you'd think SOMEONE would try to grab him, the weapon or the women. Around 45 seconds into the video the dude stops hitting the women, shakes his head up and down in a way that says, "Oh yeah? Now what are you gonna do" and then hits them a few more times. Its at that point I think it went from self defense to assault. As lame as it sounds, with all the drama that goes on at fast food restaurants, I really think companies should strongly consider hiring security guards.

I find it baffling that they aren't charging the woman for assaulting that man in the first place. But the comments by the McDonalds' owner is the most hilarious. "Operating safe, welcoming restaurants is my top priority. I am fully cooperating with authorities in the investigation.” They are so worried about being safe that not only did they decline 24/7 security from off duty NYPD officers, but they also hired a fresh out of jail convicted felon who had served time for a violent crime. I'm not bashing on the guy, i'm truly not, but i'm trying to understand the decisions of the Mc-Owner who went to the college of McDonalds Hamburgerology. They are already in a hood, they have incidents in there all the time according to other news articles, so its hard to feel bad for them. Still aghast that no charges are being filed on the woman who initially started the fight by slapping, punching, and chasing the man who initially tried to get away.

HA, so true. Especially in this case. There are usually two kind of cashiers at McDonalds. Someone's first job, or some who is extremely unhappy with how life has turned out. I'd honestly rather take my chances throwing hands with Shane Mayweather than piss off a McDonalds cashier. You might be poking a sleeping giant with access to a whipping stick.
