Wow, you care SO much for the well-being of your fellow man... Wait... Nevermind, I don't either, I just can't take it when people are so ignorant.jpoon said:
In any job where you work with the public, you're instructed on how to handle these situations, and touching the customer in any way is an immediate loss of employment. It doesn't matter if you're the cashier or the manager. The only thing you can do is call the police.maddawg IAJI said:
Most people feel that it isn't worth risking their job to stop something like this, and they're right. You won't get hired by anyone else if you can't follow the rules, and the rules in these situations are pretty clear.
And as far as the law goes, if you restrain even a dangerous criminal, you can(and likely will) become the target of a lawsuit. And more often than not, the criminal will win.
The only sure fire way to get out of a situation like this, as just an observer, is to call the police. You keep your job, you don't get sued, and the proper authorities will handle the rest.
DOUBLE KILL!
And that's what you get for fighting with a murderer!
But yeah, the 2 girls deserved it. What were they trying to do anyway? beat him until he took there money?
I mean, they got what was coming to them.
For the dude, at first it was self defence, but when they were both on the ground, probably suffering in an overcoming amount of pain from being hit in the face with a fucking metal bar, and he continued on beating them... yeah that's a little wrong...

yep, fluttershy is totally badass. Only thing she can't do is call in a sonic rainukeRadoh said:
Are you really gonna sit there and say that Germany doesn't have stupid people that do stupid things? I seem to recall a few news stories of riots in Germany after they lost in the 2010 World Cup semi-finals.Sonicron said:
There are a few Youtube videos of German people fighting with police at soccer games as well. And I'm sure that if I sat in on your local news for a bit, I could find things equally as bad as our McDonalds Incident here.
Germany is no better or worse than anywhere else when it comes to having stupid people.
The messed up thing you might get fired either way. If he just let'em jump the counter and wreck the back, toss around food and equipment. You can bet you'll hear the higher ups bitching about "Why didn't you stop it, You know that stuff costs a lot of money, etc". Or he just let them beat on him because his hands are tied since it's 2 vs 1 anything can happen. You might get fired because he looks like he couldn't handle yourself. If he wanted to sue he'll most likely lose because of 1 women beat him down and or McDonald is gonna swoop in with a settlement so fast he won't get a chance. The cops can't get there fast enough that's 5-15 min wait, anything can happen during that time. Plus why in the hell didn't anybody else co-workers or other wise called the cops until AFTER shit was taken too far.-Samurai- said:
When it comes to me. If you're being violent and you jump or come behind the counter. You're gonna get your ass beat. The customer has no right to harm me, my co-workers and or the equipment I'm working with. Excessive force? They're still alive aren't they? Don't cross a line if you aren't able to hold it simple as that.
Sure we have stupid people around here. Lots of 'em, in fact. But I keep up with the news, both the serious and the less serious, and we don't usually have customers attacking staff in a restaurant (or any other place, for that matter). I don't know, maybe we have things here you'd consider equally as bad, or even much worse, but to me this particular incident just screams 'extra strength crazy'.-Samurai- said:
As for the soccer thing, it's sports. People go nuts over sports events, it's a universal fact.
In any case, as much as it is my right to have this opinion, there was no need for me to express it in the way I did. It was offensive, and I apologize for that.
No, you're not ignorant because you don't care, you're ignorant because you were looking at the situation from your perspective and yours alone.jpoon said:
Are you mentally unstable? Probably not. So in that situation, you would have acted differently, and the outcome would have been less violent.
I won't argue that he's a criminal, but he's a criminal because his brain has a malfunctioning anger-switch, not because he's a prick who likes hurting people for fun.
I have an idea: Why don't I give you a metal pole, and have myself and a friend try beating you into the ground, you know, so we know just how you would react in that situation?
Common courtesy exists not to protect other people's feelings, but to protect us from unknown dangers that lurk around our urban living places. Who knows if the guy you are giving the finger to in transit is packing heat? Or the overworked and underpaid cashier in front of you has a criminal record? These women reaped what they sowed.
Girls deserved a punch to the face. But not a fucking metal rod. I wouldn't even want my worst enemy beaten to near death.
This just goes to show that you can't be too careful when dealing with people you don't know.
Guy obviously trying to start life over again, obviously someone with his background will have anger issues.
With those anger issues he probably wasn't really thinking so thats why he took it that far.
Those girls are amazingly stupid. First of all you don't follow someone into a place you could easily get hurt. There are deep fryers, its a enclosed space he can beat you down easily.
Second of all, even if there are two of you, women can't take on a man. Not trying to be sexist but unless you're a body builder or that guy is extremely small he can beat the shit out of you.
Also if I was a worker there I would not get close to that guy while he was swinging a metal rod. That co worker right next to him is fucking brave to even get that close to him.

It's funny how people claim they DESERVE to have been smacked with a metal rod, or that the cashier had the right to beat them. Yet did anyone ACTUALLY read the article about how the Cashier was a former VIOLENT OFFENDER who was convicted of manslaughter for the murder of a 17 year old classmate some years ago, or the fact that one of the girl's may now have brain damage and is still in the hosptial AFTER he beat her over the head repeatedly with the metal rod?
Sure a self defense situation would be viable HAD they actually attacked him, and HAD he not beaten them with a weapon. Legally in this situation, this guy is going to jail and he isn't ever getting back out (since proving that after being in for murder, he isn't safe to even work at those kinda jobs). By all rights the women DID start the incident, but it was the cashier who took it to the extreme.

Why the hell are McDonalds hiring someone has has murdered another person!?
He's clearly fucking mental and violent.
Everyone saying "***** deserved it!" -No. She did deserve something, a slap back maybe. Or even picking up the rod and threatening her with it, she should have backed away. Not getting beaten senseless by a metal rod!
Saying that, it's a shame the girl didn't learn any manners. You don't slap someone and start a fight over false money, he was just doing his job. She shouldn't be so arrogant to think you can prance into a shop and get away with fake money. When people act like that something like this is bound to happen, I wouldn't think this extremity though. ;_;
