A woman who was upset that her Burger King order took too long got a man to come to the restaurant and shoot one of the employees, according to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office.

A witness said the restaurant was busy that night and the drive-thru was backed up, which caused customers to have to wait longer than usual.

One woman who was in line was mad about the delay so she got out of her vehicle and began yelling that she was going to have “her man” come to the restaurant, so an employee refunded her $40 and asked her to leave, records show.

The woman waited in the parking lot in her black sedan for a few minutes then drove away and returned with a white truck with a man identified as 37-year-old Kelvis Rodriguez-Tormes, who was demanding that Joshua fight him, deputies said.

A witness intervened to stop the fight when Rodriguez-Tormes put Joshua in a headlock and started choking him, according to the affidavit.

Deputies said after the witness pulled Rodriguez-Tormes off of Joshua, Rodriguez-Tormes then went to his truck and got the gun, telling Joshua, “You got two seconds before I shoot you.”

Shortly thereafter, Rodriguez-Tormes shot Joshua then he fled in the white truck while the black sedan also fled, deputies said.

“Shooter on left...guy he shot on right.”

That would be the “shootee”.

“At Burger King, the safety of team members and guests is our top priority."

Mealy-mouth jive-ass corp-speak.

He had just gotten the job....

Was probably still learning the procedures, and for reasons only God knows a savage pair of beasts walked into his day.

He was doing what so many on this forum want: getting out there and working. His family is grieving. Yet every other post in this thread seems to find this murder comical.

Excerpt: “It should be noted that Joshua had a record of being previously detained on suspicion of burglary, battery, petit theft, trespassing in occupied structure & resisting an officer with violence. He was bonded on $1100 bail in August 2019. But recently, he had started goodwill efforts to redeem himself and what he got in return was a gunshot that took away his life.“

But he didn’t kill anyone in that scene.

“Yet every other post in this thread seems to find this murder comical.”

Agreed, and it is not. Also agreed with those that the woman also needs to be arrested and charged, just the same as if she was just driving the getaway car, etc.

Read the excerpt several times. Didn’t see that.

Hambone read the story. You did not.

Stunning idiocy on the shooters part......and he had plenty of time to think before he got there.....just stupid as all get out!

[caww]

This murder was a clear cut case of these animals acting and reacting based on emotions alone.....

[NEMDF]

Yes.

[MplsSteve]

LOL!

[xp38]

This kind of stupid should get the death penalty.

Well, he was doing his job until he went outside the restaurant to fight the other guy. The article is light the details about that. Wonder why he decided to do that. Scum like this couple is never worth fighting. Should have stayed inside and continued to do his job.

I’m sure it all comes down to somebody got dis-respekted.

He was put into a chokehold. Easy peasy, liberals, just make chokeholds illegal.

Bigger idiots out there...HIS FAMILY OR FRIENDS HAVE A GOFUNDME PAGE FOR THE KILLER...KELVIS RODRIGUEZ TORMES

White guy murders a black victim at burger king.
Here we go again. EVERYONE agrees this was blatant cold blooded murder. My only question is how will Antifa react?
Will they burn down Burger king because the black victim was a slave to the system?
Will they brake windows at the Mayors house whom Jerry Demings is black?
Will they play chicken on the freeways in Florida?
Will they ransack the homes around on Ron DeSantis home the Governor of Florida?

Looks like it was taken down?

That thought has crossed my mind while standing at the deli counter, but I would never say anything. I was the "new guy" more than once in a job, and I remember appreciating customers that realized that and gave me the gift of patience. If only the thugs in this article had been capable of thinking of anyone other then themselves.

"That group itself is responsible for murders far in excess of its demographic slice." Reply: But it's racist to say so....

Yes, everybody could guess I meant the Tokelauans.

Tokelau territory includes three far-flung coral atolls - Atafu, Nukunonu and Fakaofo. A Polynesian territory of New Zealand in the South Pacific. Lying between New Zealand and Hawaii, Tokelau has few physical links with the wider world.

But those rascals can kick up some ruckus on a Saturday night in Chicago, lemme tell ya.
