A McDonald’s restaurant in the progressive Washington, D.C. suburb of Fairfax County, Virginia has banned under 21-year-olds from indoor dining after “repeated incidents of student violence.” Adults must ring a doorbell to be let in by staff.

The McDonald’s is located just outside the Beltway in the Franconia neighborhood between Alexandria and Springfield. It has been a popular hangout for students of several nearby schools, including Thomas A. Edison High School.

A sign posted at the door says, “RING THE DOORBELL SAFETY NOTICE: Effective immediately. Due to repeated incidents of student violence, this McDonald’s location is temporarily closed for dine-in service to anyone under 21 years of age. The decision was made to protect our staff, our guests, and our community. Adults — we are still here to serve you! Please ring the doorbell, and a member of our team will assist you. We thank you for understanding as we work to keep our restaurant a safe and welcoming place for all. Management.”

Under 21s can still use the drive-thru and pick up meals ordered on the app.

A video report by WRC-TV shows young people involved in massive fights inside the McDonald’s:

Common sense should tell you everything about the culprits.

[Sicon]

Ah, liberalism!

[dfwgator]

“This is why we can’t have nice things.”

[E. Pluribus Unum]

This is obviously racist.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

"Youths". Dark youths. Dusky youths. "Them" youths.

Hmmmmm.....how does McDonald’s know they are students?

[simpson96]

Let me guess...not Honor Society students, Science Club students, Mathletes, etc, etc.

I’ve heard of some grocery stores having certain hours of the day, where no students can enter without a adult.
Less loitering, less swarming and pushy behavior, less teenage cars invading the parking lots en masse. Less sitting in their cars while vaping or smoking dope with windows wide open.
There are always the kids who want to challenge that rule, making it harder for the rest of them.

Oh those pesky Amish and their hilarious hijinks.

Fairfax County used to be a safe place to raise a family with excellent schools. Since being taken over by Democrat progressives, it no longer is

The same way the media knows that a bunch of looters on video are ‘teens’.
