McDonald's shafts one of their own!
The Daily Change ^ | 2262009 | TDC

Posted on 02/26/2009 8:20:02 AM PST by TheDailyChange

Nigel Haskett was working at a McDonalds in Arkansas last summer when he witnessed Perry Kennon, a criminal with a long record beating a woman. Mr. Haskett tackled Kennon, threw him out of the restaurant, and then stood by the door to prevent reentry. Kennon went to his vehicle, grabbed a gun and proceeded to shoot Nigel Haskett multiple times. Haskett staggered back into the McDonalds and collapsed. Haskett has had multiple surgeries and medical costs are at $300,000 and counting.

McDonald’s has denied workers compensation benefits to Mr. Haskett.

" I consider him our culture's foremost authority on How NOT to Get Your Ass Kicked by the Police.

THAT is one of the funniest comedy videos/sketches I have ever see."

I'm glad I could expand the conversation a bit.

"How certain are you that Nigel knew all this going in to the situation?"

You should always have cause for concern and a sense of self preservation before wading waist deep into a domestic dispute. Cops won't do it without Kevlar and Glocks, why should anyone else??

I think you got one of your numbers upside down in your tagline.

"And after it was first publisized, the owner of the franchise has vowed to pay all of the bills for the employee if he doesn’t win his appeal."

That's a lot of Royales with cheese.

I’ve bought my last arteriosclerotic Big Mac from them! An entity so disloyal to its employees doesn’t deserve the business of any justice-driven person. You can eat just as unhealthily at White Castle or Jack In the Box.

No, 16th is correct.

I’ll stick with 16th.

And by the way, based on your other posts here regarding your unwillingness to step in and help another person who is being attacked by thugs, I am glad we live on seprate coasts.

I didn’t say I wouldn’t step in, I wouldn’t do so unarmed. I’m not muslim, I don’t aspire to be a martyr.

They have to save their money for payment of frivolous lawsuits. /s
They would have had no problem paying the victim being beaten in their restaurant if she had survived and sued them.

It’s a topsy-turvy world...no good deed goes unpunished.

You may agree with the Islam philosophy of mistreating women, but being pro woman is not being a democratic...you are mentally ill.

That’s ironic, since being sought by the police can usually be avoided by obeying the law. Now in certain national situations there might be a reason to be in opposition to the police, however drugs, drinking and other rebellious activity do not qualify.

The carrier is probably denying based that defending patrons and acting as security was not in his scope of employment. They would normally lose in most hearings since violence and shootings do happen in fast food places for burglary and just rage. So this was an associated risk that he could reasonable be exposed to and then be considered in the scope of his employment for providing customer service.

The carrier is stupid trying to deny this since it happened on the property and the employee was shot while doing a heroic act.

I will take your word for it as any kind of video overwhelms my dial-up connection.

However, that is not the point I was making. My point is that you obviously condone men hitting women in anger.

It may have been well over 20 years ago, but being repeatedly hit by your husband is not something any sane woman ever forgets.

Doesn’t matter what has transpired before. If a woman is being beaten by another man, any other man in view who does nothing is a coward.
