A man who robbed a McDonald’s customer at gunpoint on the West Side was hospitalized after the restaurant’s patrons ganged up on him and beat him until Chicago police arrived, officials said. And, prosecutors claim, it was the second time in ten days that the gunman had robbed the same victim inside the same restaurant.

But this robbery ended a little differently. According to a CPD report, Johnson was “tackled, held on the floor, and beaten by unknown bystanders until police arrived.”

Officers arrived to find Johnson lying face down on the floor with “a crowd of individuals holding him down and kicking him about the head.”

A strange mix of Christmas spirits and a McRib?

Even his deadly extended magazine didn't help him this time.

Sadly the jamoke survived.

Let me guess - the patrons were arrested by police....

Not of the patrons were one of the approved colors. That gives them a Mario invincibility star.

This is the second time recently that McDonalds customers have helped capture a criminal including the New York shooter.

“No doubt if Crimesha was still in office, she’d be charging all those Good Samaritans for daring to .....what? West side? People (or Folks?)

Never mind. Well done unknown citizens.”

Maybe ordinary people are finally getting tired of punks ruining everything.

You’re probably right.

But then, it’s good to see Demographic act on the correct side for a change.

Reminds me of a scene from a TV show I saw before the turn of the century, where a robber has a nightmare where he is robbing a restaurant and he turns around to see everybody in the restaurant has a gun pointed at him.

A feel-good story to start off the day - outstanding work by those McDonald's patrons.
