A forgotten cheeseburger sent two McDonald's drive-through patrons into a rage Friday.
The pair stormed into the West St. Paul restaurant, loudly cursed at the staff about the botched order and later allegedly clubbed an intervening customer with a baseball bat.
Dakota County prosecutors on Monday charged Miguel Hernandez, 18, and Michael Anthony Lee, 19, with a felony — making terroristic threats.
It's the second fast-food rage case to come across Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom's desk this week. A confrontation with a customer in an Arby's drive-through in Burnsville the same day landed Robert Chan Nguyen, 19, in jail, charged with second-degree felony assault.
Manila Shaver, deputy police chief in West St. Paul, said citizens who witness a loud public dispute, such as occurred at the McDonald's, are left with a difficult choice.

You never, ever, leave the window, until you have made a complete inspection.
Exceptions are few.
Pal's in East Tennessee never makes a mistake.
Begging for spitburgers.
Sadly, food workers need very little encouragement to defile your food these days.
lol
dey beat you at da drive-tru ,too.
....I know what they mean...Just last night, my local 7/11 ran out of OREOs', they had milk, but NO OREOs...almost when Postal. :))
as a yute at a drive through I had some other yutes behind me screwin' around in their car trying to see how close they could come to my cycle without hitting me. they eventually did. got to see
how a helmet becomes a blunt instrument.
What the hell did you order that is so freakin' complicated???
Order the standard stuff, it's on the menu for crying out loud!"
-The guy behind you.
Yeah, I guess you're right.
Eggs benedict is not on the regular McDonald's menu.
>>Yeah, I looked in my rear view mirror, and it was clear theg uy was honking at me, not at the employees. <<
You the guy that bought 12 sandwiches all custom, 3 meals, 9 drinks, and don't have the money ready when they ask and dig through your car to find the cash. After handing the cash over, you drop a quarter, so get out to look for it for five minutes.
That you? It was me beeping.
Well, yes, I did all that. But you forgot to mention that I complained that they weren't selling breakfast anymore for about 2 minutes.
"I love making her mad by doing exactly what she wants."
I read that once upon a time "malicious compliance" was a court martial offense.
First: I might be able to work up a little sympathy for these guys, all else being equal.
Second: Charged with making terroristic threats? Putting something like this on a par with suicide bombing etc is uncalled for.
terroristic threats statute in MN has been around long before 9/11 and is unrelated to murder bombers.
I don't feel sorry for them. they're idiots.
Often more worth it to go inside.
Your order doesn't get as messed up then....
Anyone want to take bets on how long *this* marriage is going to last?
Shut off the engine. Get out and walk back, and ask, "Excuse me; are you trying to get my attention? In case you needed help, I already called 911. The police should be here shortly" Walk back, get in, restart engine.
1. Do not try this if you are not armed.
2. Do not do this if you have NOT called to report a disturbance.
3. Especially do not do this if, glancing in your mirror, you notice the guy looks like Bluto's body guard, and you don't have a can of spinach in your pocket.
***Anyone want to take bets on how long *this* marriage is going to last?***
Thirty two years so far.
For some reason, I find this picture funny as hell.
