I’m betting they’re “judgment-proof,” i.e., don’t have any assets that a civil suit could get at. Civil side is going to be mainly McDonalds. The girls are definitely up for a few felonies, though the law protects passive observers who have no special duty to intervene. Sad but true. You can walk by the murder of a stranger in progress, do nothing, and be innocent in the eyes of the law, if not God. I know the employee’s did more than that, advising departure, so maybe aiding and abetting to snag them. But even if the McD lawyers wrote policy telling these guys not to get involved, I’d argue they should have anyway, and if losing their job is the price to pay for saving a life, so be it. But I guess that’s too much to ask, given the pervasive race hatred that conditioned this event.
The employees could have guided her into the back to sit down at least! This is B.S!
“I’m betting they’re “judgment-proof,” i.e., don’t have any assets that a civil suit could get at.”
You’re probably correct there which is why we need a law that states if a judgment is made the perpetrator is no longer eligible for any taxpayer assistance, be it housing, food, or education. This BS would end if they knew the gravy train would come into its last stop.

It is not too much to ask the manager to lock the doors when the criminals bugged out the first time. That is basic and McD will rightly pay out for it. I would like to see this cameramen charged as an accessory for his statements. This filming for entertainment on the internet is incitement.
For "bystanders" in a public place perhaps. But employees when the violence is occurring inside their place of business?
