We are shocked by the video from a Baltimore franchised restaurant showing an assault. This incident is unacceptable, disturbing and troubling. McDonalds strives to be a safe, welcoming environment for everyone who visits. Nothing is more important to us than the safety of customers and employees in our restaurants. We are working with the franchisee and the local authorities to investigate this matter.
ditto
So what was this one, a franchise or a "company store"?
They can apple-bob for my business. The bastards pander to the bottom-feeding, black racist, hip-hop market; let ‘em live off it. Their food sucks, and they have become a public nuisance. Let them expire on the black buck. Stay the hell away from those places; they’re unsafe at any hour.
Spare me.
“If you can’t, then stop wasting bandwidth with your McDonald’s bashing and place the blame where it belongs.....the franchise owner.
Whatever happened to Personal accountability? Or is that only an expression used at your convenience?”
You mean personal accountability of “the franchise owner” or the personal accountability of the “company policy”, or the Personal accountability of the “people who stood by and did nothing, or the “Personal accountability of the employees that tried scooting the perps out before the cops got there” or the personal accountability of the actual people who did the beating?
Again, it McD’s has a hands off policy, they are culpable, whether your misinformed self likes it or not.
BTW, hows your Uncle doing? Must have quite a story to tell.
Actually, he told them to "get in our face". I guess that means with feet, shoes, boots....
We are working with the franchisee and the local authorities to investigate this matter.
Notice that there is no mention of a "Corporate Store"..........
A good lawyer will get someone off that charge. Police are not obligated to act, and neither are you. If you have neither the training nor equipment nor legal obligation, it’s your duty to, frankly, stay out of it. You’re not obligated to save the kid if you think you’ll get run over in the process. (different, of course, from the right thing to do - don’t get me wrong here.)
I watched that video wondering what I would do. Multiple attackers? Assault not quite up to “deadly or grave”? Not my fight to win? Deadly force legally too much? One punch in the wrong spot and I’m down for good? Staying out of it makes sense, sucks as it may.
He's still trying to explain your mother.........go figure.
And you know this how, exactly? I mean look at the 100 Meter Dash at the Olympics - any Olympics since 1970. It's all blacks, be they from Jamacia, USA, or even places like England that have very few blacks. Why is that? Is that culture too? No. Obviously not. Blacks are better at somethings than white are because of their genetics.
Is there anything, any area at all, where Whites might be, generally, better than blacks? Well in fact that question can probably be answered, but a lot of people have religious beliefs that don't permit it to be.
Black response to White vs. Black fight: Every black piles in to beat whitey.
White response to White vs. Black fight: I'm staying out of it. (even when it's 2 on 1 or more)
I suggest that we might need to rethink this reponse in light of current conditions.
Police are required to keep the peace. They, if there, have to break up the fight to do so.
As for the rest, courts have ruled that deadly force in defense of another is acceptable when that person can be reasonably assumed to be in fear for their life.
Lastly, Yes, it sucks and that’s true. But SOMEONE there could have had the ‘decency’ to stop it. Sometimes standing up for what is right/to defend another can result in personal injury...that whole Revolutionary War/Bill of Rights/Constitution thing and the reasons for them come to mind. But we have become a society that expects it all to be done for us with no threat to ourselves.
Sheesh....you really expect some MSM robot to get things right? Wanna buy a bridge? BTW, I really think the big letters in your post will change my mind now and make me relent...
The point is that McD's will distance themselves from this whether it is corporate or franchised. Hell, maybe McD's got smart after the Panama City [banned description]-freakout and decided to call all stores franchises now.
In the end, they will produce something that legally tries to absolve them from culpability.
Hey, you brought it up. Don’t blame me for asking.
Fine. Disagree.
Doesn’t matter. It is certainly a “franchise” store now. Regardless, if this store benefited from corporate advertising, sales of corporate product, access to new employees (via their new Obama ‘hire-fest’), argument could be made they fostered the culture...
twasnt a girl...
Thats what started the whole thing.<<<<<
If anyone here believes it would be ok to beat someone to death because they are trangender, gay or what have you then you are no better than the animals seen in this video
And that simply isn't true -- as the three of us pointed out.
So, don't complain that we corrected your misstatement. Or try to spin that you were actually right. You weren't.
It' unbecoming...
Get a sidearm and learn how to use it. Public violence is only going to get worse.
They must have misunderstood the meaning of “you deserve a break today”.
