It had seemed to the four clean-cut college freshman that night like a typical McDonald’s: spanking clean, well-lighted, and safe. It was in a good neighborhood too, right next to Texas A&M University in College Station – a campus known for its friendly atmosphere and official down-home greeting: “howdy”
Out on a double date, the two couples pulled into the parking lot of so-called “University McDonald’s” shortly after 2 a.m. that Sunday – and beheld a scene unlike anything portrayed in all those wholesome McDonald’s television commercials. Before them, hundreds of young black males were loitering about, some without shirts.
Other local residents — the more cynical and world-weary, both whites and most blacks — would have taken one look at the crowd and driven off, dismissing many of the young and posturing black males as thugs. But not them: innocent white kids from the suburbs. They presumed this was post-racial America — and that they were in an easy-going college town.
Twenty minutes later, two of them were dead.
Incredibly, the race of the assailants was scrubbed from local news coverage; and utterly missing from tersely written wire-service stories about a Brazos County jury’s whopping $27 million negligence verdict on July 30 against “University McDonald’s” – an outlet owned by the Oak Brook, Illinois-based fast-food giant. What the media considered unmentionable nevertheless loomed over a riveting seven-day trial, which came amid the growing phenomenon of black-on-white violence — unprovoked attacks on whites and black mob violence like the so-called “knock-out game.”
Chris Hamilton, lead lawyer of the small Dallas firm that humbled the corporate giant, was asked, during a phone interview, how many reporters had even bothered to inquire about the race of the assailants during the many interviews he gave.
“You’re the only one,” he replied.

They deserved to be sued. Affirmative action hiring is not a logical way to run any business, private, government or otherwise. It bit McDonalds on the butt big time.
You don’t need to shoot a hundred if you are facing a mob. Just shoot the first few you see, and the rest will probably run away.
Put a few down dead or screaming. The rest will scatter like cockroaches.
From the reports I have read, it would be suspected that more than a few of the 400 would also be ‘carrying’.
Not only tolerate it,
If McDonald’s had more black workers this wouldn’t have happened.
Sickening.
Ahhhhh...yes...the proverbial “reverse” lynch mob mentality...
When someone eventually defends themselves from thus type if threat and manages to survive...I wonder if we might be able to see a change in the narrative from any news sources???
The sound you might be hearing is me not holding my breath...
What a shame this country is in..That we will see a lot of people die for no reason...
That’s a racist assault weapon!!!
/sarc
I really would not be worrying abt picking up spent casings...
It would be the last thing, before I pull up and order my Happy Meal...Then drive off...
But this would make me a racist in the conventional narrative that passes for news these days...
Studies of riot suppression show that you only have to disable the first couple dozen before the mob breaks and runs, in general. Magazine capacity is an additional weapon.
Re-reading that article, if I’d have seen “hundreds” of them loitering at Mickey-Ds, I would either not pulled in, or driven my Jeep over anything in my way to get the hell out of there. That said, I’m now carrying another extra Galco 2-mag paddle holster. 40 shots is better than 24.
Thanks for your post, I heard this on Michael Berry this morning.
Texas is a big place, and Brazos County is a world apart both philosophically and politically from Travis County.
Don’t hold Austin against the rest of us.
