FORT WALTON BEACH, Fla. — A Florida Chick-fil-A employee is being hailed as a hero after deputies said he stopped a carjacking outside the fast food restaurant.
Okaloosa County deputies said the young employee rushed outside the Fort Walton Beach area restaurant to help a screaming woman holding a baby after a man grabbed her keys and tried to take her car.
Investigators said the woman was getting the baby out of her car when a man identified as William Branch walked up to her wielding a stick and demanded her keys.
Branch then grabbed the car keys from the waistband of the woman’s pants, opened her car door and got inside the car, investigators said.
When the woman began screaming for help, deputies said the Chick-fil-A employee ran to intervene.

A GOOD Florida Man story.

they help people in FL because it’s a red state with red AG’s. If this happened in L.A., they would have a parade for the kidnapper.

it wants you to remove your ‘ad blocker’ software, but if you hit ‘escape’ before the ad blocker notification appears you can read the article.

As long as we allow sticks in our society this will continue to happen.
When are we gonna have commen-sense stick control with background checks?
C’mon man!
Talk about a stick up!

And some ambulance chaser will likely sue Chik-Fil-A for any injuries to the perp.

If this has been a blue lefty state, the protecting employee would be in jail.
