A McDonald’s manager in Yuba City was rushed to the ICU with horrific burns after a co-worker allegedly threw scorching hot oil on him following their shift.
Jacob Smith, 20, suffered third-degree burns to his face, neck, hands and shoulders and is receiving specialized treatment at UC Davis Medical Center. Police said the attack happened May 30 when Smith’s co-worker, 23-year-old Jalani Bluett, is accused of attacking him.
Following the incident, Bluett was reported missing before authorities located him days later and took him into custody, according to CBS News.
Smith’s mother, Amber Smith, said her son, a manager at the restaurant, is engaged and working hard to build a life for himself.
While he faces a long road to recovery and remains in significant pain, she said he has stayed remarkably positive through the ordeal.
“My son has an amazing spirit and in the midst of all of this has been positive and trying to make us feel better,” Amber Smith said.

The 20-year-old is expected to undergo additional surgeries next week, including a skin graft procedure.
Bluett was booked into the Sutter County Jail and is facing a charge of battery causing serious bodily injury.

I swear, these children of Obeyme are so freaking thin skinned!
Another black on white crime. America has a dysfunctional black community that promotes violence.
Time to start doing AI personality testing for employment and housing. I promise, the results will be an improvement. A 15 minute voice AI interview and these violent MF****** would be gone.
Hair trigger temper is no way to go through life.
I just stay away from blacks anymore.
Their rate of violent crime is so many multiples of whites, it’s just common sense.
Watch your spelling!
Anyone asking ‘Why would he do this to me?’ has failed to recognize the obvious pattern.
“I just stay away from blacks anymore.”
Totally agree.
I really think a lot of it is from missing dads.
We have generations of missing fathers, in the black community.
Whoops, got pulled.
Told me all I needed to know.
HORRIBLE
My sister spent a number of years working in rural South Africa. She said the men of the village would NEVER tolerate what is “normal” behavior by blacks in the inner city. From what she said, “Jalani Bluett” would have disappeared. Never to be seen again.
Of course, part of that was because it was RURAL South Africa. Very different in their cities too! And...they left in the 90s knowing the future of SA was bleak.

Did I spell something wrong?
People who annoy you?
I am not following unless it’s my reference to hair? I literally meant impulsively angered.
