Mcdonald's customers get beat on by cashier

[kiroj]

I looked at the video and I think he was justified in his actions right up until he kept hitting them while they were down and screaming. They only slapped him, they did not try to stab or shoot him. He lost his temper and took it too far. OTOH, the two women were stupid cunts and I really hope they suffer some legal penalties for their actions as well as the lingering pains from their beatings.

Agree.

If, in the course of my whole, "men shouldn't hit women" spiel I've ever given the impression that I felt sorry for these women, let me dispel that right now. Watching the guy freak out and hammer the two women bothered me. He took it too far, and (as I said before) I just don't like to see guys go off on women that way. The stupidity and rudeness of the two women is not in dispute.

[Aeinna]

I finally decided to watch the video. I cringed at the end, not because they were women, but because that shit had to hurt. It doesn't bother me that he did it to women, they asked for it. I don't care if you are a male or female, you think you can treat people that way, one day you are gonna fuck with the wrong person and get a well deserved lesson.

Don't fuck with someone if you can't back it up.

Bump.

It might be OFN now, but I just heard that this guy went free, and is suing McDonalds.

Thanks for posting that Vkhaun. I hope he doesn't win a civil suit, but I'm glad he was cleared of all charges.

Also, regarding his past as a felon who killed someone:

1.) I'm glad he was working, and had a job. Even though it was a crappy job as a cahsier/cook at McDonald's the reality is we punish former criminals too often after they served their time. A lot of times they can't even get a job.
2.) Those women, really did mess with the wrong mother fucker didn't they? Hahahah

Pretty much, yep. I'll be sad if he actually wins the civil suit though.

[Stalis]

I hope he does win the suit tbh. They fired his ass. Can't be easy getting a job as an ex-con and they fired him for no good reason imo except to save their ass some possible bad publicity. If there is ever a decent reason to sue someone, that has got to be it.

[Zavon]

He's suing because McDonald's wouldn't hire a "security" person there. Apparently, he felt unsafe working there. That, in my opinion does not warrant monetary compensation.

[Canadiantx69]

He's suing them because they fired him to prevent a potential negative PR problem, not because they wouldn't hire extra security.

If that is the case, I hope he wins.

[Sillywilly]

If that is the case, I hope he wins.

Actually I do too.

If he doesn't then this opens up a whole other can of worms for people to troll you at work and get you fired. If I don't like someone I can just walk in and start provoking them and put any retaliations (and possibly in a dishonest light) on youtube and make a PR mess out of it to get them fired.

A guy shouldn't lose his job for defending himself because of PR.

Um.. from one article:

MANHATTAN — Rayon McIntosh — the Greenwich Village McDonald's cook who was cleared Friday evening of felony assault charges for beating two unruly female customers — said he was overjoyed to be free after spending nearly seven weeks in jail and plans to sue the fast food eatery for not keeping him safe.

"I'm just glad to be home," McIntosh, 31, told DNAinfo after being released from Rikers Island Friday night. "I feel elated, I feel splendid."

In the first in-depth interview since his release, McIntosh — who garnered an outpouring of support after DNAinfo's "On the Inside" broke the news of the shocking videotaped Oct. 13 incident — said that he and other employees had told managers and franchise owners of the West 3rd Street McDonald's for months that they needed to hire more security.


"We were begging them to get security," McIntosh said by phone early Saturday morning. "The McDonald's itself is a problematic store. It has a high, concentrated number of people every day.

"In the Village, it's crazy."

McIntosh, who was fired, plans to hire a lawyer to take "civil action" against the eatery and said he will never work for the fast food mega-chain again.

A spokeswoman for McDonald's USA said the 136 W. 3rd St. restaurant has had security on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights since July. After the McDonald's attack, which occurred on an early Thursday morning, guards were posted on Wednesday nights as well, spokeswoman Ashlee Yingling said.

A gay man was severely beaten at the restaurant in April and workers at neighboring businesses have said that the McDonald's has been a trouble spot.

Police sources told DNAinfo after the incident that McDonald's management chose not to hire off-duty NYPD officers to patrol the restaurant because it "wasn't in their financial interest."


And from the other article:

I do plan on bringing a civil suit against McDonald’s for putting me in danger,” McIntosh said. “If a security guard would have been there, this wouldn’t have happened.”

The franchise owner, Carmen Paulino, countered that one of her “top priorities” is to maintain a safe establishment.

She said she has long had private security workers on Friday and Saturday nights. She added security personnel on Wednesday and Thursday nights after the Oct. 13 incident.

“First let me say that I, along with my employees, are happy for Rayon and that he was released and cleared of all charges,” Paulino said.

I'm inclined to agree. He was fired for basically defending himself. That sounds pretty fucked to me.

Zavon, suing them over unsafe working conditions is far more likely to pay off than suing them because they fired him.

"I was unsafe, give me money".
"I was fired, give me money".

What's he's suing them for and why he's suing them don't need to be the same thing.

[VKhaun]

"I was unsafe, give me money".
"I was fired, give me money".

What's he's suing them for and why he's suing them don't need to be the same thing.

Can one also lead to another? Once he has two judgments saying that he did not act criminally and that it was an unsafe place to be, would that open the window to sue them for wrongfully firing him?

[Ziel]

I don't know. If there are no laws preventing him from bringing two different suits for two different things from the same "incident" (I'm not a lawyer, so I'm only guessing that such a thing might exist), then I imagine a victory from the first suit would be beneficial for the second.

He isn't suing McDonalds for firing him. He's suing for them not providing a safe environment while he worked there. But still now that I rethink it he shouldn't need that middle man if I was right. Simply being acquitted of a crime would mean it was wrong to fire him... but they probably do 'at will' employment where they don't need a reason to fire you anyway.

Thus what he's suing them for is not the reason he's suing them. As you said.

[VKhaun]

The lady he beat up, is now suing HIM
http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/...icle-1.1176408

Can't find any info on if he ever filed/won/lost vs McDonalds, but knowing McDonalds he probably got some cash quietly out of court.

[Zoobi]

If she wins I will lose my faith in humanity.

[dr.wang]

It should be an employees right to beat customers.

[Sillywilly]

Agree.
