McDonalds employee attacks two customers who jump counter, charged with felony

Apparently they gave him a fifty to pay for their food, he wouldn't accept it, then they hit him and jumped the counter. Then he went to the back, they tried following him, and he came back out with a metal rod and started beating the **** out of them, giving lacerations, fractures and a broken arm to them.

The server was previously in prison for manslaughter for a ten stretch.

The women (and it was hard to tell) but the women who attacked him are being charged with menacing and trespass, and he's probably going back to chokey. He's already been fired.

I dunno, I normally don't have much sympathy for this sort of thing, but those women were clearly interested in continuing a confrontation, and if they had left, or not hit him the situation wouldn't have escalated. I hope he gets off and they don't think they can be dicks to customer service staff who are doing their jobs.

Good on him he should have got a promotion.

Everybody knows McDonalds is bad for your health.

looks like a metal rod used in the oil filtering process he is hitting them with, that would hurt a lot and do damage, should have just blasted them with piss big mac sauce

in fairness, he went overboard but they deserved it for starting sh1t

I'm loving it....

I'd like to have seen the blonde "STOP!" chick getting beaten. Her voice is like nails on a chalkboard.

Pretty big vid making the rounds at the moment.
Two women arguing with a mcdonalds cashier in new york slaps the cashier and jumps the counter. The employee runs and grabs some sort of pole baton thing and retaliates.

Rayon McIntosh, the cashier, was charged with felony assault charges and criminal possession of a weapon. The two women were charged with trespass and disorderly conduct. One of the women suffered a fractured skull and a broken arm in the incident.

The question being brought up about the video is if the cashier was justified in her actions and in turn did she deserve such a charge.

every right to hit them at the start in defence but went overboard in the end

Yes justified - self defence - two people jumped the counter to attack her - she retaliate.

If it wasnt for the actions on the two people who jumped the counter nothing would have happened.

Well justified in my opinion. If you jump a counter to attack the staff, you've already established violent intent and the staff should be able to make sure that they remain unharmed - even if that means making sure that the attackers stay down.

He went totally overboard, even picking up that metal bar. A couple of girls being a bit loud, and you with all your coworkers there? Yeah they jumped the counter but no need to start cracking jaws.

Yes but the individual in question may have been making an attempt to retreat. You have no right to 'make someone stay down'. There's no such thing in law as 'self-offence'.

Only a numpty would want to offend themselves. Or maybe I offended myself last night...
