McDonalds Worker Arrested For Self-Defense?

[WEATHER53]

No law obligating retreat so that you can get stabbed in the back
Much like pedestrians walking out in front of cars, the responsibility is being placed on the Wrong party

Whenever it comes to crossing a street on foot, I always yield to the cars. Cars stop and wave me along and I tell them to go. I appreciate the offer but I have no desire to step in front of 2500 pounds of steel that all it takes is a tap of the foot on the gas to run me over flat.

Cars are big machines and moving consuming fossil fuel. I'm just a dude on foot. It makes far more sense for me to simply stop for second than for them to bring a ton of automobile to a stop then have to start it moving again just for me.

It really pisses me off when I'm driving and pedestrians just walk out in front of me and don't even look or pay attention to whether I've stopped for them just because they are in a crosswalk!

That is a real act of faith in a few lines of paint on the street. Probably a good thing I no longer drive souped up 400 HP race engines with cams in them. I might be tempted to rev the engine and lay on the horn and make them crap their pants then ask them why they are so willing to blindly trust their lives to a total stranger just because they are SUPPOSED to stop?

But I'd probably get in trouble these days rather than thanked for teaching them an important lesson.

Never assume.

See this is called having sense for and of your own well being
The driver of a car is having to maneuver at speed with other cars close by and monitor his own vehicle and many others. Nobody really Can keep tabs on if a stationary, tiny by comparison pedestrian dim bulb is going to step out into the street.

How is it a man spits on you at the drive-thru window, then tries to climb in through the window attacking you and you break a coffee pot over his head in self-defense trying to stop him, and YOU get carted off to jail for

• Assault
• Reckless endangerment and
• Criminal possession of a weapon (a coffee pot)?

Only in America. The criminal is now the victim and the victim is the perp.

All it depends on what state you live in. Liberals states has their own policies. And which conservatives states let you make up your own policies when you are caught up in that type of situation.

 

[MacTheKnife]

It is quite obvious the attacker was black and the McDonald's employee was white. A good guess anyhow.

Also....not reported......the McDonalds employee was a female....that is a fact.

Guys you can be arrested and charged with anything. It's up to the DA to pursue the case. I don't think they can find 12 people to convict on these charges so they will most likely be dropped at arraignment.

This case is an indicator of a new phenomenon regarding self-defense....factors that did not exist at one time....such as defending yourself against an un-armed attacker....like an un-armed attacker cannot be a threat to your life.

A white defending himself against a black must now prove he is not a racist...if there is anything in his life and most especially on his computer that would indicate he is a racist....his claim of self defense just flew out the window.

Anyhow...not really knowing all the facts of this case...one thing is demonstrated....the cops on this case felt the need to arrest the McDonalds worker....I think most likely provoked by some police dept. pc policy.

Betting the "victim" is colored and the "attacker" is cracker

hehheh very likely....has to be some pc factor at play here. I am now leaning towards some police dept. pc policy as in the worker had a rather odd name.

the worker was also a female.....I dont know how that plays into this scenario but maybe it does somehow.

There is something wrong with New York. The employee was charged with criminal possession of a weapon. As if the assailant had a right to assault.

the culprit should be thankful that it wasnt Mike Tyson he was messin' with

 

[Montrovant]

I feel like there is information not provided in that very short article that would help explain the reasons the woman was arrested.

And was the weapon the coffee pot, or did she just happen to have an illegal weapon on her at the time she was arrested?

 

[Sun Devil 92]

Is the man being charged with anything.

I believe spitting at someone...especially with a new virus afoot, constitutes some kind of assault.

He better be charged.

1. Assault.
2. Attempted assault with intent to committ harm.
3. Breaking and entering.

WTF! She done good, only she didn;t kill the fuk.

It's called liberalism

It is, and always had been

 

[Picaro]

The employee was doing a fast reaction to the assault (Spitting) and when he was being threatened with more violence. What would you have done without thinking. I think his reaction was appropriate. It may be some time before the asshole customer tries that again.

If I was on the jury, I would award the employee with "Employee of the Month" award.

The real question is: WHERE IS McDONALDS IN DEFENDING THEIR EMPLOYEE? Why are they not paying the legal defense? What policy did the employee violate? What other method of self defense other than a coffee pot did the company provide? Who decided to charge this employee?

Bottom Line: When you work for any company, they force you to sign away all rights to them. Meantime, they reserve all rights to themselves. McDonalds will let this girl twist in the wind, she is on her own, they will throw her in the gutter and replace her with another. You have NO RIGHTS in America working for anyone. The employee is like garbage to corporate America and they will chuck you at the first sign of trouble while making sure they are totally protected from you. You think you have Worker's Comp? Even THAT is a joke. Get hurt at work due to their negligence and be prepared to spend a year in court to get 1/10th the real damages done to you.

America is a nation of big corporation rights too big to fail and the individual gets nothing but screwed. The rich get rich on the backs of the poor

Absolutely correct; corporations will never defend some flunky they employ; they're probably already offering the thug who assaulted their worker a thick wad of coupons for free stuff, and replaced the worker.. Yet millions of Americans suck up to these scum every minute of the day as if they will somehow get ahead and 'loyalty' will be rewarded. They will see you worse off than a Red Chinese peasant given half a chance.

You think it might have something to do with who had the serious injuries? I don't know, just wondering.
Quite an argument. Only in NYC

She should have been allowed to bury an axe in his head. Who gives a shit about the extent of his injuries? Why should that matter in a self defense case?

I don't know. I was just wondering.
I know in Maine, if cops are called to a domestic dispute and there has been any physical contact, it is the LAW that someone has to be arrested. Did these two have a relationship? .

Same here, and in most states these days; if you hit your spouse, whether you're male or female you're going to jail, period.

 

[Picaro]

If the thug had killed her McDonald's would have sued her family for the money they lost while the place was closed down until the city carted off the body, plus damages.

 

[Picaro]

Well, it was in the Bronx ... does that help any? The place looks like Warsaw after the Soviets captured it in WW II. If McDonalds' cared about its employees they would have bought them all Tech 9's and body armor.

Exactly.....but it is possible to deduce certain scenarios based on current events in regards to self-defense of which the right to self-defense has been eroded by certain cases based on political correctness and media hype dumbing down folks.

[JimBowie1958]

So now coffee pots are concealed weapons in New Yahk?

That would require a mighty big ass, but it is plausible in that place.
