Another fool with a gun

ok thanks..that was on the news the other night in fact...they were in the car, and the hopefully now former employee, was shooting at someone else.....

why would a micky d's employee, need a gun..????
 
I'm curious, since the incident occurred on McDonald's property, and was committed by a then currently employed individual, will McDonald's be covering the family's medical expenses? Or instead, take the position that said perpetrator has been terminated and it's not our responsibility ...

Bets, anyone?
 
McDonalds may have been the location and employer of the shooter; but I hard pressed to connect them to being financially responsible unless they had additional involvement

i think "involvement" might be possible if said location was corporate owned, and thus hired by corporate...

or

franchise owned......

if franchised owned.......that "might release" corporate of any liabilities..???

i as an example, applied to several micky d's in my area, as an ordinary cleaning man (janitor) to work part time hours, a few days a week, to keep myself busy..

there is signage on the door, if it is franchised owned......
 
Hi,

There's a lot I'd like to see followed up on with this story. Was Mr. Blue legally carrying? Was he threatened at his place of employment? If so, have his attackers been identified and tracked down? What's the motive? Gangs? Drugs? Personal vendetta? Enquiring minds want to know.

Guess I'll have to search for this story in future news. But I'll probably forget.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

Other than "deep pockets" and anti-corporation biases, why in the hell would it be McDonald's responsibility? I'm betting McDonalds has a policy against employees carrying guns. Maybe it the gun manufactures fault. God forbid we solely blame the shooter. :mad::mad::mad:

Well , concealed carry in N.C. is for 21 & up , so no he wasn't carrying legal .

The first linked news piece reported that the incident was precipated by events from outside that city .

Mr Blue was repeatedly on his way to work , and had not yet started his shift .

McD's position will probably be along the lines of : Blue was not acting within his job duties , nor operating in any way on behalf of McD , nor in complience with McD rules , policies , or guidelines .

Plaintiffs could potentially alledge that McD was negligent in their Generalized Security measures , for that area , or industry standards for fast food joints .

Probably not anything regarding Blue specifically , unless something like Blue told the Mgr that he was planning to have a drug related shootout tommorow , and Mgr told him to be strapped , and be on his toes .

THIS is what pisses folks off about the CIVIL Courts, failing anything directly linking McDonalds, they should be clear of any financial responsibility.
 
Should they be ? Did McD do anything to contribute ?

Blue & his Co Combatant had their own ongoing dispute that had nothing to do with McD . They would have gone High Noon on each other on sight , wherever that occured . Just happened to happen when Blue was on his way to work . It had nothing to do with the selling of overpriced greasy food , or McD specifically .

Is it an expected expectation for every fast food place to have a tactical team in place in their parking lot during all business hours ?

Not known background - In that town , are fast food restraunt shoot outs a common routine event ? If they were , it probably would have been promently mentioned in the news coverage .
