That video is very shocking and disturbing. I didn’t know they allowed white people into McDonald’s any more.

Follow up to the story: Two men arrested by Australian police for possessing an unregistered weapon. Although the two men claimed to have retrieved the weapon from a robber, police said it didn’t matter. Police explained that the men should have talked reason to the alleged attempted robbery suspect to prevent the robbery and not have approached the weapon.

The McD clerk brings the gun from behind the counter to around where the wrestling is going on. One of the helpful customers is like “WTF?” and grabs the gun and tosses it back over the counter. Like telling the clerk, we have this under control and please don’t help the perp!

The clerk, indeed, appeared to be helping the robber. He kept trying to pull the other guys off of him. Was he in on it, or was he just trying to protect his job because management has him trained to let the robber get away (”Let” and “Help” must not be that far apart in his head)?
