McDonald's employees shot after asking angry customers to leave dining room

[left-of-center2012]

Two angry customers shot two McDonald's employees in Oklahoma City on Wednesday when the customers were told to leave the restaurant's dining area.

Restaurant dining rooms remained closed in Oklahoma due to the coronavirus pandemic. When two women entered the restaurant on Wednesday, employees told them they would need to leave because the dining room was closed.

The comments sparked an argument. Eventually, one of the customers pulled out a gun and shot two male McDonald's workers. Both were transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

A third McDonald's employee, a woman, sustained injury when she fell and hit her head during the brawl.

Police apprehended the two suspects nearby shortly after.

So much for that one.

2. If the dining room is closed

then the dining room is closed.

Did they think firing off a few rounds was going to get it open again?


Oh... yeah.... THEY WEREN'T THINKING!

7. Gun-crazies need an excuse to get crazy with their guns.

Any excuse will do...

3. Shit like this going on is really going to encourage people to go out. Now you don't

just have to worry about being exposed, you have to worry about someone pulling out a gun over restrictions. It's certain you even have people going out with symptoms that think it's just a cold, because they are being taught to make believe it's all a hoax.

4. They need some life terms in prison to cool off. nt

5. Just a guess: customers white, employees black?

8. Does the customer look white to you?

"A woman was arrested after four McDonald's employees were injured in an assault in southwest Oklahoma City, police said."

10. Jeeze no. Sorry didn't see the pic. Now I really don't get it.

[cwydro]

12. Wrong.

[Walleye]

15. Just goes to show what a mistake prejudice can lead us to.

My mistake

[cwydro]

19. Yup.

[Solomon]

21. True but it's not like you didn't have reasons for thinking so.

6. Let me guess.....they are Trump supporters

Would not surprise me in the least, since Trump talked about using the 2nd Amendment. Time to vote Trump out of office!

9. There is one female shooter.

11. Hope they'll face 3 attempted murder charges, but know they won't

in Oklahoma.

[cwydro]

14. Have you seen the suspect pic?

I think she’ll face charges.

[ooky]

13. Trump has emboldened his supporters to the point that some of them

must be starting to believe their 2nd Amendment rights extend to being able to shoot people who don't agree with them. This is getting more frequent lately.

17. I highly doubt the shooter, a 32 y/o black woman, is a Trump supporter

20. Seems unlikely.

[ooky]

22. Yea, that put's a different slant on the story alright.

Definitely less likely anyway.

[dixiegrrrrl]

16. Was waiting for that to happen, after the 1st shooting.

'cause that is always the pattern of shootings, and now any worker of any public facility can be a target
of any person who does not like being told "No".

18. Where were the good guys with guns?

Ya know, like Matt Dillon from Gunsmoke who always wins against the bad guys?

Right-wingers live in a fantasy world!
