Question is did the ignorant women learn anything? Put yourself in that situation ya better expect a beat down. He should of used his hands and choked a bitch.

[ceyko]

I'd maybe put him on a little probation or community service.

Those two women would at least get some dreamed up misdemeanor at least. Jesus. Common sense is leaving this country like jalapeno induced diarrhea.

I understand he had a prior conviction of manslaughter, but look at what they did. Also, look at the mob videos, the other videos of similar things at McDonalds (of which we know about) and what do you expect people to do.

If trying, fast food can be sweaty/pain in the ass work. None of those employees get paid enough to get slapped and chased around. I can't fault him at all, even the later hits. People need to start learning how to act like damned adults and with respect.

Hell, that's the worst - it's mostly people of adult age doing this crap that gets videoed.

[VaderTT]

Finish them!

[LaserSVT]

Kinda shocked at how many videos there are of a black woman at McDonnalds freaking out and attacking the workers. Usually over chicken mcnuggets. WTF is up with that? When I saw the first video I shrugged it off but by the 6th video it has me wondering whats up with black women and McDonnalds?

[OreoStang]

He wasn't fighting obscenities, they attacked him and chased him while he was presumably retreating. At that point I feel like he was absolutely in the right to defend himself. He had no way of knowing if this crazy bitch who just slapped him and jumped over the counter to chase him had a gun, knife, etc. His problem is that he kept swinging once they were on the ground. But once that adrenaline starts pumping it can be difficult to shut that switch off, especially in someone like him who sounds like he already has a propensity for violence.

As I said before, IMO he took it too far, but initially at least, I think he was in the right.

GREENWICH VILLAGE — A McDonald's cashier is caught on a horrific cell phone video using a metal rod to brutally beat two female customers who'd jumped the counter of his West 3rd Street restaurant early Thursday during a fight over their order.

The cashier, who police said had previously served a decade for manslaughter, beat the women so badly that one suffered a fractured skull and broken arm in the shocking attack, which was captured on a customer's cell phone and then posted to YouTube.

Police have charged the cashier, identified as Rayon McIntosh, 31, with felony assault, along with criminal possession of a weapon. Both women were charged with menacing, trespass and disorderly conduct. McIntosh is being held at the Manhattan Detention Complex on $40,000 bail, according to the Department of Correction website.

The drama began about 12:30 a.m. Thursday when the two customers — Denise Darbeau, 24, of Queens, and her pal, Rachel Edwards, 24, of Brooklyn — entered the popular fast food spot, near Sixth Avenue, and began giving McIntosh a hard time, police sources said.

In the video, Darbeau is clearly heard cursing at McIntosh after the cashier told her he had to scan a $50 bill to make sure it was authentic before he would give them their food.

That's when all hell breaks loose.

An agitated Darbeau is seen slapping McIntosh across the face, prompting him to lunge forward and shove the two women.

Darbeau leaps onto the counter and clears the other side while McIntosh retreats to the other end of the restaurant, according to the video.

Suddenly, McIntosh reappears on the video, brandishing a metal rod, which he slams onto Darbeau's head.

The video, which has audio, is peppered with patrons screaming and wailing in horror and the chilling sound of the metal rod repeatedly whipping through the air and hitting Darbeau and Edwards.

"Stop it! Stop! Stop! Oh my God!” one woman is heard screaming. “Someone call police!”

Fellow workers can be seen on the video unsuccessfully trying to restrain McIntosh. Sources say McIntosh ordered his assailants to stay down, and belted them each time they tried to get up. The continued beating is partially hidden from the camera by the counter.

The two women were taken to the hospital. Darbeau suffered a fractured skull and broken arm which required surgery, according to court documents. She is in stable condition. Edwards suffered a deep cut.

McIntosh served more than a decade in prison after being convicted of shooting and killing Oshan Litchmore, 17, a classmate at Bronx's Evander Childs High School in 2000, when he was only 19 years old. The two teens were outside Macy’s at the Galleria Mall in Westchester when they got into an argument. The fatal bullet passed through Litchmore and hit an 8-year-old passerby in the leg.

McIntosh, who presently lives in the Bronx, was sentenced to 10 to 12 1/2 years in prison. He was paroled last March and has been working in the Village McDonald's since then, according to police sources.

McIntosh is due back in court Oct. 18.

"I don't know him as that type of person," his step-mother told DNAinfo.

The owner of the McDonald's franchise, Carmen Paulino, said that McIntosh "no longer works for my organization."

“I am extremely disturbed by the events captured on tape and am concerned for those injured. The actions of this individual are unacceptable and not characteristic of my employees. This individual no longer works for my organization," she said.

"Operating safe, welcoming restaurants is my top priority. I am fully cooperating with authorities in the investigation.”

And in a statement, McDonald's said that: “the violence in this video is alarming and reprehensible.

"We strive to ensure that our McDonald’s restaurants are safe and welcoming for our customers," the company added. "Our franchisee is fully cooperating with authorities in the investigation.”

The sense of entitlement in the empoverished community is growing at a rabid pace, and our social programs do nothing but feed (sic) it. Throw in the reparation attitude, and it does seem that the black community is the worst. I guess that those Mcuggets are one of the few joys that they get to experience without having to put in any work.

Don't take that as being racist, I am speaking to the attitudes and actions, not the skin color. I'd feel the same about two fat witches bitches conducting themselves in this manner.

I assisted at an assault call at a local fast food burger place. A guy provoked an employee and they started to fight. Employee was fired on the spot.

[Stunter Bob]

I love how they turned it around on the employee like he was supposed to just let the guy crawl over the counter and beat his ass. Fuck that noise. Stupid motherfuckers got what they asked for!

Thank you come again.

[ThreeFingerPete]

I don't put myself in a position to need to be on the defense generally, so it's honestly never come to that point.

Even as a bouncer there was never a need to escalate to violence fortunately, though in that situation I was most certainly considering all worst-case scenarios. Even when pulling drinks and shots at midnite (Frisco law) I got a few irate insults, but I suppose the clientelle was classy enough even when drunk, not to take it to that level. I'll admit that during my stint at Sherlocks I got plain lucky not to encounter any violent drunks though.

You didn't bounce where I did.

That I can understand if it was verbal provocation that turned physical. In this instance two bitches climbed the counter and deliberately went after him. Fair game for a skull fracture IMO.

Oh, youre going to lose your job, no doubt. Charges are a different story.

[talisman]

I'm okay with losing my job at McDonalds if I have to bean two dumb twats upside the head with a metal rod to defend myself. Reminds me of the guy that got fired from Long John Silvers a few years ago for taking action during a robbery where he was convinced that he was going to die if he didn't do anything. The media angle on this story is reprehensible and sickening.

[347Mike]

It's usually the guilty that are so quick to get defensive. Who the fuck pays with a $50 at Mc Donalds anyway? Banks and ATM's almost always give out $20's, and anyone dealing with $50's is likely gonna have a credit or debit card.

Kudos for the cashier calling them out, but fighting obscenities from two women with a "metal object" is plain stupid, and the guy should be charged and sentenced for it. Keep it classy Mickey D's.

You see that is exactly what they do. They go to an establishment that is not likely to verify if it is real or fake. They purchase something small get their change which is real money and stiff the joint with the fake bill.


I agree with Craig, yeah he took it to far but seriously? She slapped him, then jumped the counter to chase him down? This could have gone a million different ways, she could have pulled a gun etc. If the guy swung back it would have just turned out into a brawl.

This video brings back memories of when I was in school though. That video is a prime example of what I had to deal with on a daily basis in Florida. I fucking hate the whole Northern (especially New York) attitude these people have.

[Pooter]

Mess with the bull you get the horns.

Exactly.
