The details on the following attack are fuzzy.* What you see is two woman mercilessly attacking another in a McDonald’s. But that doesn’t really do the video justice. The two women repeatedly punch and kick the woman in the head while she lies in the fetal position on the ground. They then drag her across the floor by her hair near the door, where they continue the beating. All the while, the employees stand by laughing (although one seems to give a half-hearted vocal attempt to stop the madness, and another eventually tries to step in).
Eventually, it appears the woman is beaten so badly she has a seizure
According to a description from the video site LiveLeak, the person filming the incident coaches the attackers to flee:
The two black females exit, then re-enter the store to continue the beating, until an older white woman attempts to stop them from dragging the white victim outside into the parking lot. note: the black male employees have disappeared from camera view, even though they are plenty well capable of stopping the attack.
At the end, the white victim is beaten until she has a seizure, at which point the camera operator warns the black female attackers to flee, because the police are on the way. Note: he makes sure to repeatedly tell the criminal attackers to flee, instead of keeping them there for the police to apprehend.
I can’t get to the video from where I am right now, and I really don’t want to give Beck’s Blaze any click-through anyway, but I heard about this at lunch, on the radio when I was giving myself my daily blood pressure elevation check by tuning into Limbaugh for 15 minutes.
Any idea what he was going on about with this shit (paraphrased): “You’ll need to wear an ‘I Love Obama’ t-shirt in fast food restaurants now if you don’t want to get beaten to death.”
I have a debate topic. Why do conservatives care about other people’s physical health only when it is threatened by black people? Especially if there is video.
I’d like to be contrarian, but I think I’m going to have to concur with the majority here. Beating someone until they have a seizure is an immoral act.
Implying that white people aren’t safe in restaurants with black people unless they agree with the current President because of a video in which absolutely no evidence of motive is presented is also immoral.
The article quoted by the blaze, which is credited as a description from LiveLeak, asserts that there were people present who could have stopped the fight, but didn’t.
The McD folks may have policies about that (don’t want to be sued), dunno.
But I am not willing to condemn anyone based on what (little) I saw in the video. (I think the store manager, a fella in a blue shirt, WAS involved the whole time.)
But I guess a story is just not a news story unless there is some way to sensationalize it.
Really? You don’t think the girls went too far in their beat down or you don’t think they should be condemned for it? Even not knowing what provoked them, once someone is lying on the floor in a fetal position, continued violence is assault and battery or worse.
No. To clarify, the article states that folks (not the participants) stood around laughing. Male employees (who are presumedly physically stronger than the females involved in the fight) did not attempt to stop the fight, but “dissappeared” instead.
LiveLeak is quoted as “note: the black male employees have disappeared from camera view, even though they are plenty well capable of stopping the attack.” (Why mention the employees are black?)
What I meant was I cannot blame some bystanders for not getting involved, especially as a few were.
I said nothing about the original fight participants.
No, I said it WAS sensationalised with the headline that reads “woman beaten into seizure as employees laugh”. That’s not the impression I got watching the video.
The fella in the blue shirt I assumed to be the McD store manager, and he tried to intervene repeatedly. He just didn’t intervene with flying tackles, which is I guess what LiveLeak wants to see from the bystanders.
