That would be like me getting in a argument with my neighbor, he hits me, I hit him, and get away, he comes after me, I go in my house, come back out, ( after getting away from the situation, and any danger) and shoot him! Would you defend me then????
Interesting point.Again, just my opinion, but I don't think you can say it is defense when he left the area of so called danger, returns with a deadly weapon ( yes, DEADLY weapon!), and proceeds to beat the s**t out of a girl half his size!
I'm not defending the idiots that jumped over the counter, but he could have easily held them off with nothing but his hands or just, when he left the area, stayed in the back area and it would have been over! If they continued to assault him, then of course he can defend himself! I just think he went way overboard with the "weapon"!

I was hoping the cops would bust in and shoot her.
I kept skipping this thread because I didn't know what a slap chasier was!
I think it's French?
I don't think the guy was French, he sure didn't surrender when the gal jumped the counter.
O.k., good point, except he had every chance to get away from the crazies AND not only came back with a weapon, but continued to beat the s**t out of one or both of them! I know, some say she was trying to get back up, but if she did get up, would she have been able to do anything to him to hurt him or would she have just tried to get away from him? Like I said before, I think he could have easily restrained her with nothing but his hands, HE chose to grab the nearest weapon he could, and could have easily killed or permanently disabled her.I think a closer analogy would be your neighbor coming into your house and in that case, yes I would defend your actions.
Interesting point.
How much worse would the beating have been had he used his fists?
Broken jaws, ribs, even worse i imagine.
As stated above, I think he could have restrained her pretty easily. Do we know what injuries she sustained? If I had the choice, I think I would choose to be hit with his fist instead of a steel rod... Ouch!!!
I think the argument can be made that he was giving them a thrashing without trying to actually kill them.
I doubt he was thinking at all!!! Just in a rage, and swinging as hard as he could... Two handed, like a baseball bat! ( which I think would actually hurt less.)
Watch the tape. He only hit them again when they tried to get up.
We really need to quit looking at the losers as victims.
Not saying she is a victim at all! Not by a long shot! Just that it could have, should have gone down differently!
Like has been said, the real victim here is a guy that had a job and was attacked because of a question over a 50 dollar bill.
I also can't see him being called a " victim"! If he was concerned about his job, he surely would have handled it differently.
Which was probably McD's policy in the first place.
These stupid stupid girls usually get their way by breaking the rules of societal decorum to which people don't know how to react.
This time they picked on an antisocial cashier with anger issues who also doesnt follow social norms and got A BIG surprise.
What about the crazy blonde screaming chick?
Did she really think she was helping?
That was just annoying.
Some low IQ emotional wreck screaming at the top of her lungs just adds to the confusion.
Just WOW.
The " crazy blonde screaming chick" was the only one in the place making any effort to stop the beating!..... What would you have done?

He attempted to move away after they hit him. They followed him over the counter, they chose to continue the attack. He grabbed the rod to use if needed and they followed him and forced the issue.
There should be no duty to retreat. If attacked, a person should have every right to defend themselves just like he did. People should also have the right to take their defense to a level higher than their attacker, just like he did. It wasn't a deadly force encounter and he didn't use deadly force to defend himself.
McD's needs to put a **** sandwich on the menu. That's exactly what those two idiots ordered and exactly what was delivered. Put me on his jury, he'll walk, no deliberation needed.
