    honestly, if you …
    honestly, if you look from mcdonald’s point of view, mcd need not to pay him. I know it’s a very sad story, but there’s policy and people are trained that NOT TO BE A HERO all the time even you are being robbed, safety always comes first that’s how mcd train their people. this case doesnt involve injury from workplace which cause from hazards, it cause from his courage, mcd shudnt reli pay him, to be frank. still i feel sorry for the guy…

    How ridiculous. The …
    How ridiculous. The McDonald employee may have averted a shooting of other customers or employees by his courageous action. Where is any common sense. McDonald’s should be giving this guy a bonus. In this day, when bonus are given to people who don’t deserve it, this is one guy WHO DOES.

    Megyn Kelly on Fox news reported this story and Fox posted the Nigel Haskett’s Fund 501-603-3775, a fund set up by Twin Cities Bank in Little Rock, Arkansas. She reported that the judge and his clerk both contributed to the fund.

    ero…Ha, I WISH I was rich, just another working stiff in the GVRD. Our health care system does fine for emergencies, but is sadly lacking when it comes to timely, compassionate care for all those on waiting lists for treatment. How do I know? I am a RN and can see the problems from within. Also remember, each province runs its own health care insurance. What you may get, say in Ontario or Alberta, is NOT what you get in BC.

    I can see the “SNL” skits now:
    “You Deserve a Break Today… but not health care.”

    Or the “McDonalds Domestic Violence Cage Match” between Rhianna and that hole who hit her. When she bleeds, McDonalds could give her napkins with their logo to wipe off the blood. Great product placement!

    I’m basing my judgement on your previous comments, or do you not pay attention to what you say from one post to another?

    Well, agree to disagree then, just make sure to let everybody know they can’t count on you if they need help.

    Depressing! McD’s can certainly afford $300,000 - What’s the matter with them?!? Oh well, with the economy as bad as it is, it won’t be too hard for me to boycott McDonald’s. …Not a huge thing to cut out of my life. This guy deserves his medical bills paid in full along with some compensation for time off! Really. Common sense.

    Thats why you always hear about bouncers getting shot.

    What does common …
    What does common sense say to you? Apparently not very much.

    Makes perfect sense to me to eject a disruptive individual as quickly as possible. Ever been to a bar when a fight breaks out? Do they call the police and let it continue or put a stop to it. How about a strip club?

    Pretty backwards you’re safer around strippers and drunks then at a McDonalds.

    Okay, so to all the abusers out there, if you want to beat your wife/girlfriend, do it in a McDonald’s. No employee will try to stop you now that MickyD has told them Ronald won’t have their back. Same with gang fights–do it at your local MickyD’s!

    If I were that judge, I’d personally make sure that Haskett had a better job waiting for him somewhere–I’m sure he could easily get him a job as a bailiff at the court there: guy obviously has a lot of guts and strong ethics
