Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

I guess that McDonald's is gonna see a sharp decline in customer volume now which is already probably low since it was like 8 bucks for a sausage, egg, and cheese McMuffin meal the last time I went a few months ago.
You vastly overestimate how closely the average person is following this story, or is willing to change their behavior for events like this. Especially in a place like Altoona, Pennsylvania.
I was wondering if the person who turned him in has been following the overwhelming sense of support for what he did.
Basically, did they think about that before doing anything, or did they not give it a second thought because they didn’t realize there could be a backlash?
If it was him , I could just chill
Easy to say now.
I would, but that vs a nation of people who would be threatening me & my family if my name got out is the thought experiment that piqued my curiosity.
This may be why he cut off his family.
They are referring to the McDonald’s employee.
In the last couple months, McDonald's has:
The average consumer doesn't give a fuuuuuuuuuuuccck.
Even in Europe everyone I know is following this story.
But are they going to boycott one of McDonald's in Altoona, PA over this?
I'll bet they'll almost all boycott that McDonald's location, I'll bet that location doesn't see a single one of those Europeans after this
You also vastly underestimate how much burgerlanders love their McDonald’s.
I don't cott a boy lightly, but I will, for a good cause.
Uhhhh... phrasing?
Right?
