The disturbing video below shows a women being beaten by two other women as McDonald employees do virtually nothing to help her. While a manager makes a minimal effort to stop the fight, he then walks away and does not offer help to the woman on the ground. The girls then return and resume the beating. Other employees are shown doing nothing but watching the scene. The attack occurred in Baltimore, Maryland. The victim has now been identified as Chrissy Lee Polis, 22, who has been identified as a transgender woman. A manager at the Rosedale McDonald’s said she was “not allowed to speak to a reporter.”
According to reports, a 14-year-old female has been charged as a juvenile while charges are pending against an 18-year-old female.
The question is the liability of McDonald’s for this type of passivity. Companies often tell employees not to get involved in fights but simply call police. However, here the McDonald’s employees are not even showing any interest in helping the woman when the fight stopped. Liability, however, will remain a difficult course if the manager called the police –which is viewed as the minimally required response. However, this is not a case of any affirmative duty to rescue — where the American rule is that no such duty exists absent responsibility for the original danger or injury. This woman is a business invitee and the company bears responsibility for the safe conditions for customers. McDonald’s must also anticipate criminal acts. However, no law requires a manager to physically intervene. What is most disturbing is the absence of anyone rendering aid to this woman.
The fact is that this manager may be doing exactly what McDonald’s wants employees to do: nothing. It will be interesting to see if McDonald’s instructs managers not to render aid in in such circumstances.
The manager encourages the attackers to flee before the police arrive. He can certainly defend this advice as simply a way to remove the dangerous individuals from the scene. However, it would have been more convincing if it was combined with a modicum of concern for the victim.
McDonald’s seems a common site for violence, including additional stories this week. One has to wonder how long the employee, identified as Vernon Hackett, on social network accounts, posted the video clip to his YouTube page earlier who took and posted the video has as an employee with the Golden Arches.
There is no word on what is being done to find the culprits. There have also been suggestions that the attack was racially motivated. The incident involved two young black women repeatedly attacking an older white woman.
McDonald’s released the following statement:
“We are shocked by the video from a Baltimore franchised restaurant showing an assault. This incident is unacceptable, disturbing and troubling. McDonald’s strives to be a safe, welcoming environment for everyone who visits. Nothing is more important to us than the safety of customers and employees in our restaurants. We are working with the franchisee and the local authorities to investigate this matter.”
Notably, the company made no mention of the failure to help the patron or what its policy or training says about addressing such incidents.

if this is so wide spread post 6 incidents of black on white crime of this nature. You probably cant and are just full of shit like all the other Neo-Nazis.
People, you all see a girl being attacked by women. No, no, no, it is a WHITE girl being attacked by BLACK women. Now situation reversed the lead story is…..BLACK girl attacked by WHITE women. In this case? Mcdonalds slow to respond….hahahaha. Some of you will never see that very little is not about race anymore but it isn’t coming from the whites anymore, it is coming from the blacks. Attacks are happening all over this country and don’t give me this garbage that white people are doing it to black people too because that is crap. Based on population percentages the blacks are at war with us but you WHITE people are so conditioned that the subject is off limits, you have given up your God given right to have an opinion and then speak it. It’s sad the way speech suppressed and YOU allow it to be. My goodness this USED to be America and now? We are run by the whiners, and minorities.
It’s all good? Blind, blind, blind…..No talking to you so won’t waste my time. You only see and hear what you want to see and hear, so when you are attacked by the black unruly mob only then will you see that it’s a war out there. You are either going to fight it or run and hide like you are doing now. Until then, all are best to ignore you.
mts:
that is bullshit, I have seen white guys do the same exact thing.
If the situation was reversed, it would have been front page news and the headline news story on every major network.
ERYKAH:
unless the white woman physically attacked them first, there is no rational reason for what they did. And once the white girl was subdued (if she had attacked them), they should have stopped.
“Gingerbaker,
You are making assumptions and do not know what the scenario would have been had it been in the reverse…. But I think this had more to do with the competence of the leadership than the color.”
We are both making assumptions, don’t you think?
Typical black mob mentality is all this is. Anyone that tries to say anything different is a liar.
Hmm it might be McDonald’s policy to not intervene but is it their policy for their employees to laugh, video tape, and encourage the criminals to flee as well? My blood boils over this.
Gingerbaker,
You are making assumptions and do not know what the scenario would have been had it been in the reverse. These people seem clueless and unable to take any reasonable steps to help this girl. Why weren’t the perpetrators forced out the the restaurant? Why wasn’t the woman moved out of harms why? These people just seem clueless. I honestly do not think they would have responded the same way. The manger was inept which does not surprise me. Macdonald’s promotes all kinds to managerial positions who have no clue how to handle serious situations. Would it have been different if the manager were white. Maybe. But I think this had more to do with the competence of the leadership than the color.
and MacDonald,
Your comment about Macdonald assess and broom sticks is distasteful and says more about you than it does about these crazy ass women.
Lastly, and not to be insensitive to the “victim,” we have no idea what lead to this beat down. As my grandmother always say,”it will all come out in the wash.” I sincerely hope that girl is okay.
Amazing. This video is one of the more disgusting things I’ve ever watched. It’s great though that when the woman starts to seizure, the employees tell the attackers to get out before the police come.
Keep on giving McDonald’s your money everyone!
I really hope this poor girl doesn’t have brain damage because of these idiot savages.
“…The manager encourages the attackers to flee before the police arrive. He can certainly defend this advice as simply a way to remove the dangerous individuals from the scene….”
If they are in custody, there is NO possibility they will be back later that day for more Big Macs. Please don’t forget that the manager has a responsibility to protect the profitability of the franchise – that white bitch on the floor won’t be able to eat solid food for weeks.
And yes – I’ll say it – I doubt a white manager in a white neighborhood would have reacted the same way if the attackers were black and the victim white. And vice versa, no doubt. We’re talking about McDonalds, you know.
Your “additional stories’ link is to the same story.
I sure hope Taniqua and Yashandra like soft kisses and broom handles because those big mac asses gonna be up in da big house shoatly.
Oh and BTW, You may want to cancel your jheri curl appointment with Yolanda unless she is in the same cell with you
But if one of the employees had tried to intervene, this is what might have happened to them.
That is disgusting behavior by the attackers and the employees.
Well, well…still one of the few places you can have it your way….
