Well, looks like someone actually got arrested for putting soda in their water cup.
What a fucking manlet
>>7598831
He got arrested for hitting the manager with his car.
>>7598841
The Springdale Police Department on Wednesday confirmed that Cody Morris 18, faces one count of felony robbery after the manager of a McDonald's on South Thompson Street accused the teenager of pouring himself a drink without paying.
“The theft became a robbery when the alleged suspect allegedly used force to resist apprehension by the store employees,” explained authorities, who noted that Arkansas law does not prevent from workers from attempting to detain criminal suspects.
>>7598836
I'd bend him over.
>>7598831
>5' 08"
So, he's a midget?
>>7598847
It wouldn't have come to that if he didn't hit the manager with his car.
>>7598831
>paid the bond
Now he can't make up a heartfelt story about being too poor to afford soda.
>Taking soda over water is considered robbery
>Let's waste tax payer dollars housing and feeding this so called "criminal"
>Manager chimps out and gets rekted by the "criminals" car
I really hate this country and the idiots that run it. This situation could have been avoided had the manager not chimp out over some fucking soda.
>>7598831
are you fucking kidding me!?!
>go to burger king
>nig-nog in front of me asks for a cup of water
>watch her poor it out and fill it with soda
The soda machine in that store is completely obscured from the employees' filed of vision. This isn't even a ghetto burger king.
i am really fucking annoyed as how they slap on bullshit felony charges to make people's sentences worse
the guy probably didnt assault anyone
just like all the people they put "resisting arrest" when they never fucking have
the whole justice system is a fucking scam
There's one Taco Bell near my house that always eyeballs me as I go to the drink station after I get my water cup.
Jokes on them, I actually get water.
>>7598983
he a good boy he dindu nuffin
I got a Mc donalds cup in the drive through and it was mostly ice. I wanted to go to another Mc donalds and get a refill but was concerned they would consider it stealing since it was a different location.
>>7598831
Am glad to see that. Faggot whitey deserved it.
>>7598983
It's such a click bait title.
Him stealing soda isn't the big deal, the physical assault and hitting them with his car is
>>7599008
Good call. McDonald's restaurants are franchises. The other location may not be the same owner. I'm not sure on this, but usually refills do not come with drive through orders anyway. The secret to getting what you want is to speak up and ask politely. Either way you should have ordered light/easy ice. I think all this shit about fountain drinks is because they are very profitable to the restaurants.
>>7598847
What a backwards law.
>>7599095
uh yeah it is a big deal
they ran out of the restaurant and tried to detain him over that 1 dollar soda
>>7598998
its not about dindu
like every cop does this, every single time
they slap on like a bunch of bullshit charges in an attempt to make the main charge stick
its always like resisting arrest, assaulting a police officer, and like som eother bullshit when none of these people actually assaulted anyone
like those are serious fucking charges, and the only evidence ever for those charges are he said she said, and that shit like lands people in jail for fucking years
>>7599109
All of it is very profitable. If not by margin, then sheer volume. A cup of soda really shouldn't bother a manager, they're just being assholes about it.
I live in Fayetteville, about five minutes from Springdale.
A bit of background, Springdale is basically little Mexico. Only mexicans who are 90% english illiterate, marshallese, and white trash looking for a cheap place to run their meth labs live in the inner city. On the outskirts you have wealthy trash like the Tysons and the Duggars.
So when I saw this on the news, I was honestly not surprised. This entire area is atrocious now, Fayetteville has evolved into "Shi Tpa Town" ever since we got a Whole Foods.
Min wage employees risked thier lives to prevent the escape of someone who stole like $1 worth of soda, andcsaid thief is being charged with a felony that will ruin his life, prevent him from giving back to society via potential lost employment and tax revenues, and cost society tens of thousands of dollars in legal and incarceration costs?
Murkkka.
I've been arrested for 4 days for that exact thing, (friday on memorial day weekend so no court till tuesday). This was in Madison Wi tho.
>>7598898
>muh socialism
>I am entitled to soda
>victimless crime
>>7599701
>victimless
Yeah McDonald's lost 10 cents of income and the state pays $30k.year plus cost to prosecute him.
Makes sense.
>>7598831
>hello yes, is this the American police? Yes I'd like to report an American White male who is eating in McDonald's and being polite to the POC staff, and even worse I think he has a job. Something must be done.
>>7598831
>5' 08"
lol every bit counts at that point
poor lil guy
Thank god. Hate fucks like this.
How did the employees get it in their heads that it was a good idea to try and detain someone for stealing a drink when they may very well have a gun (America)?
Is their minimum wage worth risking lives over a soda that the owner probably doesn't even care about?
>>7599838
Maybe they thought the McDick's CEO would knight them as Honorary McBurger Warriors and they would get $15/hr (no benefits though).
>>7598831
>5' 08"
When will they learn?
>>7599864
Not the employee's problem. They should hire security guards if they want people to tackle thieves.
>>7599864
Why would a minimum wage flunky give a fuck about that?
>>7599895
Probably not the shortage itself, but usually not having something means the flunky will have to deal with assholes giving them flak about it.
>>7599921
>Probably not the shortage itself, but usually not having something means the flunky will have to deal with assholes giving them flak about it.
This, and OCD management and staff who thinks any job they hold they are expected to bust their ass off for it.
>>7599139
>they ran out of the restaurant and tried to detain him over that 1 dollar soda
don't steal soda if you don't want to be detained
>>7599895
shut the fuck up junkie go shiver in a fucking corner while you fix your next hit
rite into yur dick vein bud.
>>7599963
he was probably getting turned out long before he went down this road
>>7599706
So people should just be allowed to steal shit, right? Is that okay with you?
>>7600452
Because taking soda is such a travasty right? Its a niggardly thing to do, but that doesn't make it robbery.
I've never seen or been to a McDs where the soda dispensers are accessible to the customers.
>>7600463
isnt taking something thats not yours actually a robbery? stealing a few cents of carbonated syrup is like... super pretty theft
>>7598983
spotted the dumbass who resisted arrest
>>7600463
>>7600472
Use of force, actual or threatened technically makes a theft a robbery.
The kid was stupid, the employees were stupid, the escalation over a soda is pretty ridiculous. The cops appeared to have only done what was necessary given the information they had. One only hopes the judge that sees this trial sees a felony conviction of an 18 year old soft drink thief is ridiculous. Hopefully the prosecutor offers a plea bargain for petty theft + assault and this dumbass can do community service by picking up fast food trash off the road or something. Who fuckin knows. Fuck Arkansas and fuck McDonald's.
>Arkansas

that thing looks like predator
>Felony Robbery for stealing less than a dollar worth of product
>Not some form of assault for hitting him with the car
What the fuck?
>Look up the legal definition of robbery
>Theft with force while the victim is present
Eh, I guess that makes sense.
