  • What will it take to clean up WCBs? It is unrealistic to think disabled workers whose lives they destroy for greed will simply continue to sit tight and take it. WCBs push disabled workers to lose their minds and all respect for authority and if anyone takes revenge in desperation they can FN well eat it!!

  • This is so FN sick....but typical of WCB's 'risk management' aiders and abetters. Hiding behind their verbal righteous BS. Fact is the deal with WCBs is that the worker is supposed to receive impartial and fair compensation but they have become so corrupt aided and abetted and protected by government they act like the lowest form of thieving life. Glad this guy has a great and wise lawyer...and can afford one which many of us can't!

  • the management deserve to get their faces shot off

  • FUCK YOU RONALD MCDONALD...A HERO GETS SCREWED BY MCDONALDS;

    I'LL NEVER EAT AT YOUR PLACE AGAIN, YOU SUCK;AND WORKERS COMP SUCKS;

    ANYTHING TO DENY BENEFITS, IF HE DIDN'T WORK THEIR HE WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN SHOT;

    WOULD HE?

  • the employee was injured on the job. he got shot on the jobsite and evrything happened on the jobsite so their for workmans comp claim should he approved

  • Mcdonalds is a piece of shit.

  • Check out an alternative return to work program called rtw placerite on your search engine.

  • This is why I never get involved. If I was there and I saw someone beating up a woman, I'd be like: "Would you like to super size your meal?"

  • I can tell you as a employee of McDonalds they didn't prepare Employees for what happen like Haskett incident.

  • Liberty Mutual has no responsibility towards their employees or customers thats their policy.

  • I would never start a fight with a man I was with. If the average man is four inches taller than me, 60 pounds heavier, and obviously much stronger, it would be crazy for me to do that.

    He just hit her.

    I hope that if I am being beaten in public by a man, which I hope I never will be, that someone will help me. I couldn't fight someone twice my size.

  • I'm done with mcdoalds! The always mess my order up anyways... For every 10 people I tell this story to and not to eat there. They will tell ten more and so on... This employee is a HERO. Who knows.. This guy might have shot her and other people in there. For him to step in... Shows a true man! And one hell of an employee to protect his customers.

    Mcdonalds has insurance. Use it!!

  • damm I ate McDonalds today....well now I know that wendys and Taco Hell will be my Fast food of choice now!! this pisses me off...McDonalds should pay out of pocket! and not give stupid excuses about a training video- Mcdonalds!!!! Do the right thing- you already pay your employees crap money-- he will just sue later- I hope he gets 20 times what you should have paid him!!!

  • fayejiii: Your logic is greatly flawed!

    If you were working in a public BANK and if the

    Bank was robbed what would be your logic then?

    The Point is he acted NOT on his own safety, but the safety of the

    CUSTOMER(S) and that IS what all public services must do.

    WORKPLACE SAFETY IS EVERYONES RESPONSIBILITY, that includes him

    protecting the CUSTOMER(S).

    Note: He was getting paid, he was on the property, he was hurt,

    we have all paid; now it is time for his compensation.

  • 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...

  • Workers comp is a "no fault" insurance program. It is the responsibility of any company to provide wage loss for any injury on the job no matter who was at fault. In cases like this where a third party was responsible for causing the injury the employee must get his compensation and the insurance company must sue the third party to reclaim costs.

  • 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.

  • That is so sad. I will never go to another Mc Donalds again. Im gonna try and post this on another site that im on.

  • Please do not buy in that Mc Donal store.

  • Just wanted to bump up this video so the 2009 NewsVine Ninja MallCop Award WINNER would be able to find it here on You Tube

  • Is there a fund you can send money to for Nigel???? If so please post the address.

  • 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.

  • That dude picked the wrong McDonalds to slap a Nappi Ho!

    Nigel deserves 2009 Man of the Year! Great job buddy!

  • 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 asshole who hit her. When she bleeds, McDonalds could give her napkins with their logo to wipe off the blood. Great product placement!

  • fucking buearucracy! man risked his life to defend someone at his work and the fucking greed bastards dont even see that

  • WTF McDonald's?

  • 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.

  • they already said they'd pay for the time he's had off :P just not the medical bills

  • STOP eating at McDonald´s NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Agree,

    Macdonald is evil :(

    Poor guy...

  • 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

    watch?v=jMO-yjx90xg

  • usa should stop selling guns then they would just of had a proper fight the end

  • He is a hero. Mickey Deez sucks. What he did was social responsibility.

  • That is grounds to boycott Mickey Deez if I have ever heard one. It is rare that anyone does the right thing anymore and this is the very reason why. We all think if I get involved what will the consequences be instead of thinking my fellow man/woman needs help.

  • this is sick! :

    /watch?v=MmX0VQXmrZM

  • I´m not eatting in Mc Donalds ever again and I recomend no one else do it either. Unless this young man is appropriately rewarded!

  • Does it suck? Yeah. McDonald's should step it up and help the guy out.

    But legally, McDonald's is right. The guy technically was NOT doing something a part of his job description that got him hurt.

    But I still think McDonald's should help him out.

  • As if I needed another reason not to eat at that shithole.

  • supersherlock- "You are SURE the staff handbook tells people what to do" ??? If there is the possibility of this case being appealed before the supreme court I would confidently say there ISN'T anything written in the employee manual regarding this kind of incident.

    It's obvious most of you here know absolutely nothing about how the Work.Comp.system works. The insurance companies do everything they can to deny a case, regardless of how legitimate it is. They are crooks- plain and simple.

  • I'm sure the bitch deserved it.

  • This man IS a hero, BUT he endangered the lives of everyone there by being a hero.

    Yes, I know it's stupid to let a woman get beat, BUT he brought it upon himself, as he endangered his own life, and the life of everyone else there.

  • Explain how he endangered the lives of EVERYONE at that fast food place?

  • You couldn't have known the guy had a weapon... and was not a ticking bomb... Your mental retardation makes me, as a human being, ashamed of living in the same world as you.

    Yeah maybe its okay, because the women is black. But still, if your mother got attacked, I doubt yout fat ass wont move and you'll have to rely on others help.

  • In fact, the restaurant, and all the people in it, should fuckin sue the dipshit who decided to be a hero, and piss off the gang banger.

  • Imagine if this gang banger, got an AK47 out and killed 15 people in that restaurant.All because of Hero boy.Why the fuck, didn't he call the cops, who are trained to deal with this shit.He aint no Hero, hes a dickhead.

  • The bigger this story gets, the quicker Mcdonalds will overturn their decision. Its corporate bullshit.

  • Moreover MacDonald's food is dangerous

  • wow mcdonalds...makin hella money and they don want to pay this man his heroism...such a diss...

  • If the corporate ass holes would pay the man's medical bills (even for on going care) AND slap him a few bucks for his heroism, they would come out on top in public opinion and still probably not even scratch what it takes to make one frakking commercial on TV.

    McDonalds is FRAKKIN' STUPID!

  • It don't pay to play Captain Save-a-Hoe.

  • Smart guy? More like cowardguy.

    Thank God for men like Nigel Haskett. You could learn something from him.

  • I learned that working at Mcdonalds and fighting bad guys is not a good combination especially if you don't have no health insurance.

  • The exact reason why socialized healthcare works. This shit wouldn't have happened.

  • You forgot gun control

  • bullshit, ill bet $10 that gun wasnt bought legally

  • I really doesn't matter whether or not the employee did the right thing in coming to the aid of the girl who was hit by her companion. Legally, the facts are these: The employee was injured while on the job. Period. He was injured while coming to the aid of a customer. Period. Only someone not familiar with the corruption of the Workers Compensation system would argue in favor of McDonalds, or argue whether or not not the employee did the right thing.

    PEOPLE! He was injured ON THE JOB!

  • but I'm sure the staff handbooks tell people what to do in case of something like this happening, and I'm SURE it days something about not being a hero.

  • You know McDonald's will get too much flak from the public to go through with this. They'll end up settling.

  • hello world

  • BURGER KING HERE I COME

  • You made me lol ;D

  • He should be compensated. I'll eat at burger king untill it happens.

  • WATCH THE VIDEO. The man slaps the woman. She then stands up and appears to be TALKING ON HER PHONE. This does not warrant being tackled and beaten.

    What he did was brave but foolish. This was NOT in the best interests of McDonalds. He went too far and SHOULD have called the cops.

    I'm all for corporations taking care of their employees, and it would be completely different if the woman was actually being severely hurt.

    If it were a man being slapped he wouldnt have reacted like that.

  • she was talking on the phone the whole time...when your in an argument/engagement there is only one reason to be on the phone...your online with someone who can help you.

    besides its not like the two just suddenly blew up they were arguing for a while, hence why no on was next to them.

    no if it was a man who got slapped, he should have turned around, walked out, and never talked to that bitch again.

    regardless of gender there is no reason to stick around for a beating.

  • If he had died, McDonalds would have just ground him up and made a burger out of him. McDonalds is just that fucked up and gross.

  • First of I don't think part of his job is to break up a fights or to physically remove people from the premise. I think the proper procedure might have been to call police. Even though his actions were just I don't think he made a wise decision by fighting with the dude. He could have easily lost his life. I think the best thing would have been to call police.

  • sure, and mcdonalds is not a place to beat up people. But since the man was beating a woman up, asking the guy if he wants "fries with tha?t" would have had the same effect as calling the police. He did what any reasonable person should do. Business wise, Mcdonalds would be smart to at least cover his cost and maybe spin that their employees care about what happens in their restaurants and to their clients.

  • because this man wanted to be a hero he almost lost his life or caused someone else to lose their life. Bullets fly and a lot of times they hit innocent bystanders. So for trying to save a woman from getting slap he put everybody else in danger. In the world of capitalism its not wise to do what he did. He went off his emotion instead of thinking rationally.

  • There are way too many pansies in america like you. Do you know how many people have died waiting for the police while people just stood by and watched? How would you like to be in such a situation, getting your ass kicked in a room full of people? Would you feel better if somebody yelled about calling the cops when you're getting beat to death?

    "We need not fear evil men, but have fear of a good man who does nothing."

  • Its not about being a bitch or not. Its about common sense. This young man acted on emotion instead of using his brain.

  • 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 ass backwards you're safer around strippers and drunks then at a McDonalds.

  • Thats why you always hear about bouncers getting shot.

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

  • LoL why do you assume I won't help people? you don't know me.

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

  • ok but what does it matter to you what I do?

  • Wow. I know McDonald's is low, but this is just stupid. Any company with half a brain would have paid the medical bills, just knowing what horrible, horrible PR they would get if they didn't.

  • I'm no longer supporting McD! We will take our business elsewhere! This man is a hero, and he should get the money that is rightfully owed to him!

  • Add me to the list of ex-McDonald consumers. Even Ray Croc would have thought McDonald's corporate greed is a crock! Mickie D should pay this "Hero's" medical bills.

  • We need to stand up as a community and boycot McDonalds. Whats right is right and whats wrong is wrong and this is fucking wrong. This guy should be treated as a hero. This is BS. Fron this point on I will NEVER eat McDonalds again. Why put money in their pocket for they to be this sorry.

  • for all we know that dude must of hit that broad cause she on the phone with another guy. if thats suppose to be his girlfriend, she shouldnt be on the phone with another dude..... and here come this super negro to her rescue, as if he even knew what was going on..

  • I don't care if she was having phone sex in front of him... the thug had no right to hit her... you girlfriend and wife aren't your property ... if they wronged you... leave them.... Also why does it matter what race he is... what's with the "super negro" comment

  • No more micky d's for me until they pay this man.

  • That is bullshit. It is his job to throw people out if they are being rough. If it were a bunch of vandals, and he just stood there and called the cops, he would probably have been fired for not doing more. Because in that situation they would have considered it within the scope of his employment, this should be as well. I hope he lawyers up fast.

  • THhs sad video tells you all you'll even need to know about black males (animals) and corporations (vampires)

  • Sadly I agree with you about the corporations ( run mostly by white men) but I quess I have to remind you that it was a black man that stood up to the guy smaking his girl around.

  • why are you playing the race card?

  • "I have to remind you that it was a black man that stood up to the guy smaking his girl around. "

    thank you for pointing that out, I failed to check that before posting - my comment was out of line, and my sincere apoligies to this kid who did the right thing

  • To all the pinheads saying that Haskett should not have gotten involved:

    Imagine the woman in the video was your sister, wife, daughter, or just a friend.

    Would you still want everyone to mind their own business or wait for the cops?

  • if this goes in front of a jury he'll get whatever he wants. nobodys gonna feel sorry for mcdonalds interests.

  • I am no longer going to McDonald's.

  • it's a shame that the guy got shot doing a good deed, but he should have called the police, and continued selling hamburgers!!

  • fuck you Mcdonalds, not only do you make shit food but when a man saves a woman, gets shot 5 times, and all you can care about is some god dam monny.........i spit at that shit!!!

  • We should celebrate true chivalry. McDonalds just another greed driven corporation.

  • how are people taking his side? hes wrong and isnt gonna get payed. hell when your robed your told to give them the money and NOT be a hero. this guy ran out and got in a fight with some random guy and got shot for it

  • Im sure in the McDonald's employee handbook it told him to at accordingly. All for 5.50 an hour what a shame. Sucks for dood

  • I f**kin hate McDonald's but their legal team is actually in the right on this one.

    It's not their fault if an employee can't control himself and gets hurt doing something he's not supposed to be doing.

    It would be hypocritical and would send the wrong message if they payed for his medical bills.

    It could even lead to a future employee doing something like this again and getting killed.

    The guy should've called the cops, plain & simple.

    .

  • Does anyone have the videoID or URL of the original footage which McDonalds took offline?

  • Man, I don't get this. I know buisnesses only want to maximize their profits, but at the expense of human life? How do they expect him to earn 300K by himself? It shouldn't be like that....*sigh*

  • how do u expect the owner of that McDonald to find 300k?

    that's like u owning a lemonade stand and someone who works for ur lemonade stand gets shot multiple times because he saw a women get punched in the house across the street

    then he comes too you asking for 300,000$ dollars because he did not get medical insurance

  • McDee blew an excellent opportunity to show good, corporate, public relations.

    There's law, then there's moral ethics.

    Mcdonalds has no moral ethics, it's always the money, money, money.

    How much, Mcdonalds, is enough money?

    I love the food at McDees and Wendys and BurgerKing and A&W.

    Remember, Ronald, we do have choices.

  • Thank you!

  • This didn't happen across the street, it happened right on the other side of the counter IN the Mcdonalds. I guess next time they should let the girl get a bloody face while the police are on the way. Stupid comment.

  • Do you not realize how corporations work? That McDonalds' owner doesn't have to pay 300k, McDs corporate entities do.

  • That's messed up.

  • Poor guy. McDonalds are pure scum if this lad is not compensated. His actions were unbelievably heroic. He defended the woman and he even defended McDonalds reputation in his actions and this is the way this corporate lizard treats him. Shame on this company!

  • If the woman who was being beaten by that thug was seriously hurt or even killed McDonalds would have been sued for their employees failing to come to her aid. So what is a McDonald's employee to do if they see a child being kidnapped by some child-molester? Just sit there and dial 911? Well, this guy was in the military so we should consider him a soldier first and a McDonald's employee second.

  • I don't eat there anyways

  • These fucks will never get another one of my dollars. Mikey D's, this is pretty fucking low. Get hosed you tight wads.

  • I agree. Boycott McDonalds.

  • This guy is a hero and I cant believe that he is only suing for $300,000.00 when he should sue McDonalds for millions. So, I assume that the skum that shot him(after punching a lady) was sent to jail for attempted murder.

  • check that site: sourceradix com

  • Their food not only kills, but now so does a visit to the garbage food dispensaries.

    This is what it takes to stop going to these substandard food places!

    Fuck all: McDonalds, Wendys, Taco Hell, etc.

  • It happened on their property, PERIOD !!! Mickeys are definately responsible for his bills and compensation.

    Fuck McDonalds!

  • it should be process in the court. but damn, fucking mcdonalds is making millions of dollars! the guy got shot in the visibility of the job site, they should act about this.

  • Boycott McDonalds!!!!!

  • Oh come on now. He did not have to go over and fight the guy. Hitting a girl is wrong in all means but its not the responsibility of a McDonalds employee to do what the police should handle.

    CALL THE COPS! They had it on video and it was assult.

  • What if the guy kept beating her to death? What if your wife/mother/sister was being assaulted? Would you want folks at McDonalds to stand by and call the cops?

    Put yourself in his shoes before spewing bullshit.

  • Here is the name of the insurance company that Misty works for: Ramsey KRUG Farrell & Lensing 8315 Cantrell Road # 300, Little Rock, AR 72227. (501) 664-7705

  • I can't believe that McDonalds won't pay... For only $300,000, crazy

  • Fuck MC Donalds Liberal ass holes.

  • McDonals = Liberal?

    You gotta be f**kin kidding me.

    Seek help my friend.

  • You sound like one of those pansies that would watch somebody get murdered while you waited for the police. One of the sad sack immoral americans that surround me.

    The only mistake this guy made was not knocking that fat shit out. Unlike you I've been a good sameritan, I've taken it upon myself to help those less able then myself.

    You however sound like a spineless coward that should refrain from talking.

  • The beautiful & marvelous truth is that Jesus Christ died at your place, taking upon Himself what your deserve - the Wrath of God. God hates workers of iniquity(psalm5:5). All who contradict the nature of God will go to hell. Period. End of argument. The message of Jesus in Mark 1:15 is simple: REPENT AND BELIEVE THE GOSPEL. Be not conformed to this world but be ye changed by the renewing of your mind by reading the Bible[KJV] for a change (Romans12:1-2)

  • You are SADLY misinformed

  • 300,000?!!! Holy shit! I am so glad that I have free health care in Canada. My dad was in the hospital for a month after a severe accident.. and it was free!

  • Nothing's FREE. That's your high tax dollars at work.

  • in this case at least the patient lived.

    WHen are we going to get MONEY BACK guarantee for treatments that don't work.

    If we have a private hospitals they should abide by same rules as Best Buy does.

    If you're not happy with your purchase bring it back in 30 days.

    One should read how the Medical Cartel was established.

    There is a law in illinois that insurance has to cover autism treatments, however if you have private employer that law doesn't apply, its all screwed up

  • Free health care in Canada? I don't think so. Why do you think we pay taxes of almost 50% on our wages?? THAT'S what pays for the so called free health care.

    Back to topic....SHAME on Mickey Ds! A&W for now on for me.

  • 50% my ass. Maybe from some rich guy, but not at all from the average folk. The hospital bill would have costs me hundreds of thousands, and I would hate to be in a position where I can't afford to save my dad's life. Sure our taxes are higher than the States, but at least it assures that our country can take care of it's own citizens.

    Free market my ass! Only the ambitiously greedy loves such a philosophy.

  • 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.

  • woah! I sooo didnt see that one coming, totally caught me by surprise. the ending was crazy, but great. loved every minute of it.

  • This is why America is fucked. Mcdonalds should have promoted him as a local hero. Now when the kids apply for a job they know the corporation doesn't care about them. When their friends eat there it's the same. I guess all this talk about violence agaisn't womem doesn't matter at Mcdonalds. I'd hire the guy in a instant. Honour before profits. Mcdonalds looks like a thoughtless uncaring corporation.

    What if the guy stabbed her to death because the employee was told to stay out of it?

  • McDonalds is not the one denying anything, it's the insurance company. I believe Arkansas workmans compensation is run by Workmans Compensation Corporation which is owned and run by the state. Just another con job by the media to vilify corporations and business, while the real villian is the state and federal government. Americans just keep drinking the Koolaid and every day we move a little closer to a Totalitarian state

  • God is not only love(Jn3:16) like many believe but He is Holy(Rev3:8) as well, which means He hates sin because it contradicts his character. God hates workers of iniquity(Ps5:5) and everyone will be judged according to what they did on earth (Rev20:11-15). Romans 3:10 says that NO ONE IS GOOD. All lovers of sin, haters of God and unrepentant sinners will go to the LAKE OF FIRE. You should BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST, you should REPENT and you should SERVE HIM AS LORD; lest you will go to HELL

  • ^You're an idiot. In some places, he would be held liable for not intervening. The criminal would have likely kept hitting the woman, so he prevented her from being hurt further; or, since the assailant obviously uses guns to solve his problems, he prevented a possible murder.

  • I don't want to belabor the issue, but let's not lose focus on the point.

    All of the other nonsense is counter-productive

  • a lot of good reasons to boycott McDonalds? there's a lot of good reasons for u to cut your hair take a shower and buy a close toed pair of shoes

  • Mc Faggots makes billions of dollars every year. By the fat fuckers who wouldn't think twice to help somebody. Fuck Mc d and fuck you biatch

  • Hm, havent been to MacDonalds in half a decade, or a Walmart. so fuckem lol

  • Fuck you slave!

  • Fuck McDonalds. McDonalds sucks, so no big surprise here. There are so many good reasons to boycott McDonalds and this story here is just one more.

  • It looks as if the woman in this video was on the phone

  • unbelieavable! when a young man does go out and get a job instead of joining a gang!

  • im luvin it

  • They don't pay McDonald's employees to stop crime. AND there's no telling what that bitch did. She may have deserved it.

  • Thanks51, if that were your mom being slapped around, how would you feel then? I mean, she "deserves" it for not teaching you that violence against women is wrong, right?

  • What I'd like to see is criminals be held financially responsible for their crimes. If a criminal commits a crime, seize their assets to pay for the trial, to pay for their incarceration, and to pay for their victims (or to pay McDonalds back for the worker's comp they shell out). Not every criminal will have the money to pay for it, but it has to help somewhat. What's more, the crooked investors shouldn't be able to get out of jail in a few years and enjoy that money they scammed.

  • u rule

  • I always heard that McDonald's did it ALL for you.

  • blog it, facebook it, myspace it, get all your friends to click over to youtube and watch the video - the more clicks and views the more pressure that will be put on McDonalds

  • blog it, facebook it, myspace it, get all your friends to click over to youtube and watch the video - the more clicks and views the more pressure that will be put on McDonalds

  • Me or my Family will never spend another penny at McDonalds again.

    I also carry a gun for things like this BUT I don't think Nigel would have fared any better even if he was armed because he never expected the shooter to pull a gun.

    I wish I could see the entire ordeal, to see what happened outside of the building but either way McDonalds will never see a penny of my money again

  • WTF 300,000$ dollars !!!!!!!

    You guys have been fucked by corporations. Your health care.

  • The right thing to do in this case would have been to call the police! Had the man pulled his gun in the store, that would have been different. What was the imminent threat? The woman's life was not in danger.

    Is it unfair that the man is stuck with the $300k bill? Yes. But is it somehow the fault of the environment McDonald's created? No! Nigel cannot win this case on legal grounds, but I suspect McDonald's Corp. will pay for his bills on PR grounds - especially after this video.

  • Comment removed

  • mcdonald's corporation 6306233000

    ask for customer relations (they forward the call to an office in Peoria IL, press 5 when u get to the phone tree. let the CEO know that your family will no longer be going to mcdonald's because of their handling of Nigel Haskett. They will tell you that the claim is still pending which is a lie. The claim was DENIED. Call them on their lies.

  • I will NEVER eat at Macca's again!

  • Wait - Nigel made a snap decision to protect someone he felt needed his assistance, he had nothing to gain from this. We have to accept that in this society, it is still the right thing to do to help people. Calling names distracts us from the principal point of the video - -Nigel was WORKING in the best interest of his employer, on the clock, and sustained grievous injuries & bills...that the law requires McDonald's to pay- - but McD's have forsaken Nigel & ignored the law to increase profit !

  • And people wonder why I don't advocate men "protecting" women they don't know & in some cases, many they do know. THIS is what will happen, especially when you have these women running around with THUGS & getting their asses beat in public. DO NOT LIFT A FINGER 2 HELP HER, unless it's 2 dial 911. In cases such as this one, if you're an employee tell the parties involved that you have called the police and they are enroute. Then, watch as the THUG and the assaulted THUGETTE run out of the place.

  • I have 4 children, 2 men and 2 women, my boys will protect women and I am proud of them. And if one of my girls are in trouble I would hope someone would come to there defense. What kind of human are you?

  • They're called police.

  • Oh please, when was the last time the police were on site to prevent a crime!!!! We as humans must stand up for ourselves and not count on our government employees This young man need to be commended for his actions and I wish there were more MEN like him, I would consider dating again. As it is there are more like you then like my Father A Hole

  • So because (you think) police can't enforce the law, it's somehow now McDonald's responsibilty? Bullshit. What you're arguing has nothing to do with workman's comp! This is not about violence against women being right or wrong, so stop trying to force the issue!

    FYI, I never eat at McDonald's for other moral reasons, and have never, nor will ever hit a woman. Fact is, this is about whether or not McDonald's is responsible for what happened. You are wrong, period.

  • Police themselves say that they are not obligated to come to your aid. Their main function is to provide a deterring presence and investigate after the fact, ultimately it's up to us to protect ourselves.

    This just shows how mcdonalds is a horrible corperation that should be boycotted, sure they don't "have" to tecnically but considering the negative PR his medical bills are less then pennies to an international corperation.

  • McDonald's should be boycotted because they didn't recognize the potential for the media to distort an issue (creating this bad PR)? Poor reasoning my friend.

    As sableghost said, this is really about the criminal who shot Nigel being held liable, not McDonald's. And correct me if I'm wrong, but Nigel could sue this guy for damages, no?

    There are enough reasons to boycott McDonald's, we don't need to buy into this story.

  • He can, but there's no telling if he'll get the money. In the meanwhile, he's on the hook for $300,000 bill. Even if McDonalds is not legally responsible for this worker's comp bill, they could at least have organized a fundraiser or something to help out this brave kid. I've heard of other companies, smaller mom and pop stores, doing things like this for employees affected by a crime. Instead, McDonalds hid like cowards behind their lawyers. I intend to boycott McDonalds myself over this.

  • They should be boycotted because they apparently care nothing for their patrons or employees.

    That's a nice bit of doublethink saying there are enough reasons to boycott so we should ignore this. So either you're an idiot or you think I am.

  • Five: Police dont STOP crimes they only enforce the law, citizens STOP crime by being on the seen when a crime is being commented. This citizen was protecting his employers interest, I would hire this kind of person sooner then one who would do nothing. He did the right thing for the company, and the victim. He was on the job when he was presented with the situation. YOU ARE WRONG

  • Comment removed

  • Mag, I'm sorry, I missed the part where he stopped a crime. Perhaps that is because it had already happened? Nigel acted within seconds of the first assault. There was nothing to substantiate any immediate threat to the woman or the anyone else from that point on. Had he pulled his gun prior to, that would have been very different.

    Just because you are on the job when an incident occurs does not mean you are automatically entitled to WC.

  • Bullies like him know they can get away with shit because of cowards like you.

    If some crazy shit came to your work and started, lets say, RAPING a customer or co worker what would you do? call the cops while she screams in terror or would you not be a pansie and cave that fuckers skull in?

    you sound like a victem to me, somebody not willing to protect themselves or others.

    Sickening,

  • Five: do you think then that there would have been second?? Gun fights are not in the job description of a teacher however I am sure you would want one to stop a gunman the best way they could if your child was in that school being shot up. Morally you can not win this

  • Soul, you are a sign of the times. I really feel sorry for you.

    Thank God there are people as brave as Nigel Haskett left in society. There is still hope for us all.
