Police have arrested a 55-year-old man after he allegedly pulled a gun on a group of Somali teens at a McDonald’s in Minnesota on Monday, in an incident that has raised concerns about how staff handled the situation.

. . .

Lloyd Edward Johnson of Eden Prairie, Minn. was arrested on a charge of probable cause second-degree assault and held at Hennepin County Jail in Minneapolis on Wednesday, WCCO reported.

He was jailed in connection with an incident that saw him allegedly come into conflict with the teens at a McDonald’s in the city after the group went there following a trip to the library, the Star Tribune reported.

Jihan Abdullahi said she and a friend were trying to pay for a meal using a smartphone app when the man allegedly said, “you were paying with EBT (electronic benefit transfer), that’s why it didn’t work.”

1. Good!

another racist asshole!

[padah513]

2. Provoke an incident, then pull a gun (allegedly).

Hmm. Where have I heard that one before?

[BumRushDaShow]

3. Good they got him.

Now they need to fire/remove that "manager" or whatever the hell she was.

[cstanleytech]

6. Even though she made a bad call I was thinking more in lines of a demotion if shes a manager back

down to something like regular cashier or something with a flag on her file of being ineligible to ever be promoted.

[BumRushDaShow]

7. No. There's a difference between a "bad call"

and her ranting that was full of expletives.

Enough coddling these people.

[Demit]

10. Thanks for posting the video. Yes, she deserves condemnation.

[Demovictory9]

16. as does the other employee who said "when someone pulls a gun, it's for a reason"

the to teens

[Yellowdog88]

4. Sounds like a great idea

I'm going to get myself a concealed carry license. That way, I can freely go to some fast-food joint (packing, of course, because...are you fuckin' crazy?!?!?).

I can then let my rotting brain swirl about those brown kids in line in front of me. The gun is like a built-in Chatty Cathy string that gets pulled automatically. It allows me to spew out some warped dialogue meant to insult and demean those brown people, because dammit, we have a 1st Amendment! And Fox told me that they all have EBT for their daily McDonalds purchases. I'm paying for their meals!

And to top it off, I'M PROTECTED BY AMENDMENT NUMBER 2!! If those brown people react to my right to be an asshole, I will have the right to gun them down in a panic.

Applies to loud music playing too. And birthday parties. And gas station parking. I could go on.

So many uses.

5. Minnesota used to be a friendly liberal state

[oberliner]

12. They are awful RW racists in every state

No matter how liberal and friendly it may be overall.

[rusty quoin]

8. "He has a gun!" "Out of my store now!"

She should be fired.

[Hotler]

9. I hope someone in jail with him...

see this and beats his good.

[Aristus]

11. Blank-eyed, dull-faced, doughy white guy. No surprise there.

They may as well all be wearing signs...

[47of74]

13. No shit.

There ought to be a registry for these clowns.

[paleotn]

14. Seriously. It's like someone ordered a bigot from central casting..

Or they come off an assembly line in Alabama or some damn place.

[CRK7376]

17. more likely

from good old NC!

[Demovictory9]

15. glad he was arrested

[liberalhistorian]

18. I'm glad this entitled asshole

was caught and arrested, but I want consequences for those employees as well. What kind of hateful moronic employees, responsible for the safety of their patrons inside their establishment, would scream and swear at the people being harassed and who had the gun pulled on them, and what kind of fucking IDIOT employee would say shit like "if he pulled a gun, he had to have had a reason". And I'm especially appalled at their attempt to throw the kids outside just after a crazy angry white guy who pulled a damned gun on them had left, thus subjecting them to real danger. Those employees need to be FIRED immediately, and I hope they have trouble finding any other work. You know that if those kids had been white, there's a 99% chance the employee and manager would NOT have reacted in such a way.
