Women Accused Of Cutting At McDonald's Run Over
Woman Accused Pair Of Cutting In Line

POSTED: 12:05 pm EDT August 15, 2006

ATHENS, Ga. --

Police in Athens-Clarke County, Ga., said a disgruntled McDonald's customer ran into two other customers with her car after a dispute over who was next in line to order breakfast.

Police said 34-year-old Melinda Ann Thomas and 51-year-old Linda Ann Thomas were standing in a crowded line about 8:30 a.m. Saturday as they waited to order breakfast. A cashier opened a new line and they stepped to the front of it -- a move that angered at least one customer waiting for her chance to order. Witnesses said she started yelling and threatened to kill the women.

Witnesses told police the woman left the restaurant before the Thomases and stayed in the parking lot, sitting in her dark blue Jeep Cherokee.

As the Thomases made their way to their car, witnesses said the woman pulled out of her parking space, backed up and then sped toward the ladies -- striking them both with the passenger side of the Jeep. The report said neither woman was injured severely.

"The driver of the Jeep was making a conscious effort to hit the victims," Athens-Clarke police Lt. Mike McKeel told The Athens Banner-Herald.

Police have a suspect in the case.
Police had earlier said they were looking for a white female suspect in her mid-20s.
The suspect faces charges of aggravated assault and making terroristic threats, the paper reported.

How hard up do you have to be for a micky D's 'salty burger' to get this irrational?
Gheesh! :yoiks:

[porphyrian]

1. Some of the "food" additives have addictive qualities...

I've seen people do worse for nicotine, not that this isn't bad.

[Breeze54]

7. I hear you!

I had a (woman?) girl in a humongous SUV try to hit me with her tank
because I asked her to move the SUV as I couldn't see around her tank
and almost got hit by another car when I was exiting a store!
She had parked in the no parking zone, right at the entrance, of course! :grr:
Her SUV was taller than me (the hood was taller than me!)
and I was trying to cross over to where my car was parked.
She actually chased me across the lot, yelling and swearing at me,
to my car and then put on her high beams and raced her engine, as she tried
to block my exit from the lot! Good grief! What a maniac!!
It was dark & snowing too, so I couldn't see her plate number or I would've
reported her! People are just nutz sometimes!! Especially assholes in SUV's!!

[3dman]

13. Maybe you should

get an SUV too.

:7

[Breeze54]

24. Now there's a dangerous thought!

:evilgrin:
I'd need a step ladder to climb up in to it! ;)
I have a tiny little car and it's great on gas.
I think I'll keep it, for now!

[Ghost in the Machine]

31. and still, some people wonder why others, like me, carry

a knife and a gun where ever we go. They aren't to make you feel big and bad, or to be threating to anyone... some of us actually do own them for personal protection. If someone came after me like that, I woulda got out and stabbed their tires. But then again, I'm 6'3, 270 lbs, long haired, tattooed and just look crazy to begin with. Then if things really got out of hand.... well, you know...

[Breeze54]

39. I felt like doing something, I'll tell you!

I don't have any of the items you mentioned and I'm a little over 5' 3".
I probably could've kicked her butt, but she also had a friend with her.
I was alone and outnumbered. I was so pissed! I was shaking with anger.
Probably a good thing I didn't have any weapons with me at the time! ;)
To bad I didn't have my oldest son with me though!
He's about your size! Except more in the 175 lb. range.
He would have wreaked havoc on her mental stability!
:evilgrin:

[Nay]

45. No kiddin'. I carry OC spray for the same reason. There are

an unholy number of irrational weirdos out there.

[porphyrian]

94. Your appearance is the most effective weapon of the three.

Not to get all kung-fu philosophy about it, but it's the one that stops fights without the use of the other two and without anyone getting seriously hurt. When that fails, however, it's nice to have a backup.

[Maine-ah]

61. self delete. too snarkey even for me.

[Breeze54]

79. Awe c'mon...tell it!

Were you the driver? :rofl: J/K !!! lol

No, I didn't yell or swear at her first. I was actually nice about it, at first,
until I almost got my head ripped off by another automobile, passing by.
I actually was nice, :crazy: , considering the sleet/ice/snow storm we were in!
No, there was no other way to get behind or around her tank, to cross over. (snowbanks)
Sorry but the micky D story reminded me, of this not so long ago, experience.
I actually had forgotten all about it until I read about this event today.
It just came out thru my fingertips. Shit happens. I guess I needed to vent.
Do I hate suv's? Yes.
Do I think all the owners of suv's are moron's? Yes, on a certain level.
Are they all assholes? No. I try not to use 'absolutes'.
Should I have kicked her ass, if I could have? Absolutely! ;)

But, now you have me in suspense and I'm wondering why you're afraid to speak.
;)

That's all... I woke up to early, I guess.

Going to have :donut: except without the donut.

Peace baby! ;)

[MindPilot]

15. That's for damn sure!!! A guy put me in the hospital one night

when he walked up to me in the parking lot and asked for a cigarette. I told him--very politely--"sorry, I don't smoke." Before I knew what hit me he'd broken a cheek bone and crushed my trachea.

[porphyrian]

29. Ow! I guess you do know what I'm talking about. - n/t

[donsu]

91. yes, I was on a long sailing trip when a smoker ran out of cigs, he tore

open tea bags and smoked that.

amazing.

[derby378]

2. Super-size THIS!!

How many times do they eat at McD's a week? I mean, we all do it once in a while, but really...!

[BrightKnight]

78. Studies have linked poor nutrition to aggressive behavior.

Study Indicates Nutritional Deficiencies Lead to Aggression & Violence in Children:

"The study looked at children between the ages of eight and 17 years, and found some rather shocking statistics about their behaviors. Children who suffered certain nutritional deficiencies demonstrated a shocking 41% increase in aggression at age eight. At age 17, they demonstrated a 51% increase in violent and antisocial behaviors. And the only difference is their diet. It's all about the foods they were eating and the nutrients they were missing."

http://www.organicconsumers.org/school/aggression040405.cfm

Nutrition Key to Aggressive Behavior:

"“Poor nutrition, characterized by zinc, iron, vitamin B and protein deficiencies, leads to low IQ, which leads to later antisocial behavior,” he said. “These are all nutrients linked to brain development.”

[sakabatou]

3. Beleive me,

I've seen two kinda like this at Taco Bell.

[Kutjara]

4. Don't nobody get between me and my McMuffin.

What's more interesting is how the paper managed to work the word 'terrorist' into even this story. Seems every ordinary criminal is a terrorist these days.

[halobeam]

9. Really... wtf.. with the wording on this specific charge...

"terroristic threat". This world is going insane. I refuse to go with it.

[hobbit709]

17. A friend of mine

was charged with "making terroristic threats" at a city council meeting when he told the mayor "I'll see you in court"
It took the jury 5 minutes to say "Not Guilty"

[sgxnk]

18. the term "terroristic threats"

has been around for a long time

before you kneejerk and assume it is a post 9/11 reaction, the Hawaii criminal code (HRS) has a criminal charge for threats that calls it "terroristic threats"

iow, you are assuming this is a new thing

it's not

TT charges have been around for decades

it's just the language in the penal code of some states in regards to what other states would call harassment, making a threat, or even assault, depending on the penal code

[halobeam]

21. thanks for the info...

guess we'll just see how popular this term becomes, over the "alternative" language they could have used.

[durrrty libby]

28. terrorist threat is bizarre. but couldn't she be charged with

attempted murder?

People need to step back and assess their life once in a while

Time for a massage or a chill pill


:freak: :scared:

[sgxnk]

32. she could

if there was sufficient evidence of intent

apparently, there wasn't. or she would be charged with that

[MindPilot]

42. Aren't there particular laws for deliberately hitting someone with your car?

vehicular assault? Isn't a motor vehicle considered a deadly weapon? As in "assault with"...? Or attempted vehicular homicide?

Seems I've heard those terms before.

[YOY]

5. Since when did simple aggravated assault

need 'terroristic threats' attached to it?

[Virginia Dare]

10. You've touched on a very interesting issue...

there have been all sorts of "anti-terror" laws enacted since 9/11. What the average joe-schmo doesn't realize is that prosecutors will take the path of least resistance. If they don't have as heavy a burden of proof for this type of charge, then that is where they will go.

[Breeze54]

11. That's why I highlighted it.

:wtf: Only in Georgia? :shrug:

[YOY]

19. According to Webster

Ter"ror*ist, n. One who governs by terrorism or intimidation; specifically, an agent or partisan of the revolutionary tribunal during the Reign of Terror in France. Burke. <-- 2. One who commits terrorism{2}. -->

Ter"ror*ism (?), n. The act of terrorizing, or state of being terrorized; a mode of government by terror or intimidation. Jefferson. <-- 2. The practise of coercing governments to accede to political demands by committing violence on civilian targets; any similar use of violence to achieve goals. -->


Well, the person who hit those women was an angry nut but certainly does not fit those definition.

Or in the case of a video game I played recently. My feelings on the misuse of this word was said by a charactor who really wasn't a terrorist at all (moreover a world dominating meglomaniac): 'Terrorist? Isn't that a popular word these days?'

[never_get_over_it]

12. I thought the same thing when I read it

I guess being an angry idiot makes you a terrorist....

[sgxnk]

20. wrong wrong wrong

terroristic threats is NOT a new post 9/11 criminal charge.

these types of criminal charges are just a euphemism for "threats" "harassment" etc. that have been in penal codes for DECADES

such as the Hawaii Revised Statutes (penal code for Hawaii)

look it up

hth

it is not a post 911 reaction and it is not due to the terrorist hysteria.\

it is the common language in penal code

first: research. then: form opinion

[halobeam]

25. I'm a half a century old, well read.. guess just not on

"common penal code". Not spending my time researching if it's common, when I haven't seen it in my fifty years of reading. Seems, us uneducated, unresearched folks gots lotza lernin' tu do b'for we speeee, utha wize we get beliddled.

Hey lets just say you win the "betterer researcherer" contest in this thread...

by the way, why are you such a snob?

[sgxnk]

27. because

it disturbs me (and it is oh so common) when people make baseless assumptions, *when* the things about which they are drawing assumptions about, are SO easily researched and part of the public record

i firmly believe in the concept - research FIRST. then, form opinion

a simple google search for "terroristic threats" would

show this:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=terroristic+threats

i may have a little more background in this, in that i have arrested many people for this type of charge, so i guess i have an advantage on this topic

i am sorry for the snarky tone. it just drives me nuts when people make totally baseless assumptions

my bad for my tone

[halobeam]

33. understand on the baseless assumption point ....

but I don't think most ppl here are as lazy as they are trying to become more informed. It's more than appreciated when people (like yourself) who do have more knowledge/experience take the time to give out accurate information.

Thanks for the notice on the snarkiness... and no prob. I'm not exempt from it at times myself, maybe that's why I noticed it so easily? :eyes:

[sgxnk]

40. cheers nt

[Catherine Vincent]

47. Good lord!

You joined last month and you already have over a thousand posts!

[sgxnk]

85. so do i get a cookie?

the crispy/chewy kind. not the electronic kind

[never_get_over_it]

41. Very snarky

it may or maynot be common law before 9/11 but in my experience I never heard of making terrorist threats for simple assault cases before 9/11 - and not a big enough freaking deal for me to spend time researching - my post made no claim as to the law - I just said that I wondered about the making terrorist threats as one of the charges when I read it too - and your answer was basically - WRONG WRONG WRONG do some research you idiot - my thought when I read your post - TAKE A FREAKING CHILL - Jesus this place can be so nasty at times....

[blonndee]

56. The snark is SOP for that one. n/t

[AbbyR]

51. I pick up the police reports every week

for the newspaper. No research needed - it's right on the report when some idiot threatens someone. I see it a lot in domestic abuse and third degree battery cases.

[Clark2008]

77. I did that for eight of my 12 years as a reporter.

I loved the cop shop.

But I also did more than just the police reports.

How do you like it? I miss it, tremendously, but, as a mother, I don't miss the hours or the low-grade pay.

:hi:

[AbbyR]

89. I do just about everything

I work for a medium-sized, award-winning weekly in a small town in Arkansas. They call me the news and features editor, but I do just about everything except sports and advertising.

[Pastiche423]

55. You're a cop?

[sgxnk]

86. yes nt

[keepCAblue]

26. "simple aggravated assault"?

me thinks that is an oxymoron.

There is "simple assault", then "assault", then the most serious of all assaults which is "aggravated assault".

No such thing as "simple aggravated assault".

I'm quite certain the "terrorist threat" refers to the assailant's prior verbal death threat which she made to the two victims while still inside the restaurant.

[YOY]

30. And how the hell was it 'Terroristic'?

And 'simple' was defining just how it was pretty much a open and shut case of 'aggravated assault' (or possibly 'vehicular assault' if that exists in the state in question.)

Making death threats is illegal, but by the definition of 'terrorism' it most certainly fails.

Here's what my home state calls a 'Terroristic Threat'

(snip)
"making a terroristic threat" (R.C. 2909.23), which prohibits a person from threatening to commit or threatening to cause to be committed a specified offense (see below) when the threat is made with a specified terroristic purpose and when it results in a reasonable expectation or fear of the imminent commission of the offense
(snip)

There was no 'terroristic purpose' involved...no political motivation just a death threat.

[keepCAblue]

34. Perhaps it harkens back to the 70s...

...when there were a number of shootings/mass murders committed in or near McDonalds restaurants. To stand inside a crowded restaurant and yell death threats to other patrons probably qualifies as "terroristic," considering the history of such domestic terror acts committed in public places. Just an educated guess...

[YOY]

37. Could be, apparently according to some research I've been doing

it varies from state to state and there really is no rock solid definition of the offense...aparently the law wiggles a little in more than a few states on those kind of definition.

Frankly 'Death Threat' is a criminal offense in and of itself.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_threat

[keepCAblue]

57. It's a matter of degree...

It's most likely the law enforcement agency of jurisdiction added "terroristic" to the the death threat charge, as to do so would carry a more serious degree of punishment than the lesser charge of "death threat." In other words, the PD is "throwing the book" at the assailant.

[Crabby Appleton]

68. but the state involved is GA - their legal def of

terroristic threat is:

16-11-37.
(a) A person commits the offense of a terroristic threat when he or she threatens to commit any crime of violence, to release any hazardous substance, as such term is defined in Code Section 12-8-92, or to burn or damage property with the purpose of terrorizing another or of causing the evacuation of a building, place of assembly, or facility of public transportation or otherwise causing serious public inconvenience or in reckless disregard of the risk of causing such terror or inconvenience. No person shall be convicted under this subsection on the uncorroborated testimony of the party to whom the threat is communicated.


http://www.legis.state.ga.us/cgi-bin/gl_codes_detail.pl?code=16-11-37

[YOY]

71. Damn that's a pretty broad range

he or she threatens to commit any crime of violence, ...with the purpose of terrorizing another...

Shit, that includes spousal abuse, mugging, or road rage depending on how strick it is held to.

[newyawker99]

46. Hi keepCAblue!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[keepCAblue]

58. thanks, newyawker99! Glad to have "arrived!" n/t

[AbbyR]

49. Terroristic Threatening is a charge

that was around long before 9/11 = if someone says "I'm going to kick your ass" or some such, that's what it's called, at least in my little town.

[YOY]

72. Indeed so I am finding out

But I have to admit it really is a broad definition of a crime in most of the states I'm looking at.

[Richard Steele]

74. "Terroristic Threats" has actually been a legal term for a very long time.

When the woman was screaming that she was going to kill them,
that was a "terroristic threat".
I think the phrase just gets mentioned more often these days
because of the other kind of 'terrorism'.

What I wanna know is why she was only charged with 'aggravated assault'.
Seems like a very clear case of 'attempted murder' to me.
She threatened to MURDER them, and then she ATTEMPTED to do it.

[Breeze54]

80. I agree with you.

She spelled out her plan and then attempted to carry it to fruition!
Pretty clear to me!

[Virginia Dare]

6. The new poster child for anger management....n/t

[im10ashus]

8. No matter how you slice it...

McD's is just BAD for your health.

[Initech]

14. See that repukes? This is what cut and run really is!

[sgxnk]

16. clearly

clearly we need to ban cars

[MadHound]

22. Geez, what is this country coming to?

Not just the anger management case behind the wheel, that's bizarre, but not uncommong. No, I'm talking about the charge of "making a terroristic threat".:wtf: Really now, is that really a crime, or is it simply more of an impendgement on free speech. I've been threatened in such a manner more times than I can count, and have said the same in anger myself. Do I know have to worry about getting arrested?

This neo fascism is just getting stranger and stranger:crazy:

[Tsiyu]

70. This is a Georgia Code definition

And has been on the books a long time.

It catches the eye now, but Georgia considers making death threats to be terrorizing someone. The writer in the OP piece was merely stating a legal term not a journalistic one.

Easy to be confused or wonder about that term, but it has been part of Georgia Code for a while... long before 911.

:hi:

[depakid]

23. Just wait 'til there are gas lines

You ain't seen nothin yet.

Americans have a profound sense of entitlement to things- things they waste.

Kinda like McDonalds.

35. you might want to avoid today's "Special Platter"

it's call the Jeep Cherokee Platter ... if you order it, you probably should just eat the fries ...

[enlightenment]

36. I wonder if she was copying that Hummer commercial --

the one that seems to be suggesting that women should use their vehicles to get revenge on folks who cut in queue.

[Radical Activist]

38. The women got what was coming to them!

I'm kidding of course, but what the hell is a "terroristic" threat? That bothers me.

[ComerPerro]

43. That headline is beyond fucked up

"Woman accused pair of cutting in line"


I'm sorry, bitch, but you just ran down people with your car because you couldn't get your fast food right away.

You don't get to accuse ANYBODY of ANYTHING.

[etherealtruth]

65. Couldn't agree with you more! n/t

[ThomWV]

44. What The Fuck Did They Mean By "Terroristic threats"?

Doesn't that language jump out at anyone?

[jsamuel]

48. don't know, why not go for "attempted murder"

[Rex]

50. Keeping it real!

What a pathetic loser! Keep it real in prison! :dunce:

[AbbyR]

52. People are just too worried about being "disrespected"

or maybe everyone is just in too big a hurry.

I was in the grocery line this weekend and the woman in front of me put her stuff on a the side of the counter and walked away. I thought she'd decided she didn't want the items, and I moved on up in line. She came back a few minutes later with another armload and started screaming at me for moving up in line. I told her to get right in, I was in no hurry, and who cared who went first.

She muttered all the way out of the store but at least I didn't get attacked with an SUV.

[sueh]

53. Driver must have seen the latest 'get your girl up' Hummer commercial.

[donsu]

92. aren't those Hummer commercials something else? the one with the

man in a grocery line with veg. items and no meat, looking at the man behind him with tons of meat. so he goes out and buys a Hummer so he won't look unmanly.

what crapola

[WI_DEM]

54. I hate it when cashiers open a new register and people who just

arrived in line get to go and order or pay for their items rather than actually taking the real "next person in line."

but I've never run them over for it.

[ComerPerro]

69. run the motherfuckers down, bitches

[PassingFair]

59. The scene reminds me of those new Hummer ads...

Women and "vegetarians" getting "power" by
pulling into the car dealership and buying
hummers after being intimidated.

We get what we pay for in this country.

It is getting worse daily with the "values"
of the "saved" and the frustrated wannabes.

83. How bout a Canyonero?

60. From the Unannotated Georgia Code,

the legal description of "Terroristic Threat" - threatens to commit any crime of violence. Many other jurisdictions have similar ordinances, although not always by that name.

Woman Arrested in Ga. McDonald's Case

The Associated Press
Tuesday, August 15, 2006; 11:14 PM

ATHENS, Ga. --

Police arrested a University of Georgia student Tuesday for allegedly running into
two other McDonald's customers with her car after a dispute over who was next in line.

Ruth Driscoll-Dunn, 24, was taken into custody at her home and charged with two counts
of aggravated assault, Athens-Clarke County Police Detective Jeff Clark said.

snip-->

"Basically, she admitted to hitting the victim. However,
she said there were other circumstances relating to the collision,"
the detective said.
He said the suspect claimed the others "provoked the incident."

Driscoll-Dunn will be jailed pending a bond hearing Wednesday morning, Clark said.

The restaurant incident attracted more attention than usual because it came within
three months of a fatal attack at a McDonald's in Covington, about 30 miles southwest
of Athens. On May 23, a man ran over two women and their three children,
killing a 2-year-old. A suspect is facing murder and aggravated assault charges
in the attack, for which authorities have said they had no motive.

I fucking hate cheaters. More than just about anything else on the planet.

90. I had someone go off on me in a similar situation at the cable office

I went in to pay my bill. They had two lines, one for paying bills only and one for all other service. I accidentally got in the all other line, noticed my mistake and got in the other, faster-moving line. A woman who was ahead of me in the first line saw that, and started screaming at me for taking cuts ahead of her. I paid my bill and got the hell out of there.
