- theblooms, on 10/12/2007, -10/+361Yeah, I watched this on 20/20 last night. That is some sick *****. Know what pisses me off the most? That bitch of a manager got NO JAIL TIME. NONE.
The girls is suing McDonald's for 200 Million. If I was on the jury, I would give her 400. - IvanB, on 10/12/2007, -17/+299Wow.
Well, finally a case against McDonald's that actually makes sense. - knightblade2oo4, on 10/12/2007, -12/+151Yeah, lets blame it on the internet!
- nytechy, on 10/12/2007, -3/+140wow just wow. Who the ***** in there right mind leaves a 18 year old girl with a 43 year old man in a room for 3 Hours. That stupid bitch manager should be in Jail too.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+125they almost gave 2.7 million to a stupid firefighter here in los angeles because he has been forced to eat dog food in a hazing ritual, until they found out he had done the same thing to all the other rookies that had come in after him. but this girl, she ought to rip mcdonalds a new *****. and that manager ought to be in jail no doubt. this is disgusting
- tidu, on 10/12/2007, -8/+110Some people deserve to be publicly shot. This guy has volunteered himself.
- fitzfan, on 10/12/2007, -4/+104The guy making the calls got off not guilty? WTF?! who was the jury?
- queefer, on 10/12/2007, -23/+122just shows how dumb people who work at fast food restraunts are.
- IvanB, on 10/12/2007, -1/+87Direct link to the surveillance camera video:
http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=2694049 - cameron074, on 10/12/2007, -11/+90i couldn't even finish watching that. the manager and her boyfriend should both be locked up. that's one of the sickest most disgusting things I've ever seen. ***** MCDONALDS.
- shadus, on 10/12/2007, -11/+90The girl deserves 200m easily from mcdonalds. There is no reason a *sane* individual would submit any other to this kinda crap... none. If you do you're a fool and you know you're being a fool but you're getting off on the power trip. All involved should have spent at least 30 years in prison, and I don't mean tv, games, and reading prison, i mean ***** you in the ass prison. The sane people refused to have any part of it across the board, that is proof enough that any normal person would see what was wrong with the situation.
- stvnly, on 10/12/2007, -1/+78By the way, if you watched the video instead of reading the article, they don't mention that the exterminater sodomized her.
- Aeiri, on 10/12/2007, -12/+81"Well, finally a case against McDonald's that actually makes sense."
Not really... I doubt it's McDonald's policy to strip search and ask people to do jumping jacks.
The case should be against the caller, and the dumb ass who actually did what the caller said.
That maintenance man should be given a medal or something. - dclowd9901, on 10/12/2007, -2/+66This was unreal to watch. This literally makes me sick, and to think that manager didn't help that girl out when she was begging.
But what really got me is how the exterminator obviously took advantage of the situation. He's the one who should fry here. Don't get me wrong: the caller should, indeed, get maximum punishment allowed for impersonating an officer, but the abuse could've stopped with the manager and that exterminator, and they are ***** ridiculous. I'm sickened that such idiotic people exist. - dagonweb, on 10/12/2007, -1/+62What strikes me rather remarkable is that nobody questions the massive authority the police seem to have over normal US citizens. The parents of the girl probably impressed upon her to bolt, scream and run in cases of rape, but for some reason this common sense is suspended completely when faced with someone who claims to be a police offer.
Are the people of the US intimidated into a stupor by uniforms? - jordansampson, on 10/12/2007, -7/+64the company put those people in charge. its chain of liability.
- therernospoons, on 10/12/2007, -2/+56reminds me of the Milgram experiments:
"The Milgram experiment was a series of famous scientific studies of social psychology, intended to measure the willingness of a participant to obey an authority who instructs the participant to do something that may conflict with the participant's personal conscience."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milgram_experiment - reiggin, on 10/12/2007, -1/+54RTFA. It's a follow-up to the original story. The court case against the perv ended a few days ago.
- joeydoo, on 10/12/2007, -4/+55Errrrr what the flying ***** went on with those people?
This ISN'T a hoax, it's not a "weird occurrence". THE GIRL WAS SEXUALLY ASSAULTED.
The cop said "there were things that could have been done, I don't understand why they didn't do them" What the *****!! It's not what they didn't do. It's what they DID, everyone who followed commands from the caller is equally as guilty, if not MORE, they should be in jail.
Who gives a ***** if they are all retarded hick *****. That's not an excuse. - altosaxon, on 10/12/2007, -3/+51@ queefer
I don't think that this was done out of stupidity... I mean if I were a grown man who was being told to spank a young teen girl, something that should land me in jail, it would be my duty as an adult to not do it...
What a perv!
The whole digg community should shun this man and his family - shadus, on 10/12/2007, -6/+52Because cops don't generally ask people to strip other people naked and search them? That is flat out logical. The manager is the one who let this be done, the manager is the one who had her boyfriend come in and torture her, the manager is responsible for the safety of their employees. The manager IS who is in charge of that store for all intent and purposes for that time... she should be sued, nix should be sued, mcdonalds should be sued... they can never hope to give that girl enough to make up for what she went through. ever.
This looks even more absurd when you consider the police station was less than 5m down the road and the girl requested they call the police and the manager refused. - Neoanarchist, on 10/12/2007, -2/+47@fitzfan:
I believe they brought in OJ's jury for nostalgic purposes. - lolwtfhaha, on 10/12/2007, -1/+40Maybe because the trial just ended and the dood got off scott-free? Sorta a follow-up story. Definitely news...
- ThinkBox, on 10/12/2007, -6/+44I'm not blaming it on anything but these people. They are twisted and they are wrong, I'm just willing to bet that they furthered their sick fantasies where-ever they could.
- pegisys, on 10/12/2007, -12/+49yeah I agree with Aeiri, I don't think McDonald's should be held responsible they really didn't have anything to do with it
every one but the janitor should be charged with something or at least do some time for being stupid. well, especially that guy that was doing the whooping, he just seems like a perv to me, I can't see how any adult could fall for that, he probably enjoyed it, and him telling her not to tell his wife makes me think that even more
Do people have that much trust in the police that they would do anything they say, even over the phone - Ajajadude, on 10/12/2007, -8/+42Hmm, I can see how everyone else thinks this is McDonald's fault.
Wait, no I don't. - capiCrimm, on 10/12/2007, -10/+45You have heard of the Milgram Experiments, right?
- silenceHR, on 10/12/2007, -3/+35"In her suit against the $19billion McDonald's company, Ogborn contends it failed to warn Mount Washington employees about the hoaxes even though the company and its franchises were already defending lawsuits in Georgia, Ohio,Utah and elsewhere in Kentucky.
"This suit is about failure to warn, failure to train, failure to supervise," said Louisville lawyer StevenYater, who with William C. Boone Jr., is representing Ogborn. "
So... McDonald's knew about this and kept their mouth shut? Sue them? OFFCOURSE.
They had lawsuits already going over this and failed to warn their employees. Typical corporate behaviour.
I hope this girl rips them one big hole in balance book. - sinembarg0, on 10/12/2007, -3/+35This makes me so pissed off. I literally want to beat the store manager, her fiance, and the caller so close to death that they want to die, then let them get better and do it again. And why the ***** did the Jason guy not do anything? He was the first person who was supposed to watch the girl, and he refused to do what the caller said because it was outrageous, and he left without stopping it, without getting the girl out of there.
- krached, on 10/12/2007, -6/+34Because companies are responsible, and thus liable, for the actions of their employees.
And it does not beg the question, it raises the question. - raabco, on 10/12/2007, -2/+30If anyone has a problem understanding how this could happen, read up on the Stanley Milgram Experiment.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milgram_experiment
Also, try and find the black and white video. It's truly chilling what most people are willing to do when they're under the influance of someone who poses as an authority figure. - IMADV8, on 10/12/2007, -13/+40Hey now, I hate McDonalds as much as the next guy, but this wasn't exactly their fault. It was the assistant manager's fault, her fiance's fault, and the caller's fault. Those are the people who should be paying out the ass for this, not McDonalds.
- IdiotOnLn, on 10/12/2007, -9/+36But what did McDonalds do? If you read the article it said that the McDonalds manual said no legitimate police officer would ask for a search. The people in charge are to blame not the company.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+27Wow. The managers need to get into trouble. Thats disgusting.
- spkaine, on 10/12/2007, -6/+32Wait a minute: Think about this logically. McDonalds is being sued for not effectively communicating to their stores that "If some guy calls and tells you to get naked, don't do it."
C'mon! Think about this... there are some things that are just common sense! THINK ABOUT IT: That's like McDonalds being liable for not telling their employees to "DO NOT STICK YOUR ARM IN THE FRENCH FRY GREASE if some random person calls and tells you to."
I hate what happened to this girl, and I have 2 daughters - so trust me - the exterminator would be dead if she were mine - but it's him and the manager that did this to her - NOT McDonalds. - DeadLikeMe, on 10/12/2007, -1/+27This is why one of the rules of life everyone needs to learn is "question authority".
- tuxidomasx, on 10/12/2007, -2/+26i bet if the manager was a dude instead of a chick, they woulda got jail time.
- tangerine, on 10/12/2007, -3/+28The premise was she stole a purse.
Now she is naked and getting spanked?
[Through instruction via phone]
It never occurred to anyone to HANG UP?
Oy Vey! - Protonz, on 10/12/2007, -3/+26You are lucky enough to have been raised to question authority.
But I'll tell you what, next time at the airport when the TSA wants to grope your wife's breasts, object, because they don't have the authority to do that.... or do they? - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -10/+33after watching that, and having seen Fast Food Nation last week, im not eating at mcdonalds ever again
- Jozer99, on 10/12/2007, -1/+23There was an experiment done a few years after the trails of ex-Nazi officers all used the plea "I was following orders". Heres how it worked:
A random person was put in a room with a machine and a microphone. They were told that the machine was attached to a client in the next room. The client in the other room was hooked to the machine, which would deliver electric shocks if the person pressed a button. The person was then told to ask this client questions, and to deliver shocks of increasing intensity to the client if they got the answer wrong. They were informed that the electric shock machine could deliver lethal shocks. What they did not know was that in fact the machine was non-functional, and the client in the next room was an actor, who would purposely answer questions wrong and scream in pain when "shocks" were delievered. 90% of the people in the test agreed to, in effect, torture someone that they didn't know for hours, simply because they were told to by the people running the test. 70% of those tested willingly "killed" the client by delivering a lethal shock when they were told to. It was a chilling confirmation of the "just following orders" idea.
Another test of the "power corrupts" idea was done during the 1970s. At a university, professors recruited a number of graduate student volunteers to simulate a prison. The volunteers were randomly separated into prisoners and guards. The volunteers were then placed in a real (empty) prison, and observed. Almost immediately, the guards began beating and humiliating the prisoners. Within a few days, prisoners were tortured and beat severely, to the point where the study was called off and several prisoners were taken to the hospital for physical and mental trauma. You have to remember that all of these prisoners and guards were graduate psychology students at a major university. - weeeeeeee, on 10/12/2007, -2/+22"In the end, there apparently wasn't enough evidence to convince the jury. After two hours of deliberations, Stewart was found not guilty on all charges."
this kinda ***** i wish there were actual boondock saints - zweben, on 10/12/2007, -9/+27As much as I dislike the people who did it, (and they should all be thrown in jail), I find it astonishingly stupid that the girl actually listened to them and did every ridiculous thing they asked her to, with no proof and no skepticism.
I understand she was probably in a position where she was an easy target, but anyone who will strip themselves down because they were told to over the phone is not all there in the head. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+20as hard as it can be, its best to accept these things and move on. Trying to pretend it never happened will eat you up inside.
Id doubt the moral fibre of any person that would give the girl a hard time about the inccident. - flamingmb, on 10/12/2007, -38/+54"On April 9, 2004......."
how the ***** is this news? - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+17She was young and raised to do as your told. Its no surprise that she followed the orders if she has been conditioned todo so.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -5/+21for 200mil you could sodomize me with a burger spatula
- mateo60, on 10/12/2007, -3/+19Just because you're a naive teenage girl, doesn't mean you deserve to be violated, sodomized, and molested. Dumbass.
- mooninite, on 10/12/2007, -2/+17Someone get this "David Stewart" guy's phone number and make it front-page digg news. We'll see how he likes getting prank called. This is just disgusting. Love the jury too... not guilty? ^ it was OJ's jury.
