Very glad to see, thanks for updating us.

However, the article is still written like the two women were victims.

He claims self-defense, but I doubt if any self defense is permitted in New York, if it injures the criminal.

Maybe if more criminals were injured or killed in the commission of their crimes in New York there would be less of this.

Its says 9mm shell casings, so was some one sniper shooting an elementary school with a handgun? Maybe an uzi.

You would think by now New Yorkers would be unhappy enough to change their liberal ways, but they just keep taking it.

It made the radio talk shows this morning in Houston. Some one asked what if the location was a convenience store or what if it was two men on a woman?

The jury will only hear about his convictions during punishment phase assuming he is found guilty.

My understanding he was attacked because the customer gave a fifty dollar bill and he is required to by company policy to check it with the marker pen, they objected to that.

McDonald's may have to defend him, or risk suit from him, for not defending him.

What if this had been a convenience store and the customer jumped over the counter. Would we have been so critical if the clerk then shot and killed the person? Or are we back to the Oklahoma Pharmacy and the extra shots while on the ground?

So this is really the Oklahoma Pharmacist without the guns involved?

And your business is not your castle, so you have to give the intruder/ lawbreaker/ attacker sanctuary after they go down?

And If you have a bad temper, you need to avoid situations with intruder/lawbreaker/attackers at your business.

I almost want to start a legal defense fund for the guy. You know McDonald's is not going to defend him. He just came to work one day, and ended up in jail after a customer attacked him. He's going to be thrown to the wolves.

The "victims" are going to sue McDonald's and collect millions. Doubtful they will receive a day in jail.

Jumping over the counter at McDonald's and beating the employee's may become the new sport, rather than the current one of just beating up or shooting the other customers in the store.

I can see the new employee video's at McDonald's, what to do when a customer jumps over the counter and starts beating you. How to respond. Do you fight back?

Man enters your house after dark, hits you, you retreat, grab a fireplace tool and hit the intruder. You hit the intruder after he has fallen to the ground. Your internal video system captures you doing this.

Are you guilty of a crime in Texas? (remember you could have just opened up with your shotgun and would have been within your rights)

What about if its during the daytime? Does anything change?

Your a bank teller, a man jumps the counter and hits you.....

Strange man comes into your office at work and begins beating your receptionist, she screams for help....

So its New York, the rules there are different. Its hard to tell what really happened, but I would say if it was in Houston, the McDonald's employee would have been patted on the back by the police. It appears to be at night. It also seems the "victims" are on the wrong side of the counter.

In my opinion it was a good thing that Chris Wragge left Houston for New York as this sort of one sided journalism doesn't work for me here in Houston. It probably plays a lot better where he is.

So if it was the daytime, would he still be within his rights to subdue the "victims" with a metal bar or must he retreat and only use equal force to protect himself and his other employees?
