LOS ANGELES - Los Angeles police are looking for a man who beat up a 16-year-old girl at a McDonald's counter after she complained about him cutting in line.

Police announced their investigation Tuesday night and posted surveillance video online.

Police say the girl, her 5-year-old niece and a friend were standing in line on Sept. 14 at the McDonald's in South Los Angeles. The suspect and two young boys then approached the counter when the 16-year-old started arguing with the man over who was first in line.

The human condition is strange. Why would anyone fight someone over this?
Or..How low can humans stoop to prove how stupid we really are...? My guess is pretty low..

1. Wow....

2. What a McAsshole

21. LMAO

Obviously the situation sucks and the guy is a major asshole for what he did but I couldn't help but laugh at your name for him.

Ew, I hope they don't add that to the value menu anytime soon.

3. misdirected anger

Stuffing it, stuffing it, stuffing it, then exploding at the first person who (you perceive) crosses you. That's how. Generally, people in this society are taught to be afraid of their anger, so they suppress it at all costs.

4. A good explanation, but..

why beat someone up? It is just a stupid line. we all gotta stand in lines..
.. But suppress the anger then let it go. at anyone..
...Makes sense?..

6. who knows?

Why did the guy in Tennessee walk into the church and start shooting? Why walk into a post office or mall and start shooting? I would imagine that after this happened the guy probably, either talking with someone or thinking to himself, was justifying "why" he did it and that she should have just "kept her mouth shut", or something like that. Holding court in his mind in order to make himself right and her wrong. Circumstances don't necessarily matter to delusional people... it happens all over the world, every day.

14. If it'd been a 6' plus, 250 pound hulk, the perp would've managed to control himself.

Just like domestic abusers. They beat somebody if they perceive they can get away with it, and that the other person is weaker. They don't try to abuse or pick fights with those who are bigger than they are.

5. Jeez. It's McDonalds. I'd be fighting over

who is LAST in line.

[NOW tense]

7. Anger

8. Too much junk food rots your brain

and makes you have behavior management issues--that would be my guess.

17. Even a Happy Meal??!!!

Gives new meaning to the phrase, "Big Mac Attack".

I just use the drive-thru where available, I don't have to get jostled by people's undisciplined hyperactive brats there to get another fix.

[KillCapitalism]

9. I don't get it.

Who in their right mind would want to fight to be first in line for shitty food like that?:puke:

[LiberalEsto]

10. What kind of animal beats up 16-year-old girls?

And does it in front of children?

[Auggie]

11. I wonder if these are just random acts or an emerging pattern of frustration,

hopelessness and deteriorating mental health sponsored by BushCo.

12. Didn't Know This Was A Place For Local Crime Reports (n/t)

[truth2power]

13. It's from MSNBC. I guess they thought it was relevant enough...

Someone pee in your Wheaties this morning?

15. Could have been a mentally ill person or on some substance....

here is what happened to me:

I went into a Wendy's and there was a small line. There was an older man off to one side who looked either homeless or mentally ill. He was preaching Jesus at the young father in front of me in line. The young father was doing his best to just nod and agree, to get out of there without a scene.

The counter person asked who was next. When there was no response I stepped forward. The mentally ill mad went off and started screaming about how I cut him. I backed up and apologized and said "please, you go ahead, I didn't know you hadn't ordered" He continued to scream insults at me, Curse me, Call me a racist white bitch and at this point I was getting scared. His behavior was bordering on violent. Very intimidating.

He chased me out of the store screaming that he hopes God damns me. I wasn't sure I would make it to my car.

I never looked back. I don't know if Wendy's called the authorities on him or not.

It was frightening as hell.

I chalk it up to mental illness or substance abuse.

I suspect this guy was one or the other. I hope they find him and get those poor boys away from his care.

19. Probably METH. n/t

[LanternWaste]

24. Meth-head at a McDonald's...

Meth-head at a McDonald's makes about as much sense as a stoner going on a fast... :P

[WriteDown]

16. Can this be correctly classified as a Big Mac Attack?

:shrug:

[BadgerKid]

20. Did she deserve a (face) break today?

:shrug:

[StreetKnowledge]

18. Dumb Asshole

It's funny how jerkoffs like that guy only attack people smaller than them. I'm 6'10" and 315 pounds, and I still wouldn't think of laying a hand on a woman, much less getting ticked at one who cut in line ahead of me. I hope that girl's father finds that jackass and beats HIM to a pulp.

[Ian David]

22. Who is first?

That's right.

Who is first, What is Second, I don't know is third.

[Alcibiades]

23. "Why would anyone fight someone over this?"

A grown man vs a 16 year old girl: probably not so much a fight as a brutal, senseless assault.

[DemoTex]

25. It's kind of like two bald men fighting over a comb.

Senseless.

:shrug:

26. This story makes me Grimace.

Sorry - couldn't help it.
