Damn. Yeah pretty much agree with NC and FRPLG. The woman shouldn't have jumped over the counter, so he was obviously within his right to defend himself. But once she's down he should've stopped. He took it too far and I think both of them are going to have to spend some time in jail as a result of it.

I once worked as a McDonalds cashier.
The 1st rule of McD's: Once you jump the counter you're fair game.

This is why you don't beat your kids. Every person in that video from the women that thought it was alright to slap the guy and call him a pussy before jumping the counter to the guy that went nuts with a metal rod probably all had disturbing child hoods filled with violence and abuse.

Or they were just asshole hood people.
There's a lesson to be learned here: When keeping it real, always be wary of those keepin' it realer

Although the guy went too far, F better that think they can act like that anywhere. I've seen people say some screwed up stuff to people working in the fast food and services industries. And IMO they do that because they think they are "better" than others. People just need to learn how to act.

I don't blame that guy for one second. I would also have to say that i find it extremely unlikely that a jury will convict that guy. He was physically assaulted first, and then when the women jumped the counter, he was acting in self defense. They could have been coming at him with a knife or a gun.
I don't think that beating with a metal pole was over-kill either. It was make-due with whatever the guy had laying around. He was trying to tell them to stay down. If he let one of them up, he could have been caught with a knife or a shank or something. The guy was 100% within his rights.

I dont see a thing wrong with what he did.
Lets just think for a second if it were two men who jumped the counter. Would those who thinks he was in the wrong still feel the same way?
What if the cashier was a woman? And she did the beat down. People would be praising her.
I think he did what he had to do because two nutjobs just verbally berated him, slapped him in the face and when he tried to get away they jumped the counter and came after him. I say he did what he had to do.

Exactly. To me, he stops, and something happens on the ground that makes him continue. You don't know anything about those two women. Are they on drugs? Do they have weapons. If I have a metal rod, and you're moving your hands towards your waist, you get another whack. Shut up, stop moving, and wait for the ambulance.
Or maybe this guy was just a nut job who lost his cool and took a situation from bad to worse?
