About Me
- The Contrarian Expatriate
- I am an American who has lived in various regions in the USA and has traveled to over 85 countries. Extensive travel has opened my eyes to the many myths firmly held by most Americans, the first of which is the notion that America is the best nation in the world. Perhaps it was in the past, but it is anything but now. In this blog, I explore why.

They were looking for trouble and found it. Women need to stop with the "untouchable" persona and realize anybody can get beat up nowadays.. Especially if they deserved it, such as this case.. He went over the line but he also just got out of jail for killing someone when he was a teen. So his level of violence is as he displayed.
ReplyDeleteI also would blame McDonald's HR for putting that man in that situation, if they knew about his record. I've been to that McDonald's and it's always full of a$$holes begging for trouble.
I agree. Assaulted, chased, and out numbered, I would defend myself as well. It may seem excessive but if she got up, who knows what she could have done.
ReplyDeleteYes he was justified. One woman kept yelling "do something" plus they pursued him. I would gladly contribute to the man's legal fees.
ReplyDeletejustified
ReplyDeleteI agree.
ReplyDeleteThe young man's name is Rayon McIntosh and he was arrested for Felony Assault. The women were charged with simple misdemeanors.
ReplyDeleteI believe this guy will be acquitted if the charges are not dropped. To the people who believe he went overboard, you are not considering that these women could have been armed and the rear part of McDonald's could mean hot oil slung at you or worse.
If there is a legal defense fund for Rayon, I will contribute.
There is a Facebook support page for Rayon:

Of course he's justified. When they jumped the counter he was in danger. He didn't know what they would/could do and there were two of them. No on on the internet seems to disagree with this, yet thousands of people immediately started using this as a chance to bash feminists. I haven't heard a single feminist opinion on this, besides my own, so all I can assume is there is a startling number of people out there looking for any chance they can get to take women's rights down a peg. It's f***ed up.
ReplyDeleteYeah I saw these reports but one has nothing to do with the other IMO. Some deeper research will tell you that he was 19 and accidentally shot his 17 year old friend when they were both on their way to confront another rival group of teenagers. The jury was actually deadlocked and failed to convict but he plead guilty to manslaughter to avoid another trial as an adult - that's what he went to jail for.
ReplyDeleteThe guy officially paid his debt to society... got out and got probably the only job that would hire him... commutes to that job regularly... then gets slapped and chased while at that job and reverted to defending himself.

ReplyDeleteI doubt if that is the case here. The point is, if women do want equality, then women have to face up to the fact that if they initiate a violent attack, they have no right to complain about "violence against women" when they get their clocks cleaned.
One reason this video has gone viral is that a lot of people are fed up with the type of petty thuggery we see these women commit. So they cheer on anyone who fights back. And if he did apply some overkill, well, the popular opinion is, more power to him.
Might make some potential thugs think twice next time around.
Innocent and free charges may be brought against the women yayyyyyyyyyy
