- 0:35Speaker 4: Carolina slew Thought spots in Orangeburg and walter Bor Okay,
- 0:39Speaker 4: South Carolina, respectfully.
- 0:40Speaker 1: So I see firsthand how.
- 0:42Speaker 4: Hard fast food service workers work, and I also see
- 0:44Speaker 4: the bs they have to deal with because they are
- 0:46Speaker 4: constantly having to engage with the most unstable creatures on
- 0:49Speaker 4: the planet.
- 0:50Speaker 1: And those unstable creatures are humans. Okay.
- 0:52Speaker 4: Can you imagine, regardless of what's going on in your life,
- 0:55Speaker 4: regardless of what it is you're going through, you know,
- 0:57Speaker 4: you have agreed to do a job, and you have
- 0:59Speaker 4: to do that job every day to the best of
- 1:01Speaker 4: your ability at the highest level, regardless of how you
- 1:04Speaker 4: may be feeling.
- 1:05Speaker 1: I mean, that's all of us but you can't bring
- 1:07Speaker 1: your bs to work. Okay. The customers don't deserve that,
- 1:10Speaker 1: and vice versa.
- 1:11Speaker 4: Whatever you got going on in your life, don't take
- 1:13Speaker 4: that out on the fast.
- 1:14Speaker 1: Food workers customers, okay.
- 1:16Speaker 4: Or to your number two combo meal large and keep
- 1:18Speaker 4: it pushing and be kind in the process because you
- 1:21Speaker 4: don't know what other people are going through.
- 1:23Speaker 1: By the way, once again, this works both ways.
- 1:26Speaker 4: Respect me, I'll respect you because disrespect begets disrespect every time.
- 1:30Speaker 4: See Kathy and Bledsoel was a manager at McDonald's and
- 1:33Speaker 4: she told one of her teenage employees to take the
- 1:36Speaker 4: trash out, and the teenage employee refused to do so. Now,
- 1:40Speaker 4: imagine for a second you a manager at McDonald's. Just
- 1:43Speaker 4: are you a manager at McDonald's and you ask a
- 1:46Speaker 4: teenage worker to take the trash out? And they say, no,
- 1:48Speaker 4: what you gonna do?
- 1:50Speaker 1: Fire?
- 1:51Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what most people would do, right, Okay, that's
- 1:54Speaker 4: what most people would do.
- 1:55Speaker 1: She didn't even do that. Okay.
- 1:57Speaker 4: All she simply did was tell her to clock out
- 2:01Speaker 4: and go home.
- 2:02Speaker 1: That's it.
- 2:03Speaker 4: That's what Kathy did. Told her the clock out and
- 2:04Speaker 4: go home. What a girl called her mother?
- 2:07Speaker 1: Okay?
- 2:07Speaker 4: Thirty five year old Taanika McKenzie, who then came to
- 2:10Speaker 4: McDonald's with another teenage girl to confront Kathy Bledsoe and
- 2:14Speaker 4: then all hell broke clues.
- 2:15Speaker 1: Let's go to NBC five for the report. Police.
- 2:17Speaker 5: Shortly before five Wednesday afternoon, police went to check out
- 2:21Speaker 5: a disturbance at this McDonald's on South Belt East in Bellville.
- 2:25Speaker 5: Officers learned a shooting happened inside the fast food restaurant.
- 2:30Speaker 5: The person, police say pull the trigger is a manager,
- 2:34Speaker 5: forty four year old Kathy Bledsoe. Investigator say the McDonald's
- 2:37Speaker 5: manager asked the teenage employee to take the trash out,
- 2:41Speaker 5: and when she refused, the girl returned here with her mother.
- 2:44Speaker 5: Police say Bledsoe and the Belleville mom, thirty five year
- 2:47Speaker 5: old Tanika McKenzie, first argued in the McDonald's lobby. The
- 2:52Speaker 5: altercation escalated when mackenzie and her daughter went behind the
- 2:56Speaker 5: front counter to an office area. Investigator say McKinnon struck
- 3:00Speaker 5: Bledsoe in her face and head. Police say the restaurant
- 3:04Speaker 5: manager then pulled out a gun and fired once, striking
- 3:08Speaker 5: the mom in her leg.
- 3:10Speaker 4: Oh my god, Donkey men breed with donkey women and
- 3:14Speaker 4: have donkey kids. This teenage girl is a donkey with
- 3:16Speaker 4: no home training. Because you work at McDonald's and your
- 3:19Speaker 4: manager asked you to take the trash out. You didn't
- 3:21Speaker 4: take the trash out, so they tell you clock out
- 3:23Speaker 4: and go home. You call your mama, who's thirty five
- 3:25Speaker 4: year old Tanika. Okay, and in Tanika, you didn't ask
- 3:29Speaker 4: no questions of your daughter. Right is right and wrong
- 3:31Speaker 4: is wrong. I don't know what Kathy said to her
- 3:33Speaker 4: in the process of telling her to clock out, but
- 3:35Speaker 4: it couldn't have been worth you coming to McDonald's, you know,
- 3:38Speaker 4: coming back to McDonald's with your.
- 3:39Speaker 1: Daughter to assault Kathy, who is teaching the children here.
- 3:42Speaker 4: Okay, this is terrible conflict resolution skills. You went back
- 3:47Speaker 4: to McDonald's with your child and almost got both of
- 3:51Speaker 4: y'all killed.
- 3:51Speaker 1: Okay.
- 3:52Speaker 4: Kathy was charged with aggravated unlawful use of a weapon
- 3:54Speaker 4: and Tanika was charged with aggravated battery and mob action.
- 3:57Speaker 4: I don't think Kathy should be charged with a damn thing. Okay,
- 4:00Speaker 4: she did exactly what she was supposed to do. I'm
- 4:02Speaker 4: at work and I sent your child home for not
- 4:05Speaker 4: doing her job, and you come up to my place
- 4:07Speaker 4: of employment to step behind my counter and try to
- 4:09Speaker 4: jump me.
- 4:10Speaker 1: Yes, I'm up and on everybody if I'm scrapped.
- 4:12Speaker 4: Okay, Kathy got hit in the face and head and
- 4:14Speaker 4: fired one shot that hit Tanika in the leg, all
- 4:17Speaker 4: because your child didn't want to take the trash out.
- 4:21Speaker 1: And guess what, now we know where the DOTTA gets
- 4:24Speaker 1: it from. Okay.
- 4:25Speaker 4: The Bella Bille Police Department put out a statement, and
- 4:27Speaker 4: I'm not going to read the whole thing, but they
- 4:28Speaker 4: basically said it's unfortunate this incident occurred. It seems individuals
- 4:33Speaker 4: are quick to resort the violence to resolve disputes without
- 4:35Speaker 4: consideration of the impact their actions have on the community
- 4:38Speaker 4: as a whole. This was an unnecessary incident that could
- 4:41Speaker 4: have been mitigated without punches being thrown.
- 4:43Speaker 1: Are a gun being used?
- 4:44Speaker 4: That statement sounds like US civilians talking to the police. Yes,
- 4:48Speaker 4: plenty of interactions with cops. Don't have to lead the
- 4:50Speaker 4: violence either.
- 4:50Speaker 1: Well, let me stay focused.
- 4:52Speaker 4: Now, Kathy is in custody at the time in this article,
- 4:56Speaker 4: but Tanika is not. I guess because she's in the hospital.
- 4:59Speaker 4: But I don't think that's right. Okay, what did Kathy
- 5:02Speaker 4: do wrong here? Your child Anika didn't take the trash
- 5:05Speaker 4: out at McDonald's.
- 5:07Speaker 1: Okay, I'm her manager. I sent her home.
- 5:09Speaker 4: You come to my place of employment, you and that
- 5:11Speaker 4: little girl and try to jump me.
- 5:13Speaker 1: Come behind the county and put hands on me. I
- 5:16Speaker 1: shot you. Is that not stand in your ground? Is
- 5:18Speaker 1: that not self defense? Now?
- 5:20Speaker 4: This happened in Illinois. Illinois does not have to stand
- 5:22Speaker 4: your ground law, It says, while Illinois does recognize the
- 5:25Speaker 4: right to self defense, it does not allow for the
- 5:27Speaker 4: use of force in public spaces without a duty to
- 5:30Speaker 4: retreat if a safe escape is available. Illinois law requires
- 5:35Speaker 4: a reasonable belief of imminent harm and that retreat was
- 5:38Speaker 4: not possible before using force in self defense. Listen, she
- 5:42Speaker 4: got confronted by two people and hitting the face ahead.
- 5:45Speaker 1: Okay.
- 5:46Speaker 4: The floor in the back of McDonald's might have been wet.
- 5:47Speaker 4: I might not get to ran all right. It's either
- 5:49Speaker 4: this pistolrd of French Fried Greece. Either way, it's fire.
- 5:52Speaker 1: Okay.
- 5:52Speaker 4: Let me tell you something, man, A bad leader can
- 5:55Speaker 4: take a good staff and destroy it.
- 5:57Speaker 1: Tanika, you are a bad leader. Okay.
- 6:00Speaker 4: Kathy is a great leader. She sent your daughter home
- 6:03Speaker 4: for not doing her job. Consequences to negative actions. You
- 6:07Speaker 4: came to jump her and got shot. Consequences to negative actions,
- 6:12Speaker 4: and I bet the McKenzie family still ain't learning a
- 6:14Speaker 4: damn thing because of it. Please give to Tika McKenzie
- 6:17Speaker 4: the biggest sea hull. What did Kathy do wrong?
- 6:24Speaker 1: Nothing at all?
- 6:25Speaker 6: Nothing like that's basically a family of clowns. Like that's
- 6:29Speaker 6: just like you said, who is raising the kids like that?
- 6:32Speaker 1: That is your friend?
- 6:34Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
- 6:35Speaker 1: Like that, that's what happened.
- 6:37Speaker 2: A lot of young mothers like do that.
- 6:38Speaker 6: They they raised their kids based on like how you know,
- 6:45Speaker 6: like they want to be their friend, Except there's no
- 6:47Speaker 6: discipline in that house. You can tell like cause, like
- 6:49Speaker 6: you said, she didn't even ask her no questions, No
- 6:51Speaker 6: questions were asked.
- 6:52Speaker 1: Why why did you? Why are you being sent home?
- 6:54Speaker 1: What happened? If you just go up there, you want.
- 6:58Speaker 4: Because what you should do, You're gonna ask the child, right,
- 7:00Speaker 4: the child will tell you one story. And if you
- 7:02Speaker 4: do want to go to McDonald's, you go up there
- 7:03Speaker 4: and you have a simplized conversation with the manager.
- 7:06Speaker 1: Kathy, what happened? What she do?
- 7:08Speaker 4: As did to take the trash out to the niggas
- 7:09Speaker 4: she ain't want to take the trash out.
- 7:10Speaker 3: Oh okay, I see how she don't like taking the
- 7:12Speaker 3: trash out at home? A girl again because it says teenagers. Yeah,
- 7:20Speaker 3: she don't do chores, She has no responsibility. She probably
- 7:23Speaker 3: only got the job because she want to make her
- 7:24Speaker 3: own money. Probably don't have money to give her extra
- 7:27Speaker 3: money to give her.
