She lawyered up.



Yasmine James, 20 was brutally attacked on New Year’s eve at the place of her employment. She has retained me and I am proud to join with Shannon Ligon, Esq. to work for justice for Ms. James.

While Taylor was arrested, the McDonald’s corporation has yet to release a statement about the incident and has placed Ms. James on leave. This case is a clear example of how white privilege and male privilege too often leave Black women alone to defend themselves in the face of harm. I’m grateful that Ms. James has entrusted me with her case; she’s not alone in the fight anymore.”

“I am not only physically hurt, but I am emotionally hurt that I was left to defend myself even as I was surrounded by my co-workers and other bystanders,” James said. “I am so grateful for the outpouring of support I have received from all around the country. I am aware this type of violence happens to women, especially Black women, everyday. For me, this was ‘the last straw.’ I am committed to using this horrible experience as means to fight for justice, not only for myself, but for other women experiencing this kind of violence in environments where they should be safe and protected.”

Disturbing/disgusting

This is awful I hope she’s okay

I feel so bad for people that have to deal with irate/dangerous customers and all this for minimum wage :Nono:

When I worked at a theme park this white guy came over a counter for a Eastern European girl and my bro stepped in. People are quick to dehumanize service workers and I know that goes doubly for black people :(

Makes sense. She was an immigrant which is next in line to stir the ire of some racist/hating wp right after minorities. I think these people want to look down on others and anything that divides us from them: color, an accent, etc can stir their rage.
Glad your bro helped.

Sidestepping the "lynch mob"
A man grabs me across the counter in a chokehold, I will defend myself... she fought him OFF...

That said, she likely got fired for not following procedure involving irate customers. I don't know what McDonald's policies are, but in a customer service environment, it is safer to take action to de-escalate a situation than contribute to it. I never agree with arguing with a customer. But that manager should've done more to protect the employees by telling that thug to leave and refuse to serve him
Thanks for the phone number
I saw so many people cheering on her fighting skills telling MMA and UFC to call her.
No that's not the answer. The answer was for her to be protected in the first place and
secondly for her to not have more violence introduced to her life.

In what world does the victim get fired. I want to find out exactly who owns this particular
franchise. They need to answer for why she was fired.

If it was my employee I'd give her an award and fire the mitch made manager.

This fool already had a straw on his tray and was too crazy to know. You know it's a mess
when white men are in the comments asking why her male co workers didn't put them paws
on him.

In cases of fight or flight flight needs to be the first option.

I am a delicate flower I'm not fightin no man just for the sake of fighting him.
I'm getting away from the big scary thug, and I can cuss him and argue from
behind the fries.

No one picked up the phone at the McDonald’s on 4595 34th Street South when called for comment by Yahoo Lifestyle. And a representative of McDonald’s corporate office did not return Yahoo Lifestyle’s request for comment.

Phone: (727) 866-2370

Yes fight him off be the point is to not be arguing and going back and forth
with a crazy man close enough to grab you. Talk your :censored: from a safe distance
The manager was a dang fool he proceeded to process the refund

I agree with you. Let's face it, one punch to the face and she might be out because testosterone and muscle mass, men have us on lock. So I am not excited that she was punching away at him. I do think she should try to get away, scream, and go for the delicate flower life . I agree flight should be the first option unless it doesn't work, and then you need to go at them.

With that said, I'm not going to judge her because she did what she could do in that moment, while frightened for her life because let's face it, who knows what could happen to her? I mean if a man thinks it is okay to reach over and grab her, he might think it's okay to end her life. So sis thought she should punch her way free and that's okay.

I mean once a fool grab you you need to try and take his :censored: head off

She seems so cute and sweet. I like that she’s appropriately assigning blame to McDonald’s, too. She’s demonstrating that there are broader labor issues that are systemic in nature.

God bless this young lady. I am still upset that she experienced such reprehensible treatment from that goon and is still having to fend for herself.

I'm sure she was coached by her lawyer :giggle:, and yes GOOD. She needs to assign blame to McDonalds.

With that said, I do wish she did not just let the manager off the hook and say he wasn't trained to deal with this. Trained or not, he let dude go and proceeded to still serve dude after he grabbed her instead of calling the cops to contain the situation. This is a common sense issue. This not only shows a lack of judgment but dare I say an air of prejudice. He did not view her as human enough to be protected. He just let the situation continue to escalate until he had no choice but to call someone when he hit another woman. It's almost like it had to be a pattern, or else he was going to be the whole, "Are you sure" person when something racially motivated happens to a black person. But then it becomes so obvious through escalation that he finally decides to act . And for that, his actions were unacceptable. You should believe people the first time and not try to justify or understand mistreatment and violence of black women. I think that's why dude was allowed to get his "change" and still be served because the manager was trying to go on with business as usual and "ignore" the incident. But you can't ignore assault and I darn sure bet he wouldn't ignore assault to a ww in the same way (making change, etc). No cops would be on the scene immediately.

So yes. I assign blame to him and to mcdonalds.

He only got 60 days.

Judge: Jail time for man who attacked McDonald's worker over straw



Updated Mar 10 2019 04:46PM EDT

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) - A Florida man who grabbed a McDonald's worker by the collar because he couldn't find a straw was sentenced to 60 days in jail.

A Pinellas County judge also ordered 40-year-old Daniel Willis Taylor to stay away from the restaurant and the workers he attacked in an incident caught on video. Taylor was credited with the 58 days in jail he already served. He also must pay a $1,000 fine.

Authorities say Taylor became irate when he couldn't find a straw on New Years' Eve. The video shows him standing at the counter, screaming at 20-year-old Yasmine James before grabbing and holding onto her shirt collar. She responded by hitting him several times.

The clerk was not hurt, but the arrest affidavit said Taylor injured a second clerk by kicking her in the stomach as he was being escorted out.

So, he assaults two women and only gets 60 days and a 1K fine? Yeah, white privilege doesn't exist :rolleyes: I bet he'll get out right away for "over crowding" or some other :censored:
