thirty five year old Tanika McKenzie.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Now, let me tell you something.
Speaker 4 (00:28):
I respect hardworking people in all industries, especially fast food
service industries.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Okay, it's no secret.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
My wife and I are on Trystal franchises in South
Carolina slew Thought spots in Orangeburg and walter Bor Okay,
South Carolina, respectfully.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
So I see firsthand how.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
Hard fast food service workers work, and I also see
the bs they have to deal with because they are
constantly having to engage with the most unstable creatures on
the planet.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
And those unstable creatures are humans. Okay.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
Can you imagine, regardless of what's going on in your life,
regardless of what it is you're going through, you know,
you have agreed to do a job, and you have
to do that job every day to the best of
your ability at the highest level, regardless of how you
may be feeling.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
I mean, that's all of us but you can't bring
your bs to work. Okay. The customers don't deserve that,
and vice versa.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Whatever you got going on in your life, don't take
that out on the fast.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Food workers customers, okay.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
Or to your number two combo meal large and keep
it pushing and be kind in the process because you
don't know what other people are going through.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
By the way, once again, this works both ways.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
Respect me, I'll respect you because disrespect begets disrespect every time.
See Kathy and Bledsoel was a manager at McDonald's and
she told one of her teenage employees to take the
trash out, and the teenage employee refused to do so. Now,
imagine for a second you a manager at McDonald's. Just
are you a manager at McDonald's and you ask a
(01:46):
teenage worker to take the trash out? And they say, no,
what you gonna do?
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Fire?
Speaker 4 (01:51):
Yeah, that's what most people would do, right, Okay, that's
what most people would do.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
She didn't even do that. Okay.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
All she simply did was tell her to clock out
and go home.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
That's it.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
That's what Kathy did. Told her the clock out and
go home. What a girl called her mother?
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (02:07):
Thirty five year old Taanika McKenzie, who then came to
McDonald's with another teenage girl to confront Kathy Bledsoe and
then all hell broke clues.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Let's go to NBC five for the report. Police.
Speaker 5 (02:17):
Shortly before five Wednesday afternoon, police went to check out
a disturbance at this McDonald's on South Belt East in Bellville.
Officers learned a shooting happened inside the fast food restaurant.
The person, police say pull the trigger is a manager,
forty four year old Kathy Bledsoe. Investigator say the McDonald's
manager asked the teenage employee to take the trash out,
(02:41):
and when she refused, the girl returned here with her mother.
Police say Bledsoe and the Belleville mom, thirty five year
old Tanika McKenzie, first argued in the McDonald's lobby. The
altercation escalated when mackenzie and her daughter went behind the
front counter to an office area. Investigator say McKinnon struck
Bledsoe in her face and head. Police say the restaurant
(03:04):
manager then pulled out a gun and fired once, striking
the mom in her leg.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
Oh my god, Donkey men breed with donkey women and
have donkey kids. This teenage girl is a donkey with
no home training. Because you work at McDonald's and your
manager asked you to take the trash out. You didn't
take the trash out, so they tell you clock out
and go home. You call your mama, who's thirty five
year old Tanika. Okay, and in Tanika, you didn't ask
no questions of your daughter. Right is right and wrong
(03:31):
is wrong. I don't know what Kathy said to her
in the process of telling her to clock out, but
it couldn't have been worth you coming to McDonald's, you know,
coming back to McDonald's with your.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Daughter to assault Kathy, who is teaching the children here.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
Okay, this is terrible conflict resolution skills. You went back
to McDonald's with your child and almost got both of
y'all killed.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
Kathy was charged with aggravated unlawful use of a weapon
and Tanika was charged with aggravated battery and mob action.
I don't think Kathy should be charged with a damn thing. Okay,
she did exactly what she was supposed to do. I'm
at work and I sent your child home for not
doing her job, and you come up to my place
of employment to step behind my counter and try to
jump me.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Yes, I'm up and on everybody if I'm scrapped.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
Okay, Kathy got hit in the face and head and
fired one shot that hit Tanika in the leg, all
because your child didn't want to take the trash out.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
And guess what, now we know where the DOTTA gets
it from. Okay.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
The Bella Bille Police Department put out a statement, and
I'm not going to read the whole thing, but they
basically said it's unfortunate this incident occurred. It seems individuals
are quick to resort the violence to resolve disputes without
consideration of the impact their actions have on the community
as a whole. This was an unnecessary incident that could
have been mitigated without punches being thrown.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Are a gun being used?
Speaker 4 (04:44):
That statement sounds like US civilians talking to the police. Yes,
plenty of interactions with cops. Don't have to lead the
violence either.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Well, let me stay focused.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
Now, Kathy is in custody at the time in this article,
but Tanika is not. I guess because she's in the hospital.
But I don't think that's right. Okay, what did Kathy
do wrong here? Your child Anika didn't take the trash
out at McDonald's.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Okay, I'm her manager. I sent her home.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
You come to my place of employment, you and that
little girl and try to jump me.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Come behind the county and put hands on me. I
shot you. Is that not stand in your ground? Is
that not self defense? Now?
Speaker 4 (05:20):
This happened in Illinois. Illinois does not have to stand
your ground law, It says, while Illinois does recognize the
right to self defense, it does not allow for the
use of force in public spaces without a duty to
retreat if a safe escape is available. Illinois law requires
a reasonable belief of imminent harm and that retreat was
not possible before using force in self defense. Listen, she
(05:42):
got confronted by two people and hitting the face ahead.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
The floor in the back of McDonald's might have been wet.
I might not get to ran all right. It's either
this pistolrd of French Fried Greece. Either way, it's fire.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
Let me tell you something, man, A bad leader can
take a good staff and destroy it.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Tanika, you are a bad leader. Okay.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Kathy is a great leader. She sent your daughter home
for not doing her job. Consequences to negative actions. You
came to jump her and got shot. Consequences to negative actions,
and I bet the McKenzie family still ain't learning a
damn thing because of it. Please give to Tika McKenzie
the biggest sea hull. What did Kathy do wrong?
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Nothing at all?
Speaker 6 (06:25):
Nothing like that's basically a family of clowns. Like that's
just like you said, who is raising the kids like that?
Speaker 1 (06:32):
That is your friend?
Speaker 2 (06:34):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Like that, that's what happened.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
A lot of young mothers like do that.
Speaker 6 (06:38):
They they raised their kids based on like how you know,
like they want to be their friend, Except there's no
discipline in that house. You can tell like cause, like
you said, she didn't even ask her no questions, No
questions were asked.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Why why did you? Why are you being sent home?
What happened? If you just go up there, you want.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
Because what you should do, You're gonna ask the child, right,
the child will tell you one story. And if you
do want to go to McDonald's, you go up there
and you have a simplized conversation with the manager.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Kathy, what happened? What she do?
Speaker 4 (07:08):
As did to take the trash out to the niggas
she ain't want to take the trash out.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Oh okay, I see how she don't like taking the
trash out at home? A girl again because it says teenagers. Yeah,
she don't do chores, She has no responsibility. She probably
only got the job because she want to make her
own money. Probably don't have money to give her extra
money to give her.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
She won't take the trash out at home neither. Kathy,
her silly ass. You know no where IM gonna handle it.
Thank you for not firing her. I'm I'm gonna fix
it instead. You go up there and get shot. That's crazy,
Well get shot.
