Well its interesting to note that all the deaths happened on or near mcdonalds property and were not committed by the corporation themselves lol. The website address itself is sort of incinuating that mcdonalds killed these people, when in fact it was other people such as criminals, crazies, etc.
So yea, im not surprized why they are being threatened with legal action.

I hate how people use correlational evidence to support their crazy theories.

Example:
Grand theft auto causes violent actions in teens

usually (and i use this very loosely as it is usually most of the time) there are outside factors. As Brent said, mcdonalds isn't the one commiting these things

To Whom It May Concern:

My name is Melissa Rose and I'm 23 years old. I just stumbled upon your website and I feel that I have to share my story with you.

Nearly 17 years ago my father, Steve Rose, was the manager of a McDonald's restaurant in Macon, GA. Late on the night of January 14, 1989, my father and Rick Kea, the other manager of the store, were closing. McDonald's had been making night deposits, which was against corporate policy, according to the McDonald's Corporate Handbook. Two weeks prior, there was a robbery at that very store. My father had only been employed at this particular McDonald's store for a week, but heard about this robbery and was concerned about the night deposits. He decided to make the deposit earlier in the day. Upon closing, Steve and Rick were met at gunpoint by burglars in the parking lot. Rick Kea was shot in the chest and died immediately. My father ran across the street, hoping to escape. He was shot first in the arm, then in the leg, and finally, the shot that killed him, hit him point blank in the temple. The killers only got my father's and Rick's wallets. When Steve ran across the street, he crossed the jurisdiction line between Bibb County and the Macon police, so there was a dispute over who was responsible for the case. The police found Rick dead at 2:30 a.m. They did not find my father until 5:30 a.m. and McDonald's opened the store less than an hour after the discovery of my father for the morning breakfast rush. The police never found the killers and this case has been nicknamed "the McDonald's Murders" throughout the middle Georgia region. Three months after the murders, corporate McDonald's sent one sentence condolence letters to the Keas and my family. To this day, that is the only thing we ever received. My mother asked McDonald's to pay for our health insurance (she stopped working to stay home with my brother and I; we were very young and traumatized), but they refused. When I graduated from high school, my mother sent two certified letters to McDonald's to see if there were any scholarships to which I could apply for college. They never responded.

What the fuck? Why would McDonalds pay for college or health insurance? Her dad was killed by criminals, it happened to occur at his work place. It's not like he slipped and was burned alive by the grill. They had absolutly nothing to do with his death, why would she expect anything from them?

Because the reason he was killed by criminals was that he was working at a viable target for armed robbery. Your argument is analogous to saying that a construction worker who is killed by freak falling debris is a retard who should have been out of the way. Employers should factor in the risks to their employees and have policies appropriate. The life insurance policy of my father for example pays double if he is killed while working (flying to go to a conference as opposed to going to vacation).

I'm not saying that McDonald's should be responsible for paying for their lives, but jesus people, a widowed woman with 2 young children... have a bit more sympathy. McDonald's could have at least provided a bit of support until she was back on her feet.
