Wednesday

Hahahahahaha! Good one, Mac! I can hear the music cue in my head.

(Skip to about 4:18.)

Follow-up to the Great Larryville McDonalds incident yesterday:

Around 4:30 a.m., Gwinnett police received reports that the suspect, later identified as 36-year-old Lawrenceville resident Derrick Hall, had barricaded himself inside a restroom with a knife at the Sugarloaf Parkway McDonald’s after being asked to leave the restaurant.

The 911 caller told dispatch that they believed Hall was doing drugs and that when he was asked to leave, he fled into the men’s restroom.

For nearly four hours, Pihera said, SWAT team members, negotiators and the Gwinnett County Fire Department worked to coax Hall out of the bathroom, with negotiators “actively trying to communicate” with him, though “he never responded coherently.”

“At times, the suspect would open the restroom door and swing his knife at the officers,” Pihera said, “(and) while the suspect was inside the restroom, he caused significant damage. To my knowledge, he pulled the urinal off the wall leading to a broken water pipe.”

Pihera said at around 8:15 a.m., the SWAT Team deployed gas inside the McDonald’s and “shortly after the gas deployment, the suspect was taken into custody without incident.”

Hiya, Sven and Paddy!

Thankfully no one died.

But McDonalds lost a perfectly good urinal; bet they were, ah, pissed about that. 👿

Gornography? I wonder if Kurt Eichenwald is in to that, too?

Heh.

Apparently, he made himself somewhat even more toxic on Twitter yesterday. (Missed that as I had zero time for the folderol of social media.)
