"A man apparently dressed as a competitor’s mascot handed out free food and took pictures with children at the West Rome McDonald’s on Monday afternoon, according to Rome Police reports.
According to the report: Rome Police were called to the restaurant at 2215 Shorter Ave. at approximately 1 p.m. by a manager in reference to a suspicious person. When they arrived, the manager said that a man dressed as the mascot for Burger King entered the restaurant with bags of hamburgers and began handing them out to several customers. He danced while inside the restaurant and stopped to take pictures with children. The report states that one child took a picture with him and ran away as he appeared to be scared." http://www.rn-t.com/view/full_story/2018......McDonald

If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

What an ass! I don't think what this knucklehead did was funny at all, but he was just being an A-hole and he knew he was out of line. The guy obviously was looking to pick and start a fight by bringing in a competitor's mascot to a McD's. So, with extreme prejudice, the manager should have just slapped the crap out of him. Maybe have a few of the employees come over and beat him across the head with a broom stick. Coming in with a competitor's mascot. He knew better. Then the cops would have a reason to answer a call and people would think twice before bringing in a competitor's mascot trying to insult McDs.

He just needs somebody to slap the crap out of him and knock some sense into him. Then he'll start to consider being polite and more considerate of others. Cops won't do anything to the guy and because the cops won't do anything to the guy, somebody just needs to give a serious backslap that way he knows he screwed up. The guy just needs a little bit of street justice to teach him a lesson. I don't think it's funny or cute what this guy did and he was just being darn right rude. He deserves a good backslap. Sometimes the cops cannot or simply will not deal out justice so then street justice should take over sometimes. The prankster needs to learn the golden rule. Sometimes, the cops have been known to look the other way when a little street justice gets dealt out to somebody who deserves it. Walking into food chain wearing a rival mascot and knowing full well it's a rival mascot and knowing it will cause some drama, is not a cool thing to do. This guy wasn't ignorant. He knew what he was doing. Obviously, he was looking for trouble by doing what he did.
