McDonald’s Assault Survivor Speaks Out: ‘If I Didn’t Do Anything, Who Would Have?’
Yasmine James, the 20 year old from Florida who vent viral for defending herself against a man attacking her while she worked at McDonald’s is speaking out.
She has not been fired by McDonald’s as is rumored on the internet but she admits she has not returned to work yet. Daniel Taylor, the 40 year old man who attacked her, has been arrested and charged with two simple counts of battery. Taylor reached over the counter and grabbed Yasmine by the collar when she wouldn’t give him a straw.
Yasmine unleashed a fury of punches on the man. She said she was scared because she did not know if he had a gun or a knife. She said she is conflicted over how she feels about her co-workers, who are being heavily criticized on social media for not stepping in and doing more. She knows some were afraid to lose their job, another is in college and didn’t want to mess up that opportunity.
She does feel like they could have done more. If you were her co-worker, what would you have done in the situation?
