My thoughts? Race card. Plain and simple. Question is is it wrong to play race card here against a very big corporation that can afford to give him money without being significantly worse off? A person gets one chance to live, shouldn't it be justified for him to maximise his pleasure in this one life by becoming a rich man? Or is it simply wrong because it sets a bad precedent for society? |

can someone help me out? i have read this story multiple times and i don't see the dollar amount he tried to pay with.
the story is about how the cashier didn't think the bill he paid with was of legal tender yet i don't see the amount he gave them.
and sorry but boohoohoo, a homeless man suddenly wasn't homeless after this... he had a roof over his head, a bed, food, all over the worst months to be homeless in [nov to feb]... srsly, a tub of butter he fell into!
funny how this was three years ago and probably wouldn't be an issue today if those two guys at starbucks weren't arrested for 'being there'. srsly, this is just a race card lawsuit.

I don't know about suing Burger King, but he should DEFINITELY sue the city for a false arrest. I don't understand how it is possible that they would go as far as charging him before knowing with certainty that the bank note was forged. |

Or is it simply wrong because it sets a bad precedent for society? I have to admit I did not read the whole article but if he was wronged he deserves compensation. Nonetheless, my opinion is as you stated at the end, although I don't tend to use the word "society". The race card sets a bad precedent. |

Burger King's defense is, "He should be paying us. He got three months of free meals because of us."

This whole thing is criminal. The most criminal part of it is that he wanted to eat at BURGER KING!!!  |
