Summary

McDonald’s locations in Altoona, Pennsylvania, and Altoona, Iowa, were flooded with false 1-star reviews after the arrest of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s suspected killer at an Altoona, PA, McDonald’s.

Users posted claims of rats, poor service, and references to the employee who reported the suspect.

Some reviews mocked the arrest, calling the location “Narc-donalds” and joking about the staff’s actions.

The surge in reviews appears to be a mix of humor and criticism tied to the high-profile arrest.

    I was wondering if the person who turned him in has been following the overwhelming sense of support for what he did.

    Basically, did they think about that before doing anything, or did they not give it a second thought because they didn’t realize there could be a backlash?

      1. You may be underestimating how much people read/see beyond headlines.
      2. If there was a person who had murdered someone in front of you, do you think you’d not worry for your own safety?
