McDonald's may be facing one of the worst backlashes after an employee made a move that landed the fast food chain in the middle of one of the year's biggest controversies.

The CEO of American health carrier UnitedHealthcare, Brian Thompson, was gunned down and killed outside of a hotel in New York City by a masked suspect during the early hours of the morning last Wednesday.

According to the police, the suspect was captured on security footage heading to Manhattan's Central Park on an electric bike immediately after the crime and then taking a taxi to a bus station to flee the city.

After a five-day search, the suspect in the UnitedHealthcare (UNH) CEO shooting, twenty-six-year-old Luigi Mangione, was arrested Monday on a gun charge at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania, thanks to a McDonald's employee who alerted the police after a customer spotted the suspect.

The same day Mangione was taken into custody, multiple users flooded Google (GOOGL) with negative reviews about the McDonald's (MCD) location where the arrest occurred.

These reviews were unrelated to its business. Instead, they referred to political views, with some allegedly glorifying the suspect for the crime and slamming the McDonald's employee for calling the police.

Not only were the McDonald's Google reviews bombarded, but Yelp also suffered the same fate with thousands of negative reviews about the location.

Nope. No one is suffering because of this. Media is pushing this narrative.

I believe the Mc Donalds worker who notified the cops is eligible for a $50,000 reward.

“The same day Mangione was taken into custody, multiple users flooded Google (GOOGL) with negative reviews about the McDonald’s (MCD) location where the arrest occurred.”

The nice thing about having 13,000 restaurants is that people will VERY RARELY read a review for a particular location, but instead already know the location and likely have been there many times, or at least have eaten at McDonald’s many times.

Now for a mom-and-pop joint, the reviews are make or break.

So cold-blooded murder is nothing more than a "controversy?"
