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.

    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?

      I would, but that vs a nation of people who would be threatening me & my family if my name got out is the thought experiment that piqued my curiosity.
