Breitbart.tv » Cops Cite Utah Teens for Rapping Order at McDonald’s

I have little patience for rap in general, and I have even less when white kids are involved, but what I absolutely will not stand for is a citation being issued for not speaking in an acceptable way. Toss this one out on grounds it violates the First Amendment. They may speak in whatever manner they like, to include rapping.

Just another example of overcriminalization of our society.

This is ridiculous. I guess I'd better be careful the next time I order "two all beef patties special sauce lettuce cheese pickles onions on a sesame seed bun".

Anybody seen any counter ads by Burger King yet?

What the hell is this world coming to when kids are cited by the police for ordering food at a fast food joint in a "non-standard" way, as if they were disturbing the public? Unbelievable.

Glad I don't live there. I would be cited a billion times for being "disorderly" in public by field-testing new costumes...

If the McD's wasn't impressed with their actions, then ask them to stop. No police should have been involved.

Never been to Utah, but it looks like an outdoor activity paradise.

Check this article too. The 18yo was found not guilty, but apparently there was an F-bomb in the rap...

The kids are dorks but the retaurants employees probably went too far in getting their license number and having the police get involved.
You just tell them to move along if they don't want to order. If they continued to do the stupid rap song and blocked other patrons, then I guess they were creating a disturbance and could be cited. If thats what happened then I guess they were justified in what they did.
Teenagers are idiots. But they could do worse than just being annoying at a fast food place. I remember we did some stupid annoying things at the drive thru when we were young. You've seen adults go ballistic and ape $@#% violent when they don't get their lemonade or chicken nuggets on You Tube.
