- On 18th July 1984, unemployed welder James Huberty entered the San Ysidro branch of McDonalds armed with three firearms and one thing on his mind - to kill as many people as he could before the police could stop him. This terrible event became known as the McDonald's Massacre. At the time it was the worst single mass shooting in American history.

That man should have been in jail long before he had the chance to go on a shooting spree. Death threats, killing animals, and beating children, and he still walked around free as a bird. Disgusting.
Exactly, These kind of people are allowed to get away with all this bad behavior and all of these criminal offenses but they still don't lock him up. Then when they do finally lock him up for one of these offenses they release him back on the streets after a few months or a few years which is disgusting and appalling.
The lawyers should be ashamed of themselves. Killing animals is one of the first signs of a serial killer.
White male privilege
@@AlonsoRules
he wasn't a serial killer .. he was a mass murderer .. two specific distinctions as classified by criminal law and both types of offenders operate very differently .. maybe animal killing is an indication of a potential mass murderer as well
This is exactly the sort of person fire arms SHOULD NOT be around. People like this who have a history of mental health problems and violence should not be allowed to own fire arms. He shot is dog in front of someone ffs, thats a tell tale sign of a psycho.
I was blown away hearing that McDonalds renovated and reopened the restaurant in 48 hours. First- it was a crime scene. Are you telling me the scene was released that fast? And second- who thought that was a good idea?!
As a locomotive electrician, I had to get black box recordings after an accident.. we literally scraped the bodies off the front and the train is back on its way..business is business.
🙏Back then I can believe🤔but nowadays more thorough investigation I would hope would go into a crime scene especially a massacre 🙄
I nor any of my family trade with mcdonalds to this day
I love the fish 🐠 fillet. I usually eat three of them.
@@stilldajoker What does this have to do with anything, tho? 0 that I see. I don't normally eat there.
I was 18 years old when this happened in 84. I can clearly remember how disturbing this shooting was to me.
Same 👍Just graduated high school....84 as a whole was some year and with the exception of this tragic event alot great memories
Me too. And I worked at McDonald's. I was traumatized
Same here. I'll never ever forget how shocking and horrific this was.
@@cessnaverdi very much.
Not speaking for me but my dad. I asked him if he remembered anything about it, and he said that it created some sort of fear of entering a McDonalds and that it was a disturbing act
We lived in the San Diego area when this happened. I had just given birth to my first baby 10 days before. When I heard about this I wept for days and held my baby closer. I was terrified to go into fast food places especially McDonalds for months after. Still breaks my heart.
Ya so was I, my family avoided McDonald's for over a year after this happened
Your newborn baby is now 39 years old

My grandma lost her soul mate that day.. till this day she still celebrates his birthday
That’s absolutely heartbreaking..💔 Was your grandmother there with him when it happened? I can only imagine..
thats so sad
@@PiXie232 I absolutely hate people like you. First, you use an emoji in a disingenuous show of emotion. Then, you follow up by asking a ghoulish question.
I'm so sorry you're Grandmother had to go through such a horrible event.
My Bday is the 17th so I’ll never forget this either, terrible to say the least.
The 8 month old, that breaks my heart, that's something I could never understand how anyone could do
You'd understand if you weren't ignorant to the Devil's existence.
That happened in Vietnam all the time
He was a animal no that would insult animals beat his wife daughters shot women children indiscriminately
@@PurpleObscuration Yeah, U.S soldiers purposely shot 8-month-old babies all the time in Vietnam. We're sure.
The guy was so mentally gone, that's how. No sane person would do that no matter what wartime scenario.
As someone who migrated to the United States I feel like this country is often overlooked for not having any struggles like third world countries but the reality is that it takes a lot to live here and maintain mental stability. I've lived in this country almost as long as I've lived in my home country and man it really feels like a machinery.
As I like to call it, USA is the most highly functioning-dysfunctional country on Earth.
Not sure about other countries, but this country is lacking in decent community or family. People are more alone now than ever. I notice that the shooter's mom left as a kid and he had an injury making him lack confidence to make close friends...
That's why us Asians live with our parents until it's time to move out or stay with our parents forever
Unfortunately, you are right! Big business has bought & sold our souls right from under us!
I've been all over. And let me say I feel lucky to be a U.S. citizen. There is so much more to our country than california. C.A. has one of the highest living rates in the country. It is hard to live there an be able to feed your kids. On the East coast there are much more affordable places to live. And if we ever want to eliminate the things that divide us as a country we must make efforts to make friends. Make friends with your neighbors. Get to know your mail man etc. I think the divide is just ignorance. We dont know what we dont know. We can eliminate that by making just 1 friend of someone who doesn't look like you. They want to be friends but are all afraid of rejection. Church an community has all but been abandoned. When the time comes we will need these organizations to unite and help our neighbors. Who knows, one day we might be the neighbor who needs that help.
There is a documentary about this incident called "77 minutes". It's so good I'd never watch it again.
This… I couldn’t even finish it. I cried and felt sick.
The original news footage is horrifying, plus hearing what the people inside went through while this maniac was walking around shooting is awful. One of the worst days in San Diego, along with the PSA crash in 1978...
Sad if there only been a good guy with right to carry in side at the time,could've sent that demon to hell alot faster.
@@jeffkenyon483 Not sure. He would have taken out the "good guy" before tackling the rest.
If only mental health care was taken more seriously and more easily accessible there would be no need for either gunman
@@internetcensure5849 That's why concealed carry is better then open,you're not obviously a threat to the bad guy;you could be unlucky and be the first one attacked,but likely you won't be.
@@vampsarecool There is a lot about this. I never heard the misspelling detail. I heard years ago that it was put down as “non urgent” and that it could wait until Monday. This video details a man that seemed to not be a victim of the mental health system though. All the things leading up to it make it seem like he would not have been honest with a treatment facility. Even if he was he would have been held for probably less than a week and just said anything to get out. Other videos make the guy seem just quiet and actually seeking help. This shows a clearly abusive individual. He would probably need medication and inpatient for the rest of his life. He does not seem like the type to admit that though.
It’s very difficult to recapitulate & analyze tragedies & disasters without being either insensitive or incomplete. But your tone is respectful & your research is careful. Your channel is superb.
Thank you - glad you found me!

Wow, Capitulate and Recapitulate have two COMPLETELY different meanings; I was never familiar with the latter.
Agreed. Well said, also.
@@theravenseye9443
wondering why people react to one persons devastation with a weapon but seem comfortable with a number of people with weapons controlled by one person’s devastation
It’s all devastation 😢
Thank you for covering the stories 💐
Watched the footage of the aftermath years ago. Never again. It makes me sick how he gets a quick death, but the victims were taunted, frightend for their lives. That kid laying next to their bicycle has been forever burned into my memory.
The baby and parents laying there is what is forever stuck in my mind.
I remember this so well sadly. Was a few blocks away at my apartment in Chula Vista. I was working on my car when I noticed a ton of helicopters flying rapidly and the distant sounds of sirens.
Ran inside threw on the local news and found out what was going on. So incredibly sad.
If you lived in Chula Vista, you weren't living a few blocks from the location of this McDonald's. I have lots of family in the Chula Vista and San Ysidro area. This restaurant was much closer to the border right next to Interstate 5.
🤓
Hmm. A gunman who had 70+ minutes to do what he wanted because of inept police. Sounds a lot like Uvalde.
Yeah the press didn't hate on them for days on end. Wonder what his kids are doing right now? Probably changed their names and hide their dysfunction as well.
@@josephgriffin2388 why are you hating on his kids they didn't ask for their father to be a mass shooter
You sound like you would go rushing inside to shoot the gunman down. You have no idea what you're talking about. This isn't modernwarfare kid. Police have orders. They don't recklessly go diving to dangerous situations like this. It's so easy to talk about it but If you were in the same situation, I bet you wouldn't move.
Cell phones weren't a thing back then, so the only way folks could contact the cops was on a land-line. So the only phone was in the manager's office, or outside on a nearby pay phone.
Columbine
I remember this tragedy. I was an older kid and it just seemed so sad and senseless. May the victims RIP and that those wounded have/are healing.
our country is an absolute joke, corporate greed over easy access to mental healthcare. this would have never happened if our healthcare system wasn't an absolute circus.
We’re more desensitised to this now
I too remember it well and it was a huge deal and scared the hell out of me at the time. Now it would just be another day in the good old USA.
I remember this day, I was 11 years old living in National City and my mom got word my aunt had just left that McDonalds minutes before the incident. Unfortunately, gun violence is now common. I currently live in Texas and whenever I hear of a mass shooting McDonals is the first thing that comes to my mind😩
Living in Texas you might also think of the Luby’s mass shooting in Austin. I lived there at the time, and I had been to that Luby’s, but I wasn’t a frequent patron. “Just another” gun tragedy. 😢
Why did you move to tecksis?
You're 48 years old
@@RobinMayhall and Whitman, of course. that guy had to have something wrong upstairs to do what he did. read 'Sniper in the Tower'. from the 90's.
This was the first time I had heard of a mass shooting. I was just a kid. Hard to believe its been almost 40 years since. It's just gotten worse. Sad.
It’s almost like life was better in the 80s
@@PibrochPonder
1,000 times better. This was considered a truly shocking crime & people were blown away at it's horror. Now it's routine- like, ok - how many bodies did they leave this time?
It’s terrible hearing about any mass murder at any time.
Unfortunately we are all young children when we learn of these things whether they be these instances or wars. The loss of innocent lives is something we all hear of and everyone remembers the first time you tried to comprehend the horror 😢
@@PibrochPonder Trust me, life was a LOT BETTER and less complicated and corrupt like it is now!
@@user-ur4wo3tw3ino it wasn’t. You just didn’t have the internet.
I was feeling sorry for the wife, thinking she was a victim too, until I found out about her sueing :/ I hope the daughters are okay. First time I've heard of this, how awful! RIP to those poor people.
The woman was a piece of work, and almost as shitty as her husband. Cancer took care of her a few years back.
Knowing that her husband had mental health issues she should have immediately called the police as soon as he walked out the door. From what I've heard of her it seems she was an incredibly stupid individual.
Pretty obvious that she got approached by a lawyer who figured that he'd have a shot (pun intended) at getting a 30% fee of a payout.
There's always a vulture with a financial motive whispering sweet nothings in your ear... So gross... Glad she lost...
Dude, you should have notice that since he makes a remark "I am going hunting humans"
And it sounds like she's like. "Oh, ok" NO attempts to stop him, or neither "I will call the police".
I was supposed to be there that day on a service call but, due to a prior personal commitment, it was postponed to the next day. It still gives me chills thinking about it.
No kidding? You literally dodged a bullet that day sir. God bless. The Lord had plans for you in life. 😄🕔
I WAS AT THIS MCDONALD'S 2 X THE SUNDAY BEFORE, AS TOOK A TRIP TO MEXICO AND STOPPED OFF BOTH BEFORE AND AFTER!! SO 3 DAYS EARLIER WE COULD HAVE BEEN SHOT!!
suuuure buddy
NOBODY BELIEVES YOU !🤪
Talk about a close call
you know you're old when you can remember these kind of things being rare.
I was in jail with an inmate who suffered from severe PTSD. He said he was a survivor from the McFonalds masacre and went into great detail about the masacre.
I remember when this happened. I also remember in 1966 when Charles
Whitman killed 14 people and wounded 31 people at the University of Texas. Until McDonald's, that had been the worst mass shooting. Now it seems like they happen every month or so.
That was the FIRST real mass shooting in America. Look how it's evolved.
Ah the good old days when less than 20 died and mass shootings only happened once a decade or so.
@@chatteyj almost like the internet and social media has degraded mental health , but im sure thats a coincidence
You mean 15 people killed and 31 people injured
@@maxjudge2318lmao we’ve all been shoved into one society , used to be able to shut the tv off now we can’t
The fact that McDonalds quickly repaired the damage and was going to reopen sickens me! I'm glad I quit eating there 20 years ago. This whole thing brought tears to my eyes.... what IF Huberty got that phone call and received help? It could have been another story, but then again maybe not. He had some demons to deal with and probably not an easy task. RIP to all who suffered a horrible death.
You're not missing anything.
Sickens me also, but are you really that suprised at the insensitivity of corporate America, it takes a backlash for companies to the right thing, if anything at all, priorities you know$$$$$$$$$$🙏🤔😢

I was actually shocked to find that video footage of the crime scene still containing the bodies of the victims had been posted on youtube a while back. The most disturbing images was the dead baby resting by her dead mother and the bodies of a family underneath a table. They were apparently trying to hide from the shooter.

@@telesniper2 nor did they have a camera in the libarary where the shooters killed themselves and yet I saw pictures of it in a video on TH-cam. There’s such a thing as crime scene photos and witnesses who take pictures that can be compiled into a video that a few years ago might have stayed up on TH-cam a bit. Not that unbelievable, don’t know why some people gotta question every little thing.
My mom was 14 with my grandma and uncle leaving the drive thru 10 mins before it happened. When my mom was crossing the border to Tijuana is when she heard the news breaking over the radio and ever since then things like this freaks my mom out. To think if my mom, grandma and uncle were there the moment it happened I wouldn't be here. Bless all the lives who have been affected. ❤
My god, the guy was an unambiguous roadmap to murder. I keep thinking 'how did no one recognize the warning signs?' but that's because people weren't afraid of this back then. Heartbreaking but tasteful in delivery, thank you.
Hi Votrae, we wondered whether the family had been worried by his behavior, but the crime was unimaginable. Thanks for the feedback.
Yeah! Normally it's some quiet, reserved person and "he was always so polite" and not "he spent his days aiming guns at people and telling everyone he was going to massacre everyone"
His Second Amendment rights were more important than the fact he was a nut case...it is still that way...
For every Hubert, there are ten more just like him, except that they don’t commit mass murder. There’s this idea that it’s easy to know who is going to do what, buts that’s simply not true.
@@sbchelldiver That's ridiculous and you know it. Literally no one, not even the most ardent 2nd Amendment supporter is saying any such thing. It's idiots like you who prevent us from having an intelligent conversation about this issue. The 2 issues are not mutually exclusive.
I was a teenager when this happened, and the entire country was in shock. What is so sad is today in the year 2022, this sort of thing happens all the time, and we've become numb about it. What is wrong with some of my fellow Americans that we allowed this to happen? We always had guns in this country, but back then it was still rare for a mass killing to happen. What happened to us as a people for this to be a normal occurrence?
You are asking the right questions, but unfortunately they may not be so easy to answer. Maybe there is a greater sense of nihilism now versus decades ago. Maybe this mass shooting and especially the Columbine massacre in 1999 toppled a cultural barrier that was in place earlier.
It isn’t just “some” Americans….they are all just apathetic sheep 🐑, that don’t act until it happens to their family.
The breakdown of culture into segmented factions, which makes people look at others as a warring tribe.
@@Eternal_Tech It's not "nihlism". It's gun lobbyists and the dumbasses who still buy the "good guy with a gun" nonsense.
Absolute baloney. Until 1968, it was legal to buy, sell and trade fully automatic belt fed machine guns and to buy guns in general through mail order catalogues for delivery directly to home addresses without the need for any form of background check for either, and gun shops in general could be run by literally anybody with no federal requirement for licensing or record keeping except for their own personal convenience. Even convicted felons already known to have histories of violence weren't banned from owning guns.
Despite a criminal potentially having access to levels of firepower even the national guard would have difficulty matching back in those days, mass shootings simply didn't exist back then on the scale or frequency as they do today. Per the video, it's the fact that more people have unaddressed mental issues like the person in the video, and who decided to take it out on the innocent; I can't say what or why these types of people seem to be perpetrating these acts and I suspect it's a multifaceted issue but to claim it's exclusively because of AR-15's is ignorance at best.
I remember as a 12 year old kid, visiting this McDonald's a week earlier, after a little league game, for chocolate shakes and hamburgers. Crazy when my parents told me this was the McDonald's where the tragedy took place. I was afraid to step in another McDonald's for a while.
that must forever haunt you
Omg! I remember when this happened! I was 14. No one ever really did that. So we were all so shocked and horrified. I remember my dad calling us into the living room and we all discussed it. We talked about survival techniques. Terrible.
I remember when that happened! I was just a teenager back then living in Union City, California. Love your vids, and i have much respect for your channel!
Thanks mate, appreciate it.
I was a teenager too, in New England. I remember it. Little did we know...

This event truly made headlines around the world. I remember hearing about it on the news in Germany and reading a detailed and graphic article in a German news magazine during the summer holidays and being utterly horrified. I think this was the first time I ever heard of mass shooting.
Wow. I didn't know it made headlines around the world. I was a teenager when it happened. I remember thinking, "Why? Why would anyone do this?". It was shocking.

Well, at least he got _one_ thing right.
School tragedies like Uvalde are an undeniable tragedy… but something about the McDonald’s Massacre turns my stomach tighter. The fact that entire families were killed while trying to just eat food… a time when having McDonald’s was the best thing a kid could have with their parents as a treat… all to be taken away by a single man. It’s horrible.
yknow i can handle a lot but this comment fucking got me
It is sad but remember this guy was a coward. May those families rest though. Certainly a tragedy is a tragedy no matter the case. We can only hope to do better.
Public places also. 😢
Crazy that they were just enjoying their lives, and all of it was ruined because one guy wasn’t able to get any mental help.
Poor bastards had McDonald's as their last meal. That's gotta be the worst part.
I distinctly remember this, as I was living in LA at the time, and it was basically local news. It seems to have ushered in the modern age of mass shootings, not that there weren't any prior, but just the shear magnitude of the slaughter. Your video on this sad topic was well done.
But it was the largest number of deaths by a mass shooter. Maybe that does make him the father of mass murder. What a SICK legacy for a very SICK person.
Yes, It did seem to have ushered it in. My family had lived in Chula Vista (10 miles away) before moving to Orange County. Some people still reference this shooting around here. Very tragic.
I remember when this happened four kids rode up on their bicycles unaware what was happening inside he shot them through the window also he had applied for a job there weeks before this happened and in the comments section of his application the manager had written “ Do Not Hire This Guy “ after he was interviewed
Isn't that illegal 🤔
@@josephsassone3753 Yes ... shooting kids IS illegal.

This video was well put together. Thank you.
I lived in San Diego at that time, I was 24 years old and remember watching the coverage on the news live. It was horrifying! Little did we know that mass shootings were destined to become a near weekly event in America. :-(
I can’t believe his wife got a victim payout from McD. If that was done before she sued, she and her lawyers probably tried to say it was an indication from McD of a level of responsibility for what her husband did. What about a level of responsibility on her part to notify the police when her husband said he was going to hunt humans? She didn’t have a legal responsibility, of course, but she had a moral one. She knew he was dangerous to others, she’d seen and heard him make threats to shoot people, she knew he was stockpiling guns for “imminent war” and she saw him armed when he left.
Her “responsibility” was a moral one, McDonalds was a legal one.
His wife looks mentally challenged or insane herself
Wait so let me see if I understand this. Your telling me this guy shoots up a McDonald’s kills ppl ends up dead and his wife gets paid? I don’t get. Why should the wife get anything? His victims should be paid not h or his wife wtf
@@taralynntorrescarreralopez1574 It’s unbelievable isn’t it? The families of those he murdered and the people he shot should’ve sued her. I would’ve sued her for her settlement amount.
The outcome would be much different today.

Thanks - that comment is appreciated!!
What's intriguing to me is how many people were in that McDonald's. Like damn, I haven't seen 30+ people in a McDonald's like ever.
Back before drive throughs, you actually had to sit in and eat! LOL
Thank you for this video AND this channel ..Please keep up the good work... Look forward to more new videos from you soon.
This and the massacre at Luby's in Killeen, TX by George Hennard were gut-wrenching
Oh God, yes, the one at Lubys... the daughter that lost both of her parents that day and all because she had left her concealed handgun in her car due to strict gun laws at the time, she became an advocate to change them after it happened. I can't even imagine the amount of pain and regret she lived through, knowing she was the only one who could've stopped him from killing people ESPECIALLY her own parents.
I know that it's a touchy subject and I'm not by any means a gun nut, but her story inspires me to take my concealed pistol with me everywhere... at times even places where it's "not allowed".
Not including governments buildings, though, that's a pretty big consequence if found out.
I only want the option to defend myself and others with lethal force Against lethal force

I never understood why his wife didn't call the police as soon as he left the house. The police could have been searching for his vehicle and possibly kept this from occurring.
Kudos to the SWAT sniper. He performed his job with excellence.
What a tragedy in so many ways.
She probably thought he was kidding around. When you are married to someone for years its hard to accept the other could do something like this, or the person could be insane.
Tbh, I disagree. Sure, any pro could shoot the guy but all that does is put him out of his misery. It was obviously life that this guy hated and having to endure decades more of it in prison knowing what a failure he was would have been an infinitely more fitting punishment than just letting him die painlessly and instantly. This is why I don't understand the death penalty. Half the people who are in prison for life try to kill themselves. Doesn't that tell you which is worse?
The police sniper imagined his own family being trapped in there and squeezed the trigger. Job done.
Exactly. Everyone failed.
Judging by the lawsuits the wife initiated, I think it’s pretty safe to say she was just as wacko as him. Probably just shrugged her shoulders after he made that hunting humans comment.
I don't think I've ever seen 48 people inside of a McDonald's at one time.
There's a McDonald's one block north of Knott's Berry farm, and on Friday nights, it easily gets 48 people or more at a time.
I recently watched a documentary on this on tubi. it was really graphic. It showed the police video footage of inside the McDonald's right after it happened. I cried. I had to turn away and stop watching it. When it showed the tiny babies body and I'm assuming his or her parents I felt nauseous. It was so sad. I was surprised they showed the bodies like that. And seeing the two young boys lying dead outside by their bikes was so heartbreaking.
The wife seems almost as evil as the murderer.
Exactlyy , cause of chemicals in the chicken nuggets?! Wtf . She is outside of her damn mind as well !! So pissed she got paid out by McDonalds too smh
They were definitely the same level of crazy, that’s for sure
She has a sort of Rose West look about I think.
The wife: god dammit, i was so close to winning

The Raven’s Eye is my new favorite YT channel. Tremendous content delivery and many unfamiliar stories.
I remember this story from my teens in Santa Barbara, CA. It was scary then and scary now learning of Huberty’s instability.
I was a 10 yr old in England and I remember reading about this massacre in a newspaper. The words in that newspaper have never left me at 48.
The main problem is that there aren't mandatory incarcerations for unstable people. Some people will need a stable home environment forever. That's a fact.
Reagan shoved all the loonies onto the streets. Google it.
There's 0 help for crazy people and nothing to FORCE drug addicts and alkies to get help. These are most of the homeless.
If you have kids, you KNOW nothing changes when there are no consequences. They're just like little kids. There needs to be 2 choices. One they ain't gonna like (mental health/drug treatment) and no free money or rent. No laziness any more.
Solve that problem immediately.
I know it works, and it's more effective than drug counseling training. That's the old school AA type treatment.
Nobody cares who you identify as or if you're gay or where you came from. I wasted many, many hours on that in CADC training.
Also, most of the counselors there of 100 people were all extremely fat. They ate the entire 4 hour class!
That's still an addict. And NO addict can tell another addict how to get sober/abstinent (sp?)!
People who weren't a drunk or an addict can't do much to help one that is. Period. They know nothing about it.
They tried that many years before AA came about in 1939. Didn't work ("The Doctor's Opinion", AA big book, 1939). So, it's just a way for the medical and psychological industry to scam money from people. In itself, that doesn't work.
The kid glove BS does nothing I can see. Very high relapse rate.
What James Huberty did on that day was beyond imaginable. It's a shame that so many others have topped him over the years.
Even tonight. 7 San Ysidros on the 4th of July. Why am I watching this shit?
Even worse that some sick people see topping the death count of the last shooting as some kind of achievement.

Great video - your script is extremely well written and you narrate excellently - well done
Found a new channel to binge watch! Keep up the great work homie.
Welcome aboard! We should have another video ready for Friday...
In '88 I got a job at a North San Diego McDonald's. I was astounded my the security measures there. Unlike any business I had worked for previously. Then I remembered how recently this tragedy had happened and how RARE mass shootings were back then.
Props to that sniper. He got a direct hit right above the heart and saved many
Heartbreaking and tragic !! It is beyond devastating listening to how the actual events unfolded.
These monsters almost always have near identical personalities and upbringing.
Most shooters are young, and he was on older side, at 41.
What has always baffled me about this is what the miss spelling of his name had to do with making a call back???
Yes. I thought the same thing.
I'd assume someone wrote his name down as Puberty instead of Huberty so they thought it was a prank. Just imagine walking in and your receptionist says you need to call "James Puberty".
I am going to guess that either the number was wrong or was not written and they had to use directory assistance /411 ? But since the name wasn't right , the operator could not connect the call. IDK
@@KittySofttpaws Even better if you announce yourself as Mike Hunt.
@@hyun808 to me that's probably what happened.
“Let’s sweep this little mess under the rug and get back to burgers!” -McDonalds
Abused his daughters, wife, threatened people, obsessed with shooting people, killed his own dog with a witness right there…I mean, how much of a criminal do you have to be for people to get the hint? This dude should’ve been removed from society years before this massacre…it’s a horrendous shame for the people lost and their families
watching this on the day of the uvalde massacre, heartbreaking that things like this happen. 😥
It’s heartbreaking nothing has been done to prevent them.
In 1977 William Cohen
walked into Neptune Moving Co and killed 7ppl including PO McCloud.
I was never the same and I was just his paperboy.
@@nunyanope4988 What do you mean, "nothing"? There's been lots of thoughts and prayers. Those seem to be working real well!
Agree, but the call for more gun-controls has just had a setback with the Supreme Courts ruling determining that people don't need to give a reason for carrying guns!
And cops still mucking things up.
He knew there was something wrong, that’s why he reached out to the mental health services but the incompetence of the receptionist and the system failed as public services often do. As did the police, driving to the wrong location.
We're humans - we make mistakes. That's not an excuse for what happened.
Doubtful anything would have stopped him.
@@bbmtge Agree friend but we would never know. Just like today MI no one cares help
@@aggie7756 wrong. Your a receptionist at a mental health facility. Understand they don't know him, but at least have enough respect to get right information. Too many times a mass killer either seeked help or authority were warned about them and nobody did anything. There are alot of people out there who need help
@@chazzx1018 What am I wrong about?
When my mom and dad sat my little brother and I down when we were young kids and told us of this tragedy, we were shocked. We asked questions like, "why would someone do that?" My parents told us they had no idea what would make someone shoot a bunch of people. But what they did say was, "do you remember going to McDonalds in San Diego?" Both of us remembered but when we were told it was the same McDonalds that someone shot and killed several people, we were shocked, even at a young age. It wasn't long after we were there when this happened.
We were there the day before…we were still in the motel in San Ysidro watching the massacre on tv…we absolutely couldn’t believe it was happening at the time.
Wow. I'm a San Diego native and have never heard of this before. Really glad I found your channel! Top notch stuff. Keep up the good work.
Stuff like this is why responsible law abiding citizens SHOULD be carrying guns
I remember it being broadcast on the news. After this, the number of mass shootings increased by over 3-fold. Just 2 years later, a crazed postal worker killed 14 of his co-workers at the office before killing himself.
You just up your odds of being first victim
Maybe you should spend less time on instagram
@@deoglemnaco7025 if you're talking to me, I don't use Instagram.
I love your videos, dude! Certain you'll be at tens of thousands of subs before long
If that ever happens the beers are on me!!!!
@@theravenseye9443 beers on you! Passed the 11k sub mark. Grats! :)
I was at this McDonald's drive thru the day, a couple hours before this happened. My family lived in nearby Imperial Beach, just north of San Ysidro. On this day, I put my toddler in his car seat and drove to McDonalds for lunch. I ordered lunch and then parked in the McDonald's parking lot to eat. Later that evening, I was shocked, absolutely dumbfounded, to learn of this shooting. I was also jolted by the realization that we'd just been there maybe 2 hours before the shooting. The events of that visit to McDonalds are etched in my mind. My toddler is now 43. yet I still can see him in his car seat, with a French fry dangling out of his mouth. He called them "frow fries". Part of the shock was that this was pretty much the first mass shooting in the US.
I can’t believe I’ve never heard of this before. I have no words…..
Media only shows the general public what they want you to know.
Same here 👍🏾 never heard of this Evil horrible act 😒
I remember this like yesterday. I had just turned 12. We had a serial killer living in the neighborhood in 81-82 here in Northwest Tampa ("David Earl Snyder") A bunch of our friends used to go to the local Mcdonalds and pitch in for a tray of fries right up the street from where we lived. After this happened our parents told us not to go there anymore. One of the girls "the guy" killed was found in a field behind the same Mcdonalds in 82. That was a scary time. I think this is where the idea for the movie Falling down came from.
@@standorfall1584 Exactly! It actually started way before that, but i think this one kickstarted one hell of a wave in these types of shootings.
just subbed to your channel. very well done work. I was in class in grade school when this happened, living in St. Louis, but my mom had the tv on when I got home and it was breaking national news. horrific. just downright evil what he did.
Growing up in San Diego, I rememeber this and the PSA airline crash very vividly.
I really love the work you do on these videos and the respect you give to the victims and families. I would love to see you do one on the Luby’s Shooting in Killeen Texas
When seconds count, Police are minutes away
With US police, they are hours away, even when on site, waiting for the SWAT.🤣
Depends on where you are. Make sure you're in a rich area first. Then, half the police force will show up.
and in the socialist Republic of Kalifornia, good citizens with a gun to protect themselves are non-existent.
70 minutes away at uvalde.
The first payment went his wife?! Then she tried blaming EVERYBODY else. F HER!
Damn, its amazing that the resturant re-opened 2 days later. And apparently there's a film showing the gruesome crime scene. Not anything I plan on watching. Unreal.
yeah, i definitely recommend the film but i think the walk show is bloody terrifying, it’s so unreal. i just learned abt this a couple months ago but it startled the hell out of me.
A neighbor of mine was one of the children shot that survived. She had a huge scar from her chest to her neck. Scars and all she still absolutely beautiful
This is my new favorite channel, I'm binging your content rn 🤩
Glad you found me Daniela. Cheers!
Maybe you shouldn't be so cheery about it.
There is a “documentary” style video of the interior of this McDonalds immediately following the shootings. All of the victims are shown in graphic detail, lying exactly where they were shot. Absolutely the stuff nightmares are made of.
That's a video I'll make sure I won't watch.
You better believe it. I’ve seen it.
@@anthonyviteri5037 Both your and RJs descriptions are enough for me to miss that video.
Where is it? I lost a high school friend in that massacre.
@@Mark-of2xd San Ysidro California.
My aunt and uncle lived about a block away from there . The use to eat there some time's. My uncle said they eat there that day and left two hours before the shooting. What a sad day. Bliss those souls.
I literally live a few minutes away from the memorial piece down by San Ysidro. I live here for almost 12 years and only learned about last year. Such a horrible thing to have happened
If his name was the only one misspelled, then how he did not get the call?
yeah that doesnt make sense. they would have had to misspell the number not the name?
Bingo
You would think that the receptionist would also take his telephone number, but is it possible that she did not? If she did not record his telephone number, and had also misspelled his name, then his telephone number would not be able to be looked up.
Or, the mental health center is trying to pin the blame on a simple clerical mistake, versus gross negligence and indifference, which is more likely.
I REMEMBER THIS HAPPENING I FELT SORRY FOR THE PEOPLE WHO LOST LOVED ONES THE POLICE SNIPERS TOOK HIM OUT WITH ONE SHOT
This channel needs more subscribers. And more videos. Thanks for the time and effort My Brother.
As a teen, went to San Diego with church group. The people living there recommended this McDonald's. We went to pick up the food but we saw it was packed with cars and full of people inside, mostly teenagers and with music playing. They said do not worry it is always busy and everyone likes the manager. They were very professional and our large order was done quickly, it was impressive. A year later the shootout happened and think it is now a park.
Can't wait to say "been here before 1k subs" when you hit 100k. Great content
0 flies can be heard in 4min vid online
Psyop
Thanks! You are here before 500 subs! The next goal for us is 1000 subs.
He's 1/4 done
I remember when this happened, living in California at the time. I was stuck to the TV watching it live, I had never heard of something like this happening, especially at a McDonald's of all places. They kept showing the boy laying outside by his bike, it was all so unbelievable how something like this could of happened. That was the first time I'd seen n heard of a massacre in the U.S., I was in my late 20's. God bless their souls. 🙏
I was 13. I dont think I was shocked but more intrigued. It lead me to looking up and reading up on serial killers and mass murderers. The psychological aspect of trying to understand this all fascinated me.
Upon hearing that not only was his wife compensated but then unmorally and selfishly sued for more money makes me think she was the reason, drove him crazy!
She should’ve been locked up for not calling the police She’s an idiot a complete moron
Sorry to say the most shocking thing is that 30k in the early 80’s was the equivalent of 140k today
I was a young cop on patrol in Louisiana when the news came over my am radio. I remember thinking, just one customer with one gun possessing basic skills could have taken out this bastard and saved most if not everyone in that restaurant.
I grew up very close to that McDonald's. I was 9 when that happened.
Great job. I'm addicted to your channel. Do you have any coverage of Atlanta Missing & Murdered Children in 1970s???
THANK YOU FOR SHARING,
I remember watching this on the news as a 10 year old kid living in Burbank, CA. Seeing that kids my age gunned down was absolute morbid and terrorizing to me. I may of even had the same bike. I went to McDonalds down the street every weekend with my friends and just would always think "That could be us" so I never went back unless it was in the drive through with my Mom. Even then I would duck down in the passenger seat.
Dud I can't believe you only have 600 subs that's some bs you Derserve way more you will pop off soon keep up that good work
Thanks mate - I keep waiting for that day for TH-cam to start promoting the channel a bit......just gotta be patient I guess.!!
Yeah whuts up with that dud?
I'd say this guy is anything but a "dud"
@@aspensulphate I ment dude lol
The crime scene video is UNBELIEVABLY graphic. It's here on utube. There's a documentary called 77 MINUTES MCDONALD'S MASSACRE. It's shown in there. It's the bodies of the victims where they lay. That kind of video is never released. I'm a former deputy sheriff. I've seen that kind of footage many times. Never available to the public, though.
The boys on the bicycles were friends of my sons. They had been to my house many times. It’s still heartbreaking. He told his wife he was going people hunting when he left their house that day.
In 1984 it was newsworthy enough to be remembered 37 years later. In 2022 it’s just Tuesday.
Yeah because the mainstream media never talks about shootings 😒 it's not like they aren't constantly throwing these in our face 24/7. The only difference is back then they blamed the individual not the weapon. They even call gang violence gun violence.
I've lived in San Ysidro for over 30 yrs. There's a small community college built on the site. The monument sits between the front of the school and sidewalk. It's composed of muliple cubes of different heights that are meant to represent the ages of the victims from oldest (tallest) to youngest (shortest). Also, the pic monument shows one of the survivors (wearing sunglasses). I think he's a teacher. Another survivor became a local cop.
EDIT: I was wrong. The man is actually the elder brother of one of the three little boys shot outside of the restaurant. Possibly the one with the gold bike.

It's a small satellite campus. I taught one semester at that site. Really, really disliked pulling into that parking lot. Had the strangest student interactions imaginable.
@@patrickbrowder6857 How so?
I was a new sailor in the U.S. Navy in 1984 and I had a strange dream about a shooting near or around a restaurant that I could not identify in the dream six weeks before this incident occurred . When I saw this on TV , I got the chills !!
My older sister told me this story about a massive shooting at McDonald’s that happened 30mins after our family ( Our Mom, Dad, & our siblings) just ate there and left going to Magic Mountain, Universal Studios, Wax Works, Knotts Berry Farm, etc.
There is a documentary about this horror. Watched it a few years back. Very difficult to watch. Surprised more people are not aware of this incident. RIP the victims.
I remember it all too well; I, at the time, was going my own trial. My mother had end-stage cancer/ gastrointestinal. She would die two months later. But I felt for all those innocent lives lost to that evil jackass; may he rot in hell forever. Also, I can't believe that his wife would get any money from that tragedy. She wasn't supposed to be entitled to anything. Someone sure goofed up.
When we were stationed in San Diego in 1987, we saw the site and it felt so eerie deep in the soul😢
My father in law worked for Golden State Foods , had delivered that location many times & helped dismantle the shot up equipment. Said you could feel the anguish as he walked in that store, a heavy burden, but shared the story soon after.
