LA had to pass a law to try to keep people from attacking Popeye's workers

Attacking a fast-food worker in Louisiana is a serious crime. Under the state’s Behind the Counter Protection Act, offenders who target customer-facing employees face significantly enhanced criminal penalties.
Specific penalties depend on the nature of the attack:
Simple Assault: Attempting or threatening to commit violence without making physical contact. Punishable by up to 6 months in jail and a $1,000 fine
Simple Battery: The intentional use of force or violence against an employee (e.g., throwing items, shoving, or striking). Punishable by up to 2 years in prison and a $2,000 fine.
This law will be called racist in a few years when 90%+ of the people arrested for it are minorities
Jeff Landry did take it as an opportunity to copy Trump's viral McDonald's shift

Hopefully Texas passes something soon around these stupid fricking “teen takeovers”.

These teens just need community spaces. Ion know where they’re supposed to go

Jesus, not every job is a hero that needs special protection.
Just make regular assault work

Laws are just suggestions to judges and DAs with an agenda.

If Norwegians could control themselves these laws would not be needed

I would have preferred they called it the 3pc spicy protection act.

Should be the 20 Minutes For The Spicy Act

I am concerned by the "up to"... it needs to be "a minimum of"
Posted on 6/17/26 at 7:30 pm to stout
Like most laws against this type of behavior, there isn't a minimum, so it's mostly pointless, I would think.

Making this flavor of simple battery a felony isn’t pointless at all, as it gives the prosecutor a bigger stick. On the other hand, mandatory minimums are generally pointless, as there are infinite ways to work around them. They are more of a nuisance than anything, just having to keep track of them.

More laws that local DA's won't enforce.

The change to simple assault is kind of whatever, but making a simple battery a felony is a fairly big deal. This is the text of the Act: LINK
Or how about just DONT fricking do it?

I’m all for this.
Build more jails.

I pinky promise to neither assault nor batter anyone behind a counter. You can rest easy

They should also pass a law to try to keep Popeye’s workers from attacking customers.

Four piece spicy used to be $3.99. The struggle is real.
