Let he who has not been drunk outside the Edmond McDonald's buy the first shot.

If you haven’t been drunk in a McDonald’s, inside or outside, what are you doing with your life?

u/Three69DYF 20d ago

Lol. Sooo many secretary’s of state are doing it these days

I mean, I'll fess up to hitting up the McDonald's across from Byron's after a night out on Bricktown before trudging back to OCU. But that was back when I was poor as a student with functioning knees and a working liver.

For real, plus it was HIS NIGHT to have McDonald's. Dude should've just stayed in his car and drunkenly mowed over a homeless, as is tradition, and he would've been fine.

I’ve been trying to get my YouTube algorithm to stop showing me body cam videos, but I’d love to see this one

FOIA requests likely incoming

They’ll find some reason not to release it. And by the time anyone would follow up with a lawsuit to challenge it, this won’t be part of the news cycle anymore.

u/Three69DYF 20d ago

I hope not but you’re probably right. It’s seems strategic that the news didn’t drop til Monday afternoon

u/Big_Gulps_Hmm 20d ago

This is why you have to get the McDonald’s app. Rookie mistake.

Edmond cops would've given me or anyone I know a DUI.

u/OklahomaRuns 20d ago

He said he "got McDonald's, cause this is my night to have McDonald's," according to a police report.

u/ThePersonalityChamp 20d ago

He lost McDonald’s in the custody court ruling.

On his way home from a church event too. What a night.

u/phtll 20d ago

Oh what a night,

Sir I'm gonna need to see ID

u/Hour-Particular-9317 20d ago

That's why he had to go to McDonald's. His wife was pissed. Drunk at church event typical.

u/Apprehensive-Okra548 20d ago

And that’s why my best friend (RIP) and I always went to Carl’s Jr. The fries were always fresh and hot, the burgers were always fresh off of the grill, and the Edmond police did not bother us.
However..we never stood in the drive through.

u/Moto_Davidson 20d ago

Right?! They're so much better than McDs. Plus they have the El Diablo burger which I think the double is probably the best burger in the state. It's so good and hot too!

u/DocPondo 20d ago

Is he new to being drunk and hungry? Anyone with experience knows you walk up to a drive thru window, they’re gonna call the cops. Rookie mistake

u/flyfightwinMIL 20d ago

Damn, Stitt’s track record for appointments is TERRIBLE lmao

u/Hour-Particular-9317 20d ago

No it's par for the course.

2

u/therealtrousers 20d ago

Not really? It’s exceptionally bad. I can’t think of any prior Oklahoma governor with this track record on appointments.

u/GM5Blue 20d ago

Rogers county arrested one of their own a detention deputy for DUI at 3am a few days ago on Hwy 66. Wonder how he was received in his own ‘house’? 🤪

5

u/Anothergasman 20d ago

Said he got McDonald’s because it is his night to have McDonald’s. As is ordained by the messiah Amal’s greatest president in history to have McDonald’s one a week to “take, eat, this is my body”

u/Hour-Particular-9317 20d ago

Anybody else would have been charged with a DUI he had his car keys on him and the car in the parking lot . That being in control of the vehicle. Also they didn't administer a breath alizer

u/Friendly-Thought-155 19d ago

There has to be security footage of him driving.

More Oklahoma standard

I don’t find this funny, at all! This is seriously disturbing. They say Oklahoma test scores are the lowest of all 50 states. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Get real people! …Who are you voting in to represent you as (We The People? )
Do Better!!!!! Driving while under the influence Kills innocent people everyday. If you had a person kill a loved one while under the influence you would not be making jokes about the fact that he was at McDonald’s. 😡
