After the UnitedHealthcare CEO shooting suspect’s arrest at a McDonald’s in Altoona, people took it upon themselves to leave bad reviews for every McDonald’s in the city—with many calling out the “rat” problem.
For better or worse, Luigi Mangione, the suspect in the shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, has become an overnight folk hero.
And his legions of supporters are taking it super seriously—so much so that they are on the warpath against the Altoona, Pennsylvania, McDonald’s where the suspect was nabbed.
Mangione was picked up by law enforcement at the McDonald’s after a customer and employee recognized him while he was eating breakfast and called authorities.
And for many online, that meant retribution was in order, in the form of review-bombing the McDonald’s on Yelp and Google.

“This McDonald’s is officially the worst place on Earth.”
“I walked in for a McChicken. And what did I get? A front-row seat to a rat’s Olympic floor routine.”
Another reported that the food was as expected, but there was another major problem:
“The staff do have an issue with minding their own d*mn business tho.”
Of course on social media, the irreverent—or reprehensible, depending on your view—laughter about the Mangione story has intensified as the reviews have rolled in.
Eating at McDonald’s always has its consequences, but we can probably safely assume they’ve never been quite like this.
