I mean honestly, it seems like a lot of you are hating this guy just for being a little weird/different. As far as I'm concerned there's no place for that sort of thinking in modern society.

I've searched the internet on this guy and from what I've read he uses that 'helping the disabled' line to basically further a lifelong hobby of his.

Yea...and if he wants to test it out he has plenty of space to test it out at home or at work if that´s what he does for a living...so if he goes to a McDonald´s cyborg´d like a douche, he deserves a kick in the gut.

Yep...as I said, he just wants to make a spectacle of himself.

I can't find it right now...but, does anyone remember that clip on TechTv with Leo Laporte, where they were talking about this guy who basically had all of these transistors and microchips implanted into his head to make him think faster? Even Laporte (a guy who loves technology) thought it was disgusting.

That should tell you something.

Sorry to reply so late but I would like to answer that.. Yes Mcdonald's gets alot of rude and weird customers... sometimes I hear employees have big mouths and yell or swear at the customer.. sometimes they don't get written up or fired because of it but laying hands on a customer is definitely a no no.. even escorting a customer out of the building for a device leaves a black eye to the corporation.. My managers preach to me telling me Customers are always first.. No matter how stupid he looked or what he had.. he was a customer and he should be treated as such

So this being on public news definitely will leave a few people out of a job..

All that is true...in the US.

This happened in France, so nothing will happen. This man made a fool of himself in a public place and was dealt with accordingly.

This guy is an attention and controversy seeking glutton.

It's akin to a person getting pissed for people staring when the person has piercings and tattoos all over their face.

You did it to yourself, suck it up.

Fair enough. I still don't understand the visceral hatred reaction so many seem to have against him. I thought we'd moved beyond hating people for being different or acting oddly. Being put off, or annoyed, or speaking your mind to someone is totally different in my book from outright physical anger and violence, which many have espoused in this thread.

Actually I wanna go a little further. Because this is almost intriguing to me. I DON'T follow the line of reasoning that's making everyone so mad at this guy. He's a weird guy who likes to tinker with technology. If it ends up helping someone eventually, great, if it doesn't who gives a fuck? Who is he hurting aside from himself? It's akin to being mad at someone for dressing poorly. What do you care? Why does it bother you so much? Let the guy do his thing. If it's a lifelong hobby of his doesn't he have the right to practice it?

Do you really want to live in a society where you get beat up by people who don't find you normal enough?

It's because he wasn't wearing the iEye...Apple's latest product.

Totally agree on this
