The fact that progressive policies enable lawlessness crises so bad that McDonald's is now carding people tells you all you need to know about how things are going in New York City.

Crime has gotten so bad that a Brooklyn McDonald’s is no longer allowing people under the age of 20 to enter without a parent.

According to the New York Post:

A crime-ridden Brooklyn McDonald’s is carding customers at the door and forbidding anyone under 20 to enter without a parent or proper ID — in what might be a first for the fast food goliath.

The restaurant, at Nostrand and Flatbush avenues took the drastic step last week, after a group of kids wearing ski masks swirled in after school and attacked a security guard, breaking a glass door, according to manager Amber Hussain.

Every day after school for the year she’s worked there, somewhere between 15 to 20 teenagers come in and “trash the store” — throwing ice at customers, snatching bags of foods from Uber drivers and smoking weed inside the restaurant, Hussain told The Post.

What is going on with teens these days? This used to be unheard of but now we see large groups of kids act out like a bunch of animals for no reason.

The McDonald’s — in the area nicknamed “the junction” — is infamous in the neighborhood. It’s been the scene of multiple shootings and stabbings over the years.

So far in 2025, there have been 29 calls to 911 there, according to the NYPD.

When is the city going to step in and start holding these teenagers accountable? It’s absurd they get a pass for their bad behavior solely because of their age when even toddlers know not to act like this.

Does the city expect these kids to just grow out of this behavior?

This is a perfect example of what happens when you condone crime, so much so that juveniles are emboldened to wreak havoc on private establishments.

Whatever social experiment the city was conducting needs to end, as it’s not working.

Only New York could make it so you need an ID to buy a cheeseburger but not to vote. And I don’t blame McDonald’s one bit.
