Charlie, if you’re wondering about what the inside of the Toys-R-Us bunker looked like, why not have Roofman on the podcast and ask him yourself? Many (most?) prisoners are happy to talk about their experiences and he would be a good source to ask directly (even though prisoners sometimes exaggerate). You’re certainly big enough that he is unlikely to refuse. Food for thought.

DUDE! I remember watching this news LIVE. So here's why he went through the roof: he would cut a hole in the roof and get in the in-between space. He waited until the restaurant closed and they had taken all the money to the back. Then, with the store locked up, but before they put it in the safe, he would drop down and rob them. He often brought a bag of goodwill sweaters and passed them to the employees when he asked them to wait in the walk-in fridge. Many employees refused to identify him and spoke highly of him.

As a former Toys R Us employee that worked the bike section and someone who had to help tear down the store after it went under, I can confirm there is a decent amount of space behind the bike racks. He wouldn't have been doing any jumping jacks back there but he would have had about a 3 ft wide room to move around and stand in certain areas. I cant guarantee all stores were like this though. On a side note we had once found a little hideaway one of our back-of-house employees made for himself inside the storage bays by hollowing it out of boxes and building a wall of small boxes in front, it was complete with a couple baby mattresses and snacks too. It was found when that bay was scheduled for an audit but we never found out who it actually was.

[@christiansmith8529]

A place I worked at years ago had a secret storage room hidden inside a basement bathroom. Looking at it you would assume it was a small supply closet but when you opened it up it was a 20x20 room filled with a bunch of crap from the 80s including the drafts for the renovation.

The prison subculture basically makes rehabilitating offenders impossible, it’s pretty obvious who is going to be a recidivist and who isn’t.

@@Sniperboy5551 prison is a business, it encourages repeat offenders on purpose. Adam Hates Everything has a great video about this (plus he's still doing his thing lol). However, I feel like the 'm-muh tax dollars' argument is so worn out at this point, it's not like you're choosing what to do with it anyways. Why are people so quick to demonize fixing up our roads, rehabilitating our prisoners and taking care of our people when the military has to justify a budget in the 800 billion range with 40,000 dollar office furniture? If it were up to me, I wouldn't want my tax dollars spent on cushioning the behinds of pencil pushers and boot lickers. P.s: Prisoners lose a lot of fundamental rights. I think giving them proper living conditions isn't "pampering" when they're fundamentally below the average citizen. Keep in mind that prison budget also goes to training better staff and creating better facilities for THEM as well. Or at least it should... That's a whole 'nother topic tho.

[@RandomCommenter955]

​@@Sniperboy5551 except the system unfairly and disproportionately targets minorities and sentences them to worse and worse prison times for the same crimes as those who are white or especially rich. All crime is by far not equal. The punishments for crime are certainly not equal either, especially when it disproportionately targets women, minorities, and the less physically strong. Prison rape is unacceptable, but everyone just knows it happens in prisons. That's disgusting. It should've never been allowed to became a main stay of prisons.

[@sourceawry4035]

My 15 year old son turned me on to your channel, and he's the main reason I watch your videos. If your content sucked it wouldn't have worked, so... Charlie, you are literally helping generations stay relatable to each other. I don't mean to burden you with such a heavy responsibiity, but thanks, man. To show my appreciation, I'll offer an answer to your question: Why the roof? My career has been in service and hospitality, and I see the simple genius of choosing to drop in from the roof. A single McDonald's store may seem like a small, independent business, just selling happy meals in every town in America, but the corporate entity every store relies on to make it work is huge. It would not create the same reaction in a McDonald's for a dude to suddenly drop from the sky, like it would if he did it in your living room. To maintain a brand like this, there are always people coming an going who are separate from the usual staff who work the drive through, make the fries, and take payments. It would not be at all alarming to the workers at first, bc they are accustomed to extra people being there working on one system or providing promotional equipment support, which often involves the roof, banners, mcrib cutouts hanging from a string over the register, etc. If that makes sense? If you pay attention to stories about bank robberies, then you already know the odds are against getting away with it, but why? The most common way they get caught is that somebody calls 911 while the robbery is in progress. The whole strategy of rushing in to sieze the element of surprise, combined with the practical need to hide one's face from cameras jacks up the risk of regular people detecting something lawless is in progress. I mean, who else but a bank robber sprints out of the bank while yelling, then peels out of the parking lot to speed away from the scene? This guy managed his robberies in a calm, cool fashion, so he was able to get the money and get out without traumatizing the employees. They literally reported a pleasant event to the responding officers, lmao! The thing is, he could have stolen a LOT more money from a bank...maybe 20 years ago when banks actually had cash vaults, but bc they exist solely to handle money, they are also much more secure. Nobody non-chalantly descends from the sky down into a bank without somebody hitting the alarm, and same goes for currency exchanges, etc. However... A high volume store whose success depends on a time sensitive product made by inexperienced workers who are comfortable and accustomed to making it happen while surrounded by chaos and strangers, it is the perfect target for a highly organized and tactically trained criminal to hit. Why do I feel like standing up to clap for him? Weird. But wait, there's more... Think about what could go wrong for the side of law and order by putting this guy in prison! It's actually ironic in a franchise kind of way, if you think about it. We are living in a time where we are supposed to be the greatest, most wealthy country on the planet while, simultaneously, there are veterans sleeping under every bridge in America...partly due to the perversion of free market capitalism where public private partnerships are not called fascism. In that sense, McDonald's is the epitome of corporate abuse on the people, disguised as a restaurant chain. They have the power to make or break entire towns just by where they choose to source their potatoes, or make their paper products. Americans love them bc they are not aware the food is addictive, and Mickey D's has made billions serving billions of mcchickens world wide. So how do they celebrate their good fortune upon the magical people who dwell in the land of the free? Pink goo nuggets, factory farmed meat and poultry, underpaid staff, gmo russets, and an anti nutritional menu closely associated with obesity and questionable food stuff ingredients that may or may not also be used to make the foam found in yoga mats, without any regard for the safety of these ingredients when ingested by humans over the long term. Do you feel like a valued customer? Hmmmm. Something really needed to change, but what could be done? Trained by the least free market entity ever to have existed in world history, the US DoD, one man quietly slides down a rope from the ceiling. Jilted by a nation that taught him to make war on civilians in far away lands, where there are no drive thrus for anyone's convenience, and if there were, this guy would have blown them up...forgotten by the ghouls who sent him to war, he's not the type to just sit back and take it. So he targets the one brand that symbolizes the parasitizing heart of the matter, the golden arches of big mac territory. And what do they do to reward him? They lock him down in a secure facility filled solely with other men that all have balls as big as his, with nothing but time on their hands, and nothing to lose. Additionally, everything they can do to pass the time invlolves fitness, extreme competition, games of strategy, a deep understanding of human behavior, applied subversive psychology, where nobody ever regretted more literacy and learning new skills...and who are limited to weight lifting and fist fighting as a way to stay fit. Oh, the potential helplessness of doubling one's volume putting on lean muscle mass just to get through the day to day, in a highly combative environment of jungle law and dog eat dog, a jedi arrives to teach the master class of criminal thinking? This is where they chose to put THIS guy?!?! What could go wrong? My opinion is that Mr. Manchester is the canary in the coal mine, the one bad apple to spoil the barrel, the slave that can read. In other words, he now resides in a place of limitless opportunity to clone his criminal model and make it a franchise. I hope he is teaching his rooftop playbook in the prisons, where they keep all of our warriors, the only guys with enough balls to fight the power for the common man. The ironies just keep circling back if you understand that the system lets lawmakers profit from owning prisons, which should be a crime, and the people who own the prisons also hand down the convictions, and the convicts who fill them are there mostly due to addictions, but were willing to do whatever it took to feed them...addictions that is...bc brands like mcdonald's bought up all the competetion and under their arches consolidated all the opportunity in each separate region, leaving communities in poverty, hopelessness and without a vision. Getting rich from engineering their food to be addictive! Giving nothing back in terms of nutrition. So, the cities where there is a McDonald's are often crime ridden places, where to make ends meet everyone risks catching cases... just for the crime of being too broke to escape horrid conditions. If there is any justice in this universe under heaven, he'll devise a perfect plan for the guys he does his time with, so that when they make parole and get released back into society, and realize the only place that will hire convicted felons is the local mcdonald's? I have a dream that they will slang fries out the drive thru by day like employees of the month, and night by night, calmly and politely, doing no harm to the little guys, gut the local walmart for millions. Hip, hip, hooray! Robin Hood-Bonnie & Clyde-Manchester. This is a legend in the making, bc this is what the new great peasant uprising looks like on early 21st century earth.
