Chick-Fil-A is known for its top-quality customer service, and for one brave employee, this service went above and beyond taking orders for America’s favorite fast-food chicken.
On Wednesday, 43-year-old William Branch allegedly attempted to carjack a mother holding a baby in the parking lot of a Chick-Fil-A in Fort Walton Beach, Florida. The mother screamed as Branch grabbed her keys and attempted to enter her vehicle.


One Chick-Fil-A employee, Mykel Gordon, saw the incident and took action. Gordon rushed to the vehicle and tackled the man to prevent him from taking the woman’s car. According to the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office, Branch punched Gordon in the face during a scuffle. However, Gordon was able to bring Branch into a headlock until authorities arrived.

Again, evil can only prevail when the good do nothing. This is what is needed worldwide. The good have to stand up to the evil that is now spreading like a virus. It is only a few—the Global Cabal—who are deciding for the many. The cabal truly is evil and has proven itself such by its attacks on the public masses. If names like Schwab, Gates, Soros come to mind, they should. For good to triumph over evil will require the head of the snake to be crushed.
Wow !! There are still a few brave individuals that dare to do the right thing and get involved when their help was needed.
ChickFilA is an awesome company that employs awesome people.
