Second Pranknet Member Busted
Texan, 19, facing felony raps in two states over hoaxes

As detailed in this criminal complaint, Markle, 19, convinced a McDonald's worker to set off the restaurant's fire suppression system, which released a liquid from overhead extinguishers. Markle then told the employee that the liquid contained a toxin and directed the worker to break the store's windows "for ventilation." Four windows were eventually smashed and the eatery incurred damages in excess of $5000, according to police. Please note: Markle did this OVER THE PHONE by posing as a Fire Marshal or something.. He did it again at a Wendy's in Louisiana.. With similar results. He just got sentenced to 5 years.

Now, Markle is undoubtedly an asshole and a gigantic douche for pulling stunts like this.. But what about the employees who actually did the damage? Why are they off the hook? I mean, they mindlessly obeyed an authority figure over the TELEPHONE, and started destroying property.. and that means they're clean and he's the only bad guy?

Am I the only one who sees a problem with this?
