Officer Cassidy's fund

[Gorilla Unit 33]

i thought id pass this on to everyone, it was forwarded to me by a co-worker. Seriously something you might want to think about next time you want a donut or coffee...

"This was emailed by a member of the Upper Darby Police. I understand where she is coming from and whole-heartedly agree. If the local franchise didn't think of it, the Dunkin' Donuts Corporation should have!

Subject: Dunkin Donuts!!! Please read..
As all of you know, Philadelphia Police Officer Chuck Cassidy was shot in the head at a dunkin donuts on October 31, 2007. He was at the dunkin donuts for a routine stop to check in on them because they are a p lace prone to robbery.

As he pulled up he did not know that inside a thug, who had robbed the same dunkin donuts before and was waving a gun around, demanding money. As Officer Cassidy opened the door he was shot point blank in the head. He fell to the ground bleeding with a bullet wound to his head. The suspect ran from the dunkin donuts momentarily then returned to lean over Officer Cassidy's dying body and take his gun from him and then he ran off. Officer Cassidy passe d away the next day, November 1 around 9:30 am.

He leaves behind a wife and three children. The suspect was just caught in Florida and there was a re w ard offered to anyone with information leading to his arrest.


dunkin donuts declined to donate any money to the fund!

I think this is despicable and I would like to ask everyone to think twice before spending money at a dunkin donuts.

They should have been the first business to offer up money. Chickie's & Pete's and Finnegan's Wake were the first businesses in the city to come up with first $50,000 for the reward (it wound up being $150,000). I thin k they should be commended and
I think dunkin donuts should be put out of business!!!


Thanks for listening to my rant, I just feel very strongly about this and want as many people as possible to know.

Please pass this info along to everyone you know and pray for Officer Cassidy's family. Thanks!!!"

i wish i new this sooner i wouldn't be buying from them for the last couple weeks.i say ban the mother f*****s.i'll go to wawa from know on.

to be fair.. didn't the franchise that he was shot at have a huge fundraiser for his family?

you can't really expect a corporation to go out of their way to help his family, as messed up as that is. think of all other places police officers have been shot at, stores, banks, gas stations, do you really think those corporations send a bunch of money to the family?

also, if this was just a good samaratin that walked in trying to help and was shot to you think it would be this blown out? nope.

chickey & pete anhd finnigans wake are both local places that were impacted a lot more, dunken donuts isn't a locally owned company so you can't really expect the executives to be impacted the same way
