A 27-year-old Kingaroy man sentenced to jail for the attempted armed robbery of the Kingaroy McDonald’s wrote a racist rant on Facebook about the restaurant just days before the incident.
The District Court was told on Monday that Benjamin Roy O’Hanlon Clarke, wearing a balaclava and armed with a knife, demanded money from a female worker at McDonald’s on December 9 last year, frightening customers and the employee.
Judge Julie Ryrie sentenced Clarke to four years jail with a parole eligibility date of February 9, 2017.
southburnett.com.au has learned that just days before the incident – on November 28 – Clarke wrote on Facebook (sic):
