Protests erupted at McDonald's headquarters in Chicago this week after a text exchange between the fast food giant's chief executive and Mayor Lori Lightfoot seemed to blame the parents of two children who were recently shot to death in the city.

Images shared to social media by the labor advocacy group Fight for 15 Chicago, which helped organize a protest on Wednesday, showed crowds of protestors descending on McDonald's headquarters. Many of those marching were children. Kempczinski acknowledged the text exchange in a note sent to McDonald's U.S. corporate employees, which was viewed by ABC News.
"But I have not walked in the shoes of Adam’s or Jaslyn’s family and so many others who are facing a very different reality," Kempczinski added."Not taking the time to think about this from their viewpoint was wrong, and lacked the empathy and compassion I feel for these families. This is a lesson that I will carry with me.
