I understand he was glad he didn’t get carjacked but dude probably went out and carjacked someone else some other time. A Big Mac isn’t going to change this man’s mentality.

maybe a big mac and a mcflurry would do

In the interview Lou tells it ain't like that.
He says the car jacker recognized him from doing community work and has a mini-breakdown where he says he doesn't have anything and is basically homeless and doesn't even have anything to eat. Lou tells him to meet him at McDonalds and he would buy him anything he wants to eat (just fearing for his own safety and buying time for his body guard to come back)
It's not like Lou was trying to change the world 1 bigmac at a time, he was just trying to distract the dude long enough until the bodyguard could come back.

Dude probably felt more motivated carjacking to see if he can meet more of his idols

A free car AND a free BigMac? Sounds like a deal to me!

Some kindness can go big ways some times.. gotta recognize that the justice system probably wouldn’t have put him back society either.

I grew up super poor. I sometimes get the feeling that when you can relate to a criminal you don’t take the crime too personally. Lots of us have been so close to the edge you wonder if you’ll have to start committing crimes to get by. It isn’t a “mentality” that makes a person more likely to commit crime. I don’t know anything about Williams’ background, but I wonder if Williams felt that way. I doubt he was trying to change the carjackers ways. He probably was literally just buying him a burger

In the interview he is buying him a burger and stalling for time for his bodyguard to get there. He isn't trying to do some change your life mission.

Him not having a big Mac also isn't changing anything.

Step 1: Don’t hurt me and steal my car.
Step 2: Eat
Step 3: Figure it out later

"Mentality" is an odd way to spell material circumstances.

I don’t think this is what happened, but most people steal out of desperation which someone with a lot of money could change semi long term for one other person at least.

I am guessing he asked the car jacker "why you out here doing this?"
The car jacker probably said something about tryna eat then he took him to McDonald's?
Lol pure speculation.
