FIGHTING OVER FRIED CHICKEN

You don’t have to make this shit up. It’s there for all to see.

A simple order at a Publix grocery store in Florida led to a supermarket squabble between customers, which was caught on cell phone video,

The brawl started when shopper Raleigh Harris, 59, was “rude” and used racial slurs toward a deli worker while ordering a chicken wings dinner at a Temple Terrace location Sept. 16, a customer told WFLA.

When another deli worker told the customer to calm down, and customer Leon Lightbody confronted Harris, things only escalated.

Harris “got really outraged and told (the employee) to mind his f—— business and kinda threw the N-word in there a few times,” customer Jessica Jordan said.

“The guy that was ordering chicken was like running around the deli being chased by these other customers.”

A customer then captured the chaos that ensued: Harris going at it with other customers, as employees try to jump in and break up the battle. The video shows food tables pushed away or knocked to the ground as market melee ensues.

Lightbody, 25, was arrested for simple battery, police said. It’s unclear if Harris was also cuffed.
No one was injured in the fight, and Publix spokesman Brian West said in a statement the in-store violence “is not the norm.”

When verbal communication fails, there’s always violence to the rescue.

One bad ass gang-banger looking black dude walked by me one day and says—– Wa-sup—Nigga??
To be honest it took me a few seconds to decide if I should say (obvious response) what I thought of saying before I decided it might be best to say nothing at all.

They say an armed society is a polite society.

You’ll notice that no one was armed here.

Draw your own conclusions.

@Pb, go ahead and try, I’ll take pity on you and you’ll just wonder why you’re staring at the ceiling. 🙂 Unfortunately I’m too far from NYC and too allergic to Mordor to attend the one that’s coming up.

@Anon, thank god they weren’t armed, there would have been 30 shots fired and 3 innocents hit. At least it wasn’t NYPD either – that would have been 150 shots fired, 5 innocents hit and the perp nowhere to be found.

One thing I notice in all these You Tube videos, the majority of people punch like girls. When you see someone that knows how to throw a good punch– the fight is almost always over.

Why hasn’t anyone opened a Mammy’s Fried Chicken and Watermelon restaurant? That would be a winner in the ghettos.

Travelling? Go small town and rural. You will never, EVER run into this shit. What you will run into are beautiful villages, gorgeous country sides and friendly people.

Give it a try, folks. If you live in an urban area, decompress in rural America. You will see a totally different country and a totally different people.

Forgot to report my current location. Hart, Michigan. Went to see some huge sand dunes on Lake Michigan after arriving and then visited a lighthouse. Had lunch earlier at a picnic table with three good ole boys who schooled us on ice fishing and snowmobiling.

If you show rural folks an interest in what they do, work or play, you’re good. They will reciprocate quickly, and you’ll enjoy the conversation.

ASIG, good point on people not knowing how to fight, but throwing punches is a fool’s game anyway. Weapons are the only way to go, purpose made or improvised. If I can’t use a Glock, I’d rather hit someone with a 2L bottle of soda than with my fist, for so many reasons.

But then I haven’t been in a fight since my early teens, so what do I know.

Persnickety— I’m not claiming to be a fighter, but at my last house I had a fairly decent gym which included both a heavy bag and speed bag. I’ve spent enough time on both and have sufficient muscle memory to where if push came to shove I won’t be throwing girlie punches.
