Police: Woman stabbed in head after fight over place in McDonald’s drive-thru line
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WREG) — A 29-year-old woman was charged after police say she stabbed another woman in the head over a place in a McDonald’s drive-thru line, but her family said she did it as an act of self-defense.
Cell phone video shows the moments leading up to the stabbing that sent victim Jasmine Burress to the hospital.
Burress told police it all started out as a fight between the two women that quickly escalated. That’s when the suspect, Asalene Branch, pulled out a knife and stabbed Burress in the head. The injury was non-critical, authorities said.
“If five people are jumping on you, what would you do?” the suspect’s mother, Kim Branch, said.
The video shows Branch and another woman, possibly Burress, getting into it. Branch is standing by her parked car, and in the video, she isn’t the first to get physical.
The affidavit claims the fight started in the drive-thru line, and Burress and Branch got into it over their place in line, but in the video it’s clear the two ladies are nowhere near the drive-thru line when things escalate.
“She don’t bother nobody,” Kim Branch said. “She don’t. She’s a good child. She was going to get her some coffee, and they started with her.”
The video shows more than one person attacking Branch, and even a man gets in on the action. The stabbing wasn’t caught on camera, but the mother said her daughter took a beating before resorting to pulling a knife.
“She was defending herself,” Kim Branch said. “Hopefully she’ll be okay.”
To get both sides of the story, WREG went to an address listed for Burress, who ended up with minor injuries from the stabbing, but no one answered the door.
Investigators said those on the scene were able to get the suspect’s vehicle information, which led them to Branch. When questioned by police, she reportedly admitted to having stabbed Burress with a knife.
She remains charged with aggravated assault.
Branch’s family said they shared the video that briefly surfaced on Facebook in hopes of clearing Branch’s name.

Indeed.
Note this is the OTHER Memphis. The heritage one. Wish we could restore it!
On occasion I like to go to the SF Zoo and watch the monkeys throw shit at each other.
This is much better. Thanks for posting.
Another proto-human chimp-out.
The data are even more depressing on the downside. An IQ in the 70-75 range, which many psychologists would label “borderline retarded,” implies a life that is guaranteed to be short of opportunities. Very few students in that range will absorb much of what elementary schools teach, and virtually none will graduate from high school; few will succeed in finding and keeping good jobs. None will be admitted into the armed forces (required by law to screen out the lowest ten percent of the distribution). The bad news is that a substantial minority — apparently more than one in five — of American blacks have IQs below 75. Around one in twenty whites are below 75.

dat’s raycist.
you hav no right pointin out da troof like dat.
dats not Jussified.
Things are quite often not “jussified.” Fabulous comeback.
And the biggest insult is to dis-respeck dem.
The sheboon’s name is “Asalene”. Like Vasaline for the ass. I’ve seen a baboon with a bright red ass. Needed some Asalene. Black people are hilarious, best when viewed from another continent.
I wish they would all just kill each other…fo realz.
I haven’t seen the footage, but if a person was indeed approached by 5 hostiles, using a weapon in self-defense does seem justifiable. But the woman who did the stabbing here is likely to face charges for assault with a deadly weapon or at least possession of a weapon. Not familiar with TN knife laws.
I’ve had my road rage moments, and in the heat of the moment, losing one’s temper is not difficult. But time has taught me that a few seconds’ worth of poor self-control can have years if not decades of regret. However much it may hurt the ego and wound the pride, I have way too much to lose now.
Why…..what….can’t they just use proper English? They either add words or omit them – ????? How did this get started?
Get started? STARTED? Beez U jokin’all up in dis piece!?? Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiii-t.
Someone got theyselvs dis respeckd
NHI
I wonder if a car would run on Asalene ?
A car wouldn’t even have enough clearance to run OVER Asalene
Sad – no one posted the X-Ray?
“The injury was non-critical.” Also non- detrimental. That is the marvellous benefit of 85 IQ/ SD 12. Heck, these folk are built to carry the blade in the brain same as the bone in the nose.
Good etymology of Asalene – note the possibility of a compound noun based on the sow’s painful experience birthing obese from conception. It’s a new sub speciality of OBgyNegroes.
ASA is Mum’s request for pain relief, followed by her mis-spelled request for lube (‘line , from Vaseline).
Apparently, like it or not, New York & Vermont have recently implemented a long term solution to such labour pains. Some compare it to GM – ‘Do you wish a new vehicle or the Parts Dept?’
