I suspect the Hamburglar and Grimace were somehow involved. Hopefully Officer Big Mac will bring the guilty parties before Mayor McCheese.

Hahahahaha. If I knew how to give you reps I would. This made my morning. I'm sitting in court waiting to testify.

Reading the story, this happened in Philadelphia.
Breakfast Menu Causes Fight at McDonald's - Fox 2 News Headlines

Schools are ranked low, median income is ranked low, housing cost is ranked relatively high compared to (leaving little disposable budget for other things), population density is high, etc..

Here are the city stats:
Philadelphia, PA - USA.com™
Philadelphia, PA Income and Careers - USA.com™

Median household income is 30% below US national average and household income lags US average by 28%. Black incomes are particularly low compared against national averages.

Male and female labor force participation is below US national averages by a few percentage points. Interestingly, families in poverty in Philadelphia are slightly below national averages, so the income tends to be slightly better than poverty but many more people in that next higher rung above poverty than you see on average in the US.

Translation = lower income and less jobs than the rest of the US ...

The crime rate index is double the US average, 3174 to 1557. The 7 years of history available on this website shows the same trend for Philly. Murders, rapes, and robberies are disturbingly high compared to the national averages. Hate crimes are multiples higher than the US national average.
Philadelphia, PA Crime and Crime Rate - USA.com™

Population per square mile is miles higher in Philly than the national or state averages, suggesting more opportunities for conflict. A plurality (43%) of occupants are black, followed closely by whites and then distantly by hispanics. Educational outcomes are lower than national averages, but not exceedingly.
Philadelphia, PA Population and Races - USA.com™

According to divorce stats, Philly is in line with national averages. However, absentee fathers remains a huge problem even when marriages persist, and absentee fathers have been shown by studies to have profound affects on the family. To wit:

Father Facts

The National Fatherhood Initiative website provides research showing that:

-One of every three children in America (24 million) live in biological father-absent homes

-Studies show that father-child contact was associated with better socio-emotional and academic functioning (does the video look like people with good socio-emotional skills?)

-9 in 10 parents surveyed agreed that absentee fatherhood is a 'crisis'

-"Children in father-absent homes are almost four times more likely to be poor. In 2011, 12 percent of children in married-couple families were living in poverty, compared to 44 percent of children in mother-only families."

-Children born to single mothers show higher signs of aggressive behavior than those born into married families.

-Infant mortality rates are almost double for unmarried mothers than for married ones.

-Youths in father-absent homes have much higher rates of incarceration (IE aggressive or criminal type behaviors, such as the kind shown in the video).

-Family structure significantly predicts delinquency.

-Teen pregnancy and sexual activity rises in fatherless homes.

-Child abuse rises in fatherless homes. (Abuse studies show that this leads to increased levels of aggressive child behavior and incarceration later on, also).

-Drug and alcohol abuse is higher in homes without present fathers.

-Father involvement leads to more 'A' grades in school.


For those criticizing my post, it appears my 'stereotyping' was actually based on established facts and research already published and well known.

For those pointing out this can happen anywhere; I agree. However, the RATES OF OCCURRENCE of this type of behavior are statistically more likely to occur in areas of challenged economic status, poor education, and lack of in-home father figures. Therefore, my post was not stereotypical as much as it was based upon known research.

Your comment called to mind a prophetic rant Anthony Esolen published today:

Go visit a prison. Do it, all you say your hearts beat warmly for the poor. Prisoners are poor to the point of invisibility. Go there and ask them about their sexual histories and those of their families. Go find out what the Lonely Revolution has done to them. Well may you plead for cleaner cells and better food for prisoners, and more merciful punishment. Why do you not plead for cleaner lives and better nourishment for their souls when they are young, before the doors of the prison shut upon them? Who speaks for them?

Totes. This is really a class issue after all. Why aren't we sterilizing the poor yet? As Justice Holmes once famously said, "[t]hree generations of imbeciles is enough."

...but if we breed out the shallow end of the gene pool, who will we look down our noses at then?

There comes a time when the words of your father to never hit a woman has exception. If that fat hog would have hit me with a chair, she would have woke up in a hospital bed.

It is amazing how bad our society has become. A woman hits a man and the cops laugh. The man hits back (with claw marks on his face) and he goes to jail.

Im not a fan of violence. I believe most people can agree to not agree and be done with it. It is the uneducated and dregs of society who time and time again act out like in this video. People with nothing and nothing to lose.

I couldn't hear what the argument was over, but I'm sure it was important.

It's definitely not just inner city. I saw two redneck caucasian girls go at it in a Taco Bell in Muncie, IN about 8 years ago. Both dressed like they had a job involving a pole and a stage, but had figures that I think people would pay them to keep their clothes on.

Ah, the good old southside of Muncie, I presume.

I actually think there is a Taco Bell across the street from the gross strip club, Jokers Wild.

Yeah, I'm pretty chivalrous (by today's standards) but if any adult, male or female, is trying to seriously harm you??... Any man has a right to fight back/defend themselves. Doesn't necessarily mean you go Ray Rice on a woman, but whatever it takes to adequately defend yourself, everyone should have that right regardless of who is attacking them.

My brother goes to Ball State, and I think his buddies told me he passed at that Taco Bell one time.
