Justice rains down upon him. This nine-minute video—which feels so much shorter than that—shows a kid as he’s being asked to leave the University of Connecticut’s Union Street Market. The manager says he brought an open container of beer into the eatery, which isn’t allowed. The kid, who’s probably named Chad or Luke or something, invokes the rights of America, which do not cover that. The manager asks for the kid’s age; the kid says he’s 19. This would be a good point for sweatpants man to cut his losses, but we’re still only about one minute in. The kid notices that he’s being filmed. “This is getting posted somewhere, and you’re gonna look like a ****in’ tool,” the kid says to the manager. The kid, who cannot pull off the socks-and-sandals look, shoves the manager and calls him a ***. The manager repeatedly removes himself from escalating the situation. Various people inside the Union Street Market—chefs, fellow students, possible friends—try to calm the kid down and get him outside before he gets in trouble. He rebuffs all attempts. This tyranny will not stand. Give him his ****in’ bacon jalapeño mac and cheese, man. At 5:08, a guy comes up and tries to pull the kid away. He sounds like he’s calling him Luke. Damn, I was right. A crowd gathers. The standoff continues until 6:15, when the kid pushes the manager one more time. A chef puts the kid in a full nelson and takes him down. The manager assists, and together, they pin him to the floor. A cop shows up a minute later. “Fuuuuck,” the kid says. “I am absolutely ****ed.” He’s extremely concerned about the location of his shoes. His shoes are right next to his head. His bacon jalapeño mac and cheese is nonexistent. The cop gets him on his feet. The kid tries to spit at the manager before the cop escorts him outside. The two disappear into the night. I tell you, that bacon jalapeño mac and cheese. It does things to a man.
What a douche. I've done things I regret but going to jail for dumb crap like this was never one of them.
Not his first time doing this. What an entitled little prick. http://coed.com/2015/10/06/luke-gatti-photos-mac-and-cheese-uconn-umass-arrest-pics/
That Mgr is a bigger man then me, because once that kid put his hands on me I would have knocked his a$$ out with one punch.
The cook applying the full nelson was just waiting for him to do something. Then when the kid tried to slide out, the cook switched to an arm bar, and finally mounted him. All those hours watching WWE finally paid off. Cook better get that employee of the month award.
So you're telling me the manager couldn't just give him some food to get him to leave? Everything revolved around some food. Just give him the damn food to calm him down and send him on his way. All the manager did was escalate things by confronting him. You can't treat a drunk guy like he's got common sense. He's not going to get it, at least not this kid. Once the manager realized he wasn't going to accept just leaving, he should have negotiated with him. He's lucky the kid didn't take a good swing at him or someone else. You also never know what he can have in his pockets.
The manager didnt escalate the situation at all. Instead of appeasing the aggressive & drunken idiot like you wanted him to do, he did what the right thing by asking him to leave. When the idiot was aggressive, the manager backed away and repeatedly told him to leave and called for campus security. Its seems easy & simple to say, he should have just given the brat what he demanded. But doing so would not only further encourage such behaviour in the future, it also doesnt necessarily mean the end of the situation. Can the manager really trust that drunken idiot to leave and cause no further problems after getting his way? I say good job to the manager, other workers and other students for their actions.
Did he leave? No. He stayed there, caused a scene, nearly got into a fight with the man, spit at him, stepped up to a woman, pushed another man, and he was taken down and held down by his neck. All kinds of things could have gone wrong, both to the kid and those around him. From our view, the manager's actions seem fine, but from the kid's? It's confrontational. The last thing you want is to piss off a drunk. you never know what they'll do. No, you can't be sure he'll leave, but like i said, if you already tried to shut him down and he didn't go for it, then try something else, don't just keep letting his anger build up, while the crowd gathers and it turns into a show. In the kid's eyes, he's basically being ridiculed. That's not going to end well.
