Terrible Fight-Encouraging Mom Ordered to Parenting Class

Jeff Neumann · 05/26/11 04:15AM

You might remember terrible mom April Newcomb, who was caught on video coaching her 6-year-old daughter in a nasty fight with another teen down in Florida last year. She could be heard on the video yelling "don't fucking stop," "punch her in the fucking body," and other classy encouragements that are totally appropriate for a mother. Well, according to the Smoking Gun, she entered a no contest plea in court and was given 75 hours of community service and ordered to attend a one day parenting class. Wow. That'll surely teach April Newcomb a lesson.

Ukranian Politician Death-Grips Deputy on Parliament Floor

Max Read · 05/21/11 04:30PM

Presiding over a legislative session is hard, as Vice speaker of the Ukrainian parliament Adam Martynyuk can tell you. What do you do if some keeps bugging you and asking to speak, the way his deputy Oleg Lyashko was doing last week? As Martynyuk shows, sometimes a nice smooth death grip is the only thing that really communicates the procedural rules. [via Boing Boing]

Two Inadvisable Ways to Handle an Argument

Jeff Neumann · 05/14/11 04:45PM

Yesterday, a New York City hot dog vendor celebrated Friday the 13th—both the day and the horror film—by slashing up a rival vendor's face. Though "authentic," slashing your competitor isn't an effective marketing strategy in the long run.

Hamilton Nolan · 05/04/11 08:15AM

McDonald's Basher Had Brawled There Before

Maureen O'Connor · 04/25/11 11:31AM

Teonna Monae Brown—the Baltimore woman charged last week for a beating up a transgender McDonald's patron while a passive crowd made videos—may have been a repeat offender. The Smoking Gun reports that the 18-year-old had previously been arrested for punching a mother of two in the face, then beating her with an umbrella, then trying to rip out her hair, while friends attacked the lady's daughters. Just as ogres like to hide under bridges and terrorize passing billygoats, violent jerks apparently like to hang out at McDonald's and beat the snot out of strangers.

Epic Spring Break Brawl at a Burger King

Marisa Gladstone · 03/23/11 11:15AM

What is it with fast food joints and violence lately? When a couple of Spring-Breakers visited the Burger King in Panama City, all hell broke loose. Utensils and napkins were flung about, and a woman in a bikini jumps onto the counter and proceeds to bash an employee in the head with a jug of water. Someone exclaims, "This is the best spring break ever!" That is until they visited Burger King.

A Taco Joint Brawl, Taped from Two Angles

Max Read · 03/10/11 03:37AM

The nice thing about this particular videotaped fight—which took place, apparently, in a Tacos del Rio in Eastvale, Calif.—is that there were two different security cameras, meaning you can watch the action from two angles, like you have the Criterion Collection DVD of the Eastvale Tacos del Rio Fight. (Alas, it seems as though you can only see the small dog, curiously carried to the fight by one brawler and quickly and inelegantly dropped, from the first angle.)

We know they're out there, the crazed humans who rant about seeing doggy droppings left behind. This one takes action and the lazy dog owner pays for it in more ways than one.
