Dear Miss Manners.....

Good thing he didn’t fart loudly in the perp’s general direction.

Finally, someone willing to step up to the lack of public manners in today’s society..........

[demshateGod]

Good. Should happen more.

[Jack Hydrazine]

and light it up!

Hmm South Carolina...

the events it seemed before I read the full article to have distinctly Floridian Aroma..

Sacre Bleu!

America demands Justice for the Fallen of Benghazi!

O stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their command.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

First of all, I’d be shocked if people DIDN’T belch in Taco Bell.

Second, he should have said “Excuse me” then farted and said “Excuse me again.”

[NonValueAdded]

Good thing he didn’t phart!

[Mastador1]

What number again was the right to not be offended?

[backwoods-engineer]

Ban chairs! Create belch-free zones! No child should be endangered by the presence of scary burps and chairs! /sarc

About 5%-10% of America (growing, I think) are just scumbags and psychopaths. Our right to keep and bear arms helps protect us from them.

York County, SC. This is where a cop shot an old guy who grabbed his cane after being stopped for expired tags.

what, the public belching?

[gaijin]

I think people see egregious cases of gangsta slouch-pants it should be 100% LEGAL to simply pull their pants down completely.

It’s insulting and has gone on far too long.

[DemforBush]

I’m suddenly reminded of a Calvin and Hobbes strip:

“Must be a barge coming through!”

“That sure tasted better coming up than it did going down!”

Mother: “3 strikes and you’re history, bucko.”

Calvin: “*um, excuse me*”

Tega Cay Taco Bell

This is a high-class joint.

[luvbach1]

Should have burped instead of belched.

[RoosterRedux]

Tega Cay? How is that pronounced in SC?

Is it Tee-guh Kay or Tee-guh Key?

[RoosterRedux]

The man then walked over to where the victim was sitting, picked up a chair and hit the victim on the left elbow with it, the report states

Left elbow? What a beast!
