The wobbly video shows a group of adults mulling inside Chuck E. Cheese's restaurant in Susquehanna Twp. Suddenly it pans left and captures a fight breaking out.
The 22-second clip, uploaded Sunday to YouTube, is the latest example of what police describe as a disturbing and bizarre crime trend: escalating violence among adults at a place designed for children's birthday parties.
Susquehanna Township police have been called to the restaurant on Union Deposit Road 12 times in the past year for reports of disorderly conduct, assault and theft. Those calls have resulted in 13 arrests, including six women -- five adults and a juvenile -- charged with disorderly conduct in a Saturday-night brawl.
In 2007, police responded to the restaurant 18 times for similar offenses.
"It's madness, absolute madness," Susquehanna Twp. Police Chief Robert A. Martin said.
Martin said he believes much of the violence stems from ongoing disputes among people who bump into each other in the restaurant. "They see each other at Chuck E. Cheese, and before you know it an argument turns into something physical."

Whenever I went, I always seemed to have a splitting sinus headache.
“This is madness!” Chief Wiggum
“This .. is .. Chuckee Cheese!” Leonidas Sawyer
The title of the video is “Pregnant Ghetto fight”, which appears to be apt and would have made a memorable headline for this piece.
I AKS you if your surprised.
Years ago I took a Takeya for a ride. I recall bumping and grinding and a lot of noise. I decided it wasn't my type.
Closing down a Chuck E Cheese is a sad thing?
My impression from years ago was that it was a training ground for future gamblers.
Nah, space monsters don’t visit chucky cheese. Or earth.
1. I didn’t need to read the article or even see the video before forming a hypothesis. Sure enough, I was correct. Casual statistical analysis of observed data (ie. stereotypes) are usually born out.
2. Once I read the story and saw the names, the pretext of my hypothesis was further strengthened.
3. Once I saw the video, that was all she wrote.
The say “baby mommas”
Once when I was coming home on a vacation from Iraq I was driving from DFW to OK to check on some storage stuff. I was still tired and strung out from the heat and hours in Iraq then my (bad) back went out. It was night time and I was totally lost and disoriented. I pulled off onto an exit and pulled into a parking lot to call the fiance for help. She asked where I was and being out of it the only thing I could tell her was I was “in a parking lot with a giant g-d rat over me”. She realized I was under the sign of a Chuckie Cheese, looked up which one online and gave me directions to get back on the right interstate.

What’s sad about it? Chuck E. Cheese is all that is soulless and wrong.
“...ongoing disputes among people...”
How many different ways can they come up with to not say “gangbangers” ?
Yeah, that one jumped out at me as well. I've seen Mercedes, but never "Porsha." Will Audi be next?
These kids behaving like animals - that's what is soulless and wrong.
