Video shows brawl at Denny’s

HAMPTON, Va. (WAVY) — A video showing a brawl inside the Denny’s Restaurant on West Mercury Boulevard in Hampton, Virginia has already been shared over 2,000 times on Facebook.

Hampton police said the fight broke out inside the Denny’s around 2:30 a.m. Thursday.

The video posted on Facebook starts with one man, punching another on the ground. A woman tries to break it apart, but the scuffle heads to the back booths and kitchen area. At one point, a man actually rips his shirt off and pushes the other fighters toward the door.

More people get involved and try to break it up. The shirtless man starts cursing and knocks over a soda display. According to police, the fight then moved out to the parking lot.

WISH-TV’s sister station WAVY talked to a woman who did not want to be identified. She said she was eating inside the restaurant and that the video does not show how it all started.

“One of the guys had an issue with how packed it was getting and the fact that he hasn’t been served, so he made a big commotion. The commotion was toward the waitress, calling her out, her name, calling her, just being rude and disrespectful,” she said.

She said the customer went around the counter and was starting a fight with a male employee.

“The employee didn’t do anything, other than calm him down and he was being, I mean, really respectful. There was no need for all that commotion to have started…[The customer] ends up putting his hands on the worker which causes the initial fight,” she said.

When officers responded to the scene, they arrested 29-year-old Mario Wright from Newport News for allegedly assaulting an officer in the parking lot as he tried to break up the fight. They also arrested 31-year-old Albert Johnson from Newport News for public intoxication.

Staff members at Denny’s said they could not comment on the fight. A message for Denny’s corporate media department was not returned Friday.

Police said a “verbally abusive group” was inside the restaurant and that the fight did not appear to be motivated by any one reason.

One employee was hurt, but will recover, said police. The officer that was assaulted during this incident was not injured.

Officers say they expect to press more charges in this case.

Yep, that’s “cover” for who started it.

On the bright side Dennys, who was in trouble a few years back for not serving black folks, is now.

Cracker Barrel now has a big sign at the front door explaining that their place is a big tent and all are welcome.

Nothing good ever happens at 2:30 AM at Dennys. Especially the food.

...

Taking the shirt off is usually a white guy thing.

I feel bad for people who have to take jobs under these conditions.

Just wait until Obama takes your money to pay folks who couldn’t afford to live in your neighborhood to actually live in your neighborhood, maybe even next door. I can’t wait til there is Section 8 housing in my no-crime gated community.
