Man beaten up at Little Caesars after calling woman overweight

http://www.sfgate.com/crime/article/Man-beaten-up-at-Little-Caesars-after-calling-6313685.php

An angry man roughed up a customer at a Little Caesars Pizza restaurant in Salinas for making a crack about his mom’s weight, police said.

The ruckus started at 4:25 p.m. Sunday when a 50-year-old man at the pizza joint inside a strip mall at 506 East Laurel Drive told a woman “she should not eat pizza because she was already overweight,” police Cmdr. Sheldon Bryant said.

The comment sent the woman into a rage. She went to her car to get a crow bar, but before she could get in any blows, her son punched the man several times in the head, police said.

The mom and son then took off. They were not identified or arrested.

they got out of there before the arrest for assault.

But, it's understandable. Which of us would not go to the trunk to get the crowbar that we all keep there, for just this eventuality.

Like I somehow haven't noticed that I'm overweight.

He's a real dickhead, though, as has been demonstrated on pretty much a daily basis his entire life. At least I'm a good person.

Hopefully, the Lounge will have less of a stick up its collective ass.
