GAFFNEY, SC (WSPA) — A crowd of people rushed into a Gaffney Waffle House, Thursday morning, unleashing a violent attack on a teenage woman inside. It was all captured on video.

Frame by frame, investigators with the Gaffney Police Department watched as attackers dragged the teen, later hitting her many times in the face.

The video was recorded by people in the group. Someone posted it on social media, bragging about the assault.(snip)

In the video, you can see many people fighting. At one point, someone even starts spraying mace.

“The next thing you know, a whole bunch of people just start jumping in — hitting me in the back of my head. She bit me in my eye. I beat her up though, but she bit me in the eye. I slammed her on the ground, started upper-cutting her. I’m still cute though,” one girl involved in the fight told WSPA-TV.

Investigators say they’re using both videos to file warrants and make arrests. Within hours, they arrested two women seen in the videos.

“If you want to put it on there [on social media] and you’re doing something illegal — prepare for prosecution,” said Sgt. Jeff Sizemore with the Gaffney Police Department.

Zhynbrekia Floyd, of Spartanburg, and Cleavontasia Phillips, of Cowpens, have both been charged with assault and battery.

According to the Gaffney Police Department, many more people could be charged in the days to come.

No need to click on the video. You can pretty much figure it out.

Wow, that was almost a Chucke E Cheese caliber beat down. Similar culprits too. Ccrowd filmed from multiple angles. And the polite society continues its long slide.

I didn’t read further but wonder what this fight was about. Some people seem to have a short fuse, a low boiling point. And also have poor impulse control and don’t think through the consequences of their actions.

I’ll be honest. I would almost certainly never hire anyone name Zhynbrekia or Cleavontasia. But I guess this sort of thing just never occurs to some parents.

Put them in an open cotton field and make them pick it for 40 hours a week. Pay them minimum wage and cut off all welfare. They’ll end up too tired to fight.

They must all be Trump supporters, because we all know via the MSM that all Democrats are the most intelligent ones around.
