JANUARY 25--South Carolina cops are attempting to identify the participants in a wild brawl early Saturday at an International House of Pancakes, video of which has gone viral online.
As seen in the below clip--which includes some cursing--the female combatants are seen punching and wrestling with each other as tables are toppled. At one point, a woman picks up a coffee pot and strikes another woman in the head while she is being pinned to a table. Later, a man is seen swinging a cane at the woman who was struck with the coffee pot. The woman, adopting a lion tamers pose, picks up a chair and tosses it at the cane wielder.

South Carolina is well known for brawls at pancake and waffle places. I’ve been collecting these incidents but don’t know what to do with them. Maybe if I catalog enough I can write an encyclopedia of waffle mayhem.
If anyone wants to read pancake brawls, I can post them anytime. I have one involving an armed pancake flipper. The customer, who ordered a Waffle House special and pissed off the chef, was only knicked by schrapenel.
General Patton who landed in Sicily in WW II, came under similar fire.
This brawl took place at 5:00 in the morning in Orangeburg, the home of the highly regarded South Carolina State University.
What’s that saying about “nothing good happens after midnight”? I think it’s safe to say that this crew was not stopping to have breakfast on their way to work.
Tiller the Killer?
There are no oranges in Orangeburg, at least none that grow there and not much burg, not even a lot of good burgers. As we used to say, “It’s a great place to be FROM, far from.”
They eat at the IHOPs that don't have security guards.
What the hell; did they think they were in the Waffle House?
I'll blame it on Lyndon Baines Johnson.
So..."coffee" was involved.
Darksheare, what do you know about this incident?
Funny as Hell. It looked like a National Geographic special.
LOL! Thats nothing.... There are some Waffle Houses(in certain um... “Urban Areas” you CAN NOT go to at 2 or 3 am! There are routine shootings at these places....... Be carefull...Better have your Concealed Carry if you want some Waffles and Hash Browns Scatterd-Smootherd
A Tea Party that got out of control?;)
Look like coffee drinkers to me.
1. Did you see how many camera phones were out, filming this?
2. NOBODY had to guess who these people were — EVERYONE in that place KNEW these people. If they didn’t BEFORE this brawl, they did shortly thereafter.
3. Orangeburg isn’t that big a city in SC. There’s only ONE reason the IHOP wouldn’t want to pursue charges. The management KNOWS exactly who was in the fight — and fears what they (or their associates) would do were they to press charges.
4. Law Enforcement in Orangeburg MAY be “diligently” seeking those involved — but no one is talking (or sharing the multiple videos), maybe due to the same reasons IHOP isn’t pressing charges. Or maybe the Sheriff’s Department knows (in general) who they are dealing with, and doesn’t want to bite off more than they can chew. I believe the former more than the latter.
No one was detained, the manager wants to pretend it didn't happen, and the police don't really care.
This screams of "it's just our CULTURE, don't be hatin!"
From the looks of what I saw the other customers carrying, I guess besides a "Vision" ATM card (new name for food stamps); IPhones are now free standard issue as well.
I wonder who pays the monthly service fee?
Me, I buy the gourmet expensive stuff because when I drink it, I want to taste it. But you know what's on my mind right now?
After generations of inner-city females mating with the highest-testosterone, most aggressive thugs available, is it surprising that even their daughters are aggressive, violent thugs now?
