Everybody was Kung Fu fighting.

No good deed goes unpunished

[Fido969]

Or, I suppose, Kung Pao fighting.

[Hot Tabasco]

Police said they were giving away free chicken when the crowd got out of hand and fighting broke out.

You should have seen the chaos that erupted when I once dropped a cricket on top of an ant hill........

[EEGator]

500 to 600 “people” did not show up. Homeboy Sapien Africanus showed up.

[cowboyusa]

In before me.🤣🤣

[FlingWingFlyer]

Looks like some of the Walmart Doorbusters Matter showed up.

The immigrant owner hadn’t yet learned the concept of didndo nuffin.

Fast learning curve in Philly.

[rustyboots]

What is it about Philadelphia and chicken that just makes this seem so natural??

[high info voter]

The “MEME Generation” .....”we’re entitled to free everything!!”

[Altura Ct.]

Fights broke out?

Who was fighting over chicken?

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Every year around Veteran's Day Golden Corral gives away a free meal to any veteran who shows up.

I have yet to see so much as a scuffle.

Who was fighting over chicken?

UPenn students.

Just a guess.

Maybe the cafeteria food isn't that good.

Asad's Hot Chicken

It's hot enough in Arabia, but probably too hot for chickens.

[Chode]

do I really have to say it???

[fella]

Usual suspects?

The restaurant posted on their social media accounts Thursday that they planned to give away 10 $200 gift cards as part of the location's grand opening starting at 3 p.m. Police said they were giving away free chicken when the crowd got out of hand and fighting broke out.

Did they expect this to somehow end differently?
