Now they don't have to worry about anyone talking about the Fight Club because their members naturally forget them.

Three employees at the Danby House assisted living facility started an upper ground version of Fight Club that comes with a twist; dementia patients are their members. Marilyn Latish McKey, 32; Tonacia Yvonne Tyson, 20; Taneisha Deshawn Jordan, 26, have been charged for elder abuse and have been arrested accordingly. The report was filed in June after the appropriately named fight club leaders were accused of fighting one another and encouraging patients to fight each other. These are people whose bones may break any time, what were they thinking?

The police force and North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services were shocked after finding out that Mckey, Tyson, and Jordan were doing such a thing. For one, each member assaulted disabled individuals at the Danby House assisted living facility. McKey is facing...

Their first names sound like over the counter pain medications. No need to look at the mug shots.

Grievous psyche abuse. Dementia patients are prone to oppositional defiance. Encouraging fighting makes it worse for them.

It isn’t too hard to figure out what would happen if people with severe osteoporosis with high risk of fracture were forced to fight each other.

What type of people would ever even think of doing something so utterly despicable?

My father, a brilliant physician, died of dementia. It was a horrible thing to watch and death did not come easily. The actions of these women made me sick and they should be imprisoned for a long, long time followed an accounting before the Almighty.

There’s some irony in a Tyson running a fight club.
Many states have tough penalties for elder abuse - I hope these 3 are looking at prison time, but maybe that’s only if assault is involved.

My Mom died last year of dementia caused by Alzheimer’s. A terrible enough way to go without having to worry about monsters like those evil beings. I really couldn’t be more angry about this and I hope the families sue this place out of existence. There really is no excuse for not staying on top of what these demons were up to.

Tonacia AND Taneisha? Come on, what are the odds? Were they fighting over their Tenacious D tracks?

This same demographic has been discovered running “fight clubs” at toddler daycare facilities as well. And then there are the dogfights . . .

When chickens and cock fights are already illegal, the sentencing in Court for the abused patients families could get a lot of cash settlement for pain and suffering.

The SEIU will still insist that they make at least $15 an hour.

People who abuse and exploit the vulnerable, whether they are children, intellectually impaired or elderly are the lowest form of scum and their punishment should be both public and painful.
