Cops Probe IHOP Melee Caught On Tape
The Smoking Gun website ^ | 1/25/11 | Smoking Gun

Posted on 01/25/2011 1:03:25 PM PST by safeasthebanks

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 tamer’s pose, picks up a chair and tosses it at the cane wielder.

>> Women are supposed to be the civilizing factor in any society.

Utterly wrong. The statement assumes that women have some superior built-in notion of civilization. What civilizes men is a societal structure which requires men to be civilized in order to get ACCESS to women.

When a young man had to be educated, polite, and showing strong promise of having a successful life in front of him before a father would tolerate him speaking to his daughter, then we had civilization. The slow-motion collapse we are seeing comes from the breakdown of that system.

“Utterly wrong”?

Perhaps utterly arrogant and assuming on your part. You obviously assumed that I was missing something. An incorrect assumption.

Your more in-depth explanation was exactly what I was referring to, and I assumed people would understand that reference. I guess not. THAT might be where I was “utterly wrong”.

More specifically, even, than YOUR post, would be that society USED TO require men to be civilized in order to have access to SEX.

The left (under their ideological “father”’s tutelage), has made every effort to destroy all those societal barriers and we end up with a barbaric society.

"This is the logical unintended consequence of kids growing up without the discipline of fathers."

I think this hits the nail right on the head. I tell everyone I know when subjects like this come up - until the out of wedlock birth rate is SIGNIFICANtLY reduced, there will be little or no progress in addressing the other current "societal ills", e.g., gang violence, school drop-out rates, drug addiction, etc.

Someone will always respond.."that's too simple". To which I always respond - it IS simple. It's not easy, but it is simple.

There are many other funny moments, in fact it gets funnier every time I watch it. I love how the woman in the gray dress swings her purse around like a battle axe but then puts it down to join the battle. I love the woman in the striped top who stands up on the banquette bench in order to walk away from the action. Also, the guy who TAKES HIS PLATE OF FOOD WITH HIM as he exits the battle area. No doubt he continued eating while the fight progressed. And the blond girl cowering in her booth when the woman in gray walks past her on the way out. This video is truly rich with amusement.

You should start a “Disgraceful but hilarious brawls at cheap restaurants” page on Facebook, post the ones you’ve documented and create a collection. I am sure other people have saved them, too, and would contribute to your documentation. Wal-la, you have a book, or at least a public TV special.

You would think that a restaurant would be the last place to start a fight, given all the makeshift weapons that are available to quick-thinking employees defending themselves(knives, forks, boiling water, hot grease).

Now is a very acceptable time.

No these are not the Amish.

In the restaurant business, they're called Canadians.

IHOP does not use my coffee, so I can safely say that it was not involved.

I don’t think this is surprising, when amidst African Americans 75% of the kids are literally bastards.

There’s a reason why that word, historically, is a bad word.

What’s scary is the 25%+ of white kids now are bastards too.

The sexual revolution of the ‘60s is bastardizing America.

Why wouldn't the restaurant pursue charges against the combatants?

Probably because they're afraid they'll come back and COMPLETELY destroy the place, with guns or arson, or, just sue them for "racism."

>> a father would tolerate him speaking to his daughter

That underscores my point about the role of males creating the facade of intrinsic superior virtue.

Concerning the issue of civility, abortion and pornography tell me everything I need to know - women play a major role in both.

Fathers used to play a major role in the selection of their daughter's husband. One reason why they were so diligent in trying to ensure that the daughter married a good man is that they didn't want the daughter showing up at some future point with her kids crying that the guy's no good and wanting Daddy to support her again.

What caused civilization was not women, it was the Patriarchy that feminists complain about.

Not a bad idea, La Lydia. Trouble is that getting an understanding of Facebook - how it works, the benefits and dangers - is another huge amount of time I need to devote to gain that understanding.

Thanks.

Take a SC FReeper’s word for this: do not venture into O’burg if at all avoidable. Stay close to the I-95 exit if you must stop. This town is the worst of the worst in terms of racially fueled hatred. It is the lodestone in Clyburn’s little voting district.
