Food Fight At Early Bird Diner Lands Senior Citizen in Jail

Regret. Pain. Ageism. Getting old isn't easy. But what's more tragic is when seniors can't frequent their local early bird eatery without fear for their personal safety. Take for example an incident that occurred at about 3:45 p.m. Tuesday at the Golden Corral in Wilkesboro, North Carolina.

Because that's when police say a 64-year-old woman instigated a food fight that left two other seniors injured, and potentially robbed of the ability to enjoy future hot buffets without looking over their shoulders.

Here's how it went down according to police.

One of the alleged victims, Linwood Moore, claims the suspect, Polly Richards, intentionally bumped into him at the salad bar. Already things were getting hardcore.

What surprises me is that this didn't happen in Florida.

[grobdriver]

Polly want a cracker?

[verga]

Rogue Amish.

[Tigerized]

Do I even have to look?

[FrdmLvr]

What, no pictures? Wonder why.

[ClearCase_guy]

I think I missed this episode of Seinfeld.

[GBA]

No booking photo?

Actually, a look at her prescription(s) might be more informative.

The side effects of so many commonly prescribed drugs are worse than the condition they're supposed to treat.

[Flycatcher]

Painfully "hip," glib editorializing.

I hate crap journalism like this.

And, yeah, I know, it's "supposed" to be funny.

[sport]

Three guesses and the first two don’t count as to why. In fact, it would be less obvious if they posted pictures.

“.. Richards threw a plate of food at a patron... Caldwell is expected to survive”.

I’d hope the heck so. Could you imagine DYING from a plate of salad?!

[knittnmom]

I’m getting old, I think. When I see “senior”, I expect to read that the senior was 80+, not just 64.

[Larry Lucido]

Never miss the Early Bird Special!

And never get in their way, either.

“Eat hickory!”

[dblshot]

Could you imagine DYING from a plate of salad?! Yeah, she could have gotten beaned.

[teeman8r]

shouldn’t that be three beaned?

[Kackikat]

Senior is “over 55” nowadays...that’s the McDonald’s break on coffee costs...Senior Drinks etc.

As for Wilkesboro, NC....interesting place...hmmm?. This is near Boone in the Mountains.

I like North Wilkesboro, a nice place, I love the library up there, best geneology in NC except for Raleigh archives.
They are 2 different towns side by side in upper western NC.

[dfwgator]

"Yankee bean soup, cole slaw and tuna surprise."

[a fool in paradise]

Polk Salad Polly PING!

[Veggie Todd]

Yeah, she could have gotten beaned.

Lettuce not jump to conclusions.

[lowbridge]

"Because that's when police say a 64-year-old woman instigated a food fight that left two other seniors injured"

Food fight!

[a fool in paradise]

Could you imagine DYING from a plate of salad?!

"Foul weed!"
