'What a surprise!'

What started as a peaceful Mother’s Day dinner at Kiku Japanese Steakhouse and Sushi Bar on Camp Creek Parkway turned into a massive brawl between employees and customers.
Video of the fight surfaced online showing people throwing plates, trays and an ice bucket into the dining area.
Sailyn Barlow, 14, and her father captured the incident with their cellphones.
“I’m actually thinking it’s very good stuff,” Barlow told Channel 2 Action News. “I’m thinking, ‘Wow, I’m going to have a lot of views on this if I post it. Wow, I can’t believe this is actually happening. And wow, I hope I don’t get hit with something.”
According to a police report, Demonte Harrison, a busboy at the restaurant, was cleaning tables when a female customer berated him for smiling.
Harrison told the customer it was his job to smile and she couldn’t tell him not to smile.
It was then that a male customer got up and punched the Harrison, according to the report. The victim was attacked by three other males in the group.
Employees attempted to help the busboy fight off the men.
No one was seriously injured in the fight, which East Point police said started after an employee smiled at a difficult customer, according to Channel 2. They are looking for four men and one woman in connection with the incident, the television station reported.
Restaurant owner Charlie Son said his employees were just sticking up for the worker who took the first punch.
“He’s very upset, very excited,” Son told Channel 2. “He cannot speak. I told him to please go home, just calm down and take a rest.”
Son estimated he lost about $5,000 in business after people got up and left during the brawl. The people who started the fight did not pay for their meal, he told Channel 2.

'What a surprise!'
Every single time I’ve drunk saki it has been a mistake.
Happens all the time. After all, mother’s day is an inciteful holiday, right? Try calling someone a mother and you will get involved in a brawl, too.
Usually the Japanese are more restrained.
This was worse than last year’s bun fight at the Golden Corral.
I'm just surprised nobody got upset when
the chef burnt the steak on the hibachi.
East Point, I don’t even need to see a picture, I know who is involved. :(
Did perps create a disturbance to bolt on the bill?
Looks to be Obama’s sons....again! Go figure.
Did someone tell a transgender person to go to a different bathroom than the one (s)he wanted?
It’s a Happy Mutha’ F**ka’s Day.
African culture. What can you say. Look what BO has brought the table of state, what Marion Barry brought to DC, and what Coleman Young did for Detroit?
You’d think Fathers Day would be the tough one.
So many, many questions.

That’s one way to bail before paying the check. Nothing mentioned about ethnicity, so they must be...
Ferals eat sushi?

Jeez, not even sushi restaurants are safe from the manimals anymore. What is next? Hockey games?
Every Sunday after church, my friends and I go to a nice restaurant and have Bloody Mary’s and brunch. Usually there are several black people sitting at the bar with us, everyone is laughing and having a good time. Every single time each black person sends their breakfast back in various stages of consumption - half eaten to almost all the way gone while they complain about the way it was cooked, tastes or wasn’t what they wanted. Their breakfast gets removed from their bill.
