2 arrested in buffet brawl over crab legs

Alabama police say a dispute over crab legs at a dinner buffet ended in a brawl that left two people facing misdemeanor charges.

Huntsville police officer Gerald Johnson says he was eating at the Meteor Buffet restaurant when a fight broke out.

Johnson tells WHNT-TV that diners were using service tongs like fencing swords and plates were shattering, and a woman was beating a man. Johnson says diners had been waiting in line for crab legs for more than 10 minutes, and they lost their tempers once the food came out.

Tampa Bay QB Jameis Winston was unavailable for comment.

Nothing new for him. In FSU’s disastrous #AskJameis hashtag campaign he never did answer the burning question;

“Of all the coaches you have played for over the years, why did you steal those crab legs?”

Excuse me, does this restaurant serve crabs?
Sit right down sir. We serve everybody.

Scientists found out that crabs hear through their legs.
Imagine all the deaf crabs bobbing around on the ocean floor because people can’t stop eating crab legs

At least they weren't fighting over Trump supporters wearing red MAGA caps.

We're making some progress.

Several years ago, we went to a pizza restaurant buffet for Sunday lunch. Somehow, they mananged to run out of everything at the same time. For a few minutes, the buffet table was empty.

When they brought out food again, we waited as we’d been through the line once; we were letting people who had arrived while there was no food go ahead of us.

A very large man sitting near us got up and got in line as soon as he saw the food coming out (and he had not just arrived). I watched in amazement as he proceeded to flip half a pizza onto his plate!

Half a pizza-never mind several people in line behind him, including children.

I wonder if something like that happened at the seafood buffet? I have to admit, if I’d been behind the guy at the pizza buffet, I’d have been tempted to whack him with the tongs!

Either you don’t travel much or you dont know JUST HOW MUCH white trash is out there :)

Never be so certain what color the folks will be.

I’ve seen plenty of whites act like they grew up in a cave.

My ex (once is enough) used to like the AYCE buffet for some strange reason.
I would reluctantly go but order off the menu and I did ‘learn’ early on to NEVER order the special—I also tried to avoid the ‘chain’ restaurants UNLESS I was alone and they had a decent bar.

She would hate it when all ordered the ‘special’ and I would stick to my order off the menu and she never figured out why my steak looked so much better(bigger) than hers.

The few times I went on vacation, I would get up at my regular time and find the local ‘gin mill’ for breakfast. Always better than the motel ‘free breakfast’.

Amazingly my ‘union’ lasted 43 some years and particularly amazing because I don’t ‘play well with others’<: <:

Hopefully they were king crab legs, otherwise, the fight isn’t worth it. 8>)

The deadliest buffet? We’re they told we’re out of crab legs?

Well, interesting reading at 3AM.

Please.

These stories only get posted to FR because the subject is a black person. We can seriously stop pretending at this point, or posting “I dont even have to look”.

What the OP linked to was barely a paragraph blurb from a page of a dozen stories. But it was really important to know someone got into a fight at a buffet?

But FRs little caucus of black people bashers never let’s a good opportunity pass.

My favorite place serves "crab balls". I ask them who's the poor SOB they hire to castrate those crabs.

When I posted this I had no idea who or what race the perps were. So don't generalize.

Very funny! I’ve only been to one of these places (for an event), and know exactly what you mean. It was west enough in NJ to be all white people, but manners weren’t a priority...

It is a funny story, and as far as we know the white guy might be the instigator.

Let’s just talk about Michael Cohen instead.../s

Well said and of course, they will pretend some more and say “What? Me?” Thinking nobody sees it. Everybody sees it.

King crab or snow?

The real tragic comedy about this whole thing is that they were fighting over the oceans equivalent of Buzzard meat...

Gosh! No pics that I could see. Wonder what they looked like? Blonde haired blue eyed trouble making Swedes? Just a guess
