HAMPTON, Va. (WAVY) A video showing a brawl inside the Dennys Restaurant on West Mercury Boulevard in Hampton, Virginia has already been shared over 2,000 times on Facebook.
Hampton police said the fight broke out inside the Dennys around 2:30 a.m. Thursday.
The video posted on Facebook starts with one man, punching another on the ground. A woman tries to break it apart, but the scuffle heads to the back booths and kitchen area. At one point, a man actually rips his shirt off and pushes the other fighters toward the door.
More people get involved and try to break it up. The shirtless man starts cursing and knocks over a soda display. According to police, the fight then moved out to the parking lot.
WISH-TVs sister station WAVY talked to a woman who did not want to be identified. She said she was eating inside the restaurant and that the video does not show how it all started.
One of the guys had an issue with how packed it was getting and the fact that he hasnt been served, so he made a big commotion. The commotion was toward the waitress, calling her out, her name, calling her, just being rude and disrespectful, she said.
She said the customer went around the counter and was starting a fight with a male employee.
The employee didnt do anything, other than calm him down and he was being, I mean, really respectful. There was no need for all that commotion to have started [The customer] ends up putting his hands on the worker which causes the initial fight, she said.
When officers responded to the scene, they arrested 29-year-old Mario Wright from Newport News for allegedly assaulting an officer in the parking lot as he tried to break up the fight. They also arrested 31-year-old Albert Johnson from Newport News for public intoxication.
Staff members at Dennys said they could not comment on the fight. A message for Dennys corporate media department was not returned Friday.
Police said a verbally abusive group was inside the restaurant and that the fight did not appear to be motivated by any one reason.
One employee was hurt, but will recover, said police. The officer that was assaulted during this incident was not injured.
Officers say they expect to press more charges in this case.
Did they leave a tip?
They were confused and thought they were in a Chucky Cheese.
Our local Denny’s closed. They didn’t reach the fight quota
chiggers?

For some reason, my yard is infested with them this summer (the real kind) I seem to be immune to them but my wife can’t even walk through the yard without them tearing into her ankles and legs.
They already have. They're called Ghetto Brawls Queen of the Hood or Felony Fights. Enjoy

When I was a smaller kid in the 50s the
theme of Sambo’s as depicted on restaurant
wall murals was a story about Sambo, a little
black kid in Africa who was chased around a
palm tree by a tiger. They ran so fast that
the tiger was churned into butter and Sambo
put the butter on his hotcakes or something
like that. Later, likely due to the racial
situation at the time the restaurant Sambo was
transformed into an East Indian kid. Imagine
that. They couldn’t insult black people anymore
so they switched to East Indians. I guess at the
time there wasn’t enough Indian immigrants to form
a protest group. Think I will Google the story of
Sambo to find out what really maybe happened.
It took a minute, but yeah, that’s funny.
I remember Sambo’s. They had paintings for kids across the walls. It was like the restaurant version of “The Jungle Book,” but focused on breakfast.
There is one left:

And you are right—they were bankrupted partly due to political correctness.
Denny’s bought some of the Sambo’s.
There are no tigers in Africa, only India and China
"Long-lasting protection from mosquitoes, ticks, biting flies, gnats, chiggers."
I recommend the Tu-pac.
I have the children’s picture book, copyright 1961. It’s about a kid in India, his mom is named Black Mumbo and his dad Black Jumbo. No tigers in Africa, either.
good one!!!!
Nothing good happens at Denny’s at that hour.
