An angry man roughed up a customer at a Little Caesars Pizza restaurant in Salinas for making a crack about his moms weight, police said.
The ruckus started Sunday when a 50-year-old man told a woman she should not eat pizza because she was already overweight, police said.
The comment sent the woman into a rage. She went to her car to get a crow bar, but before she could get in any blows, her son punched the man several times in the head.

If an obviously drunk man walks into a bar, staggers to the bar, tries to sit down and falls on the floor then gets up and slurs, “Gimme a drink,” the bartender has the option of saying, “I’m sorry, buddy, but you have had enough!”
If a 400/500-pound slob walks into a restaurant then why can’t a maître de at the restaurant say, “I’m sorry, buddy, but you have had enough”????? ;-)
Rude, to say the least. But I know a kid who was overweight. One Halloween, a homeowner told him he didn’t get candy because he was too fat and shouldn’t eat candy. He was heartbroken, the adults in his life (who were none too thin!) were indignant. But a few months later, this kid was trim and fit. He’d taken the words to heart, started exercising, and ate less candy and junk food. We’ve moved from that neighborhood, so I don’t know if he kept it off long term, but for a while, he was one healthy young man!

>>I say he was askin for it.<<
There IS a legal concept known as “fighting words.” Its implementation and interpreation vary by jurisdiction.
Insult my Mom (when she was alive) or my wife, and even if I am a little guy I will put you in the pavement or die trying.
The person who punched him should make sure he’s out of camera range before punching.
Fat chance.

Somehow it will be the fault of the restaurant owner...
Sticks and Stones may break my Bones but Words will never hurt me. Haven’t heard that phrase in quite some time. LOL
When someone’s first instinct is to reach for a crow bar to settle a score, they have bigger problems than weight loss. Just saying.
Peg was a VERY full-figured beauty. Women should have curves and not look like 2X4s.
I am sure you have, but I wanted to give you unsolicited advice.
:-)
>> Really?? You would be so pissed off that you would go outside, get a crowbar from the car, and come back in and hit somebody?
I think she was kidding about the crowbar.
She might have poked him in the eye with a sharp #2 pencil though. :-)
I keep a crowbar in my car just for such eventualities.
< /s >?
Probably just as well she didn’t make it back with the crowbar.
We would be starting a crowbar waiting list, registration and town hall meetings on the dangers of crowbar ownership. Glad she carries one in her car for emergencies. If she would have ‘open carried’ the dude would never have said anything.
Also, the son will probably get off because if Momma thought her son would ‘protect her honor’, she wouldn’t have had to shuffle out to get the crowbar.....
“I will give up my crowbar when they pry it from my cold, dead fingers”.....etc etc
“I dont understand the mentality people who insist on making comments to strangers about their weight.”
I took a driving course and it discussed the personality type that caused the bulk of accidents. It was the punishing parent. I think this personality type is present all the time and we only recognize it in the driving realm. My dad had this personality type and he’d make comments about fat people. It’s an attempt to control what those people look like. (Ridiculous, I know.) It’s also a criticism which implies the person speaking is better than the person being criticized.
That’s not that bad of an insult,
My wife came up to me not long ago and asked if she could get a Boob Job, I looked at her and then thought for a minute, got up and walked in to the bathroom and grabbed a little toilet paper, I handed it to her and told her to just rub some toilet paper in between her boobs twice a day and in no time they will get bigger and bigger. So she rubs a little between her boobs and politely asks me why I think this will do anything to her boobs, I turned back and said “ It worked on your Ass didn’t it”!
Yo mama is so fat...
Her belt size is ‘equator’.
