Nothing about that video suprises me...
Oh, don't you think that's a little heavy? That's just people behaving badly. You see it at gas stations, Wal-Marts, the BMV, inter alia. It has always been with us.
Something cops have to deal with every day, baby sitting the world and all that.
There used to be a concept in society called "shame", as in "I'd be ashamed of myself if I acted like that" or "if my Mom knew I did that I'd be ashamed".
"wild fight"?
Talk about overselling.
One day my Dad (who is in his 70's) asked me, "How did the Khardashian's get famous?"
I thought about it and said, "Well their Dad was O.J.'s lawyer and then his oldest daughter had a sex tape get leaked out with her and some famous guy and it kind of took off from there.." (I don't know the details and I am sure I may have missed something...)
He kind of looked at me funny and said, "So her dad helped a murderer avoid justice and she made a porn tape?"
"Pretty much..."
He just grunted and said, "There was a time that would've ruined them...And it wasn't that long ago...Now days that's your ticket to wealth and fame...God help us son...God help us..."
There used to be a concept in society called "shame", as in "I'd be ashamed of myself if I acted like that" or "if my Mom knew I did that I'd be ashamed".
It's all but gone. Now everyone is the star of their own reality show (something else that previous generations would be ashamed of) and everyone else needs to make way for them.
Speaking of Walmart, I went there the other day...a rarity...maybe its 20% or less of the people who look like inbred, slack-jawed yokels, but those are the ones you notice. You know the types I mean...walking around with the look on their face like an average 7 year old trying to factor quadratic equations in their heads.
I was in the Valpo Walmart a while back, may have been summer. Dude was walking around wearing a shirt that said. "I pooped today". WTF.
That would be the Walmart I speak of.
We figure they're from Kouts.

Shame and fear of father. I cannot imagine the beating I would have received for being arrested for fighting in public like that. Heck, he still may be able to do it.
I was raised with the words--just as many others here were--"if you go to jail, I will leave you in there."
I lived most in fear of these words: "we're disappointed in you."
Dad's exact words "don't waste your phone call on me. I'm not coming to get you." Went to an off campus party in TH one night. got there and they were charging at the gate to the yard for beer, the garage was awash in weed smoke. My buddy and I turned around and started to leave. 2 female friends were leaving at the same time so we gave them a ride. Got a block away when the 2 paddy wagons and 6 cars showed up. Burned into my brain to not be in the wrong place at any time.Shame and fear of father. I cannot imagine the beating I would have received for being arrested for fighting in public like that.
