OT:Drunk kid wants his Mac and cheese at the Union

[mauconnfan]

http://thoughtcatalog.com/daniel-ha...g-him-mac-n-cheese-gets-tackled-and-arrested/ This kid pissed me off enough that I looked him up and he's been arrested twice before, one of the arrests was up at UMass where he capped it off by calling a police detective a Ni***r. He is or was on the UConn ski team and went to high school at the Killington ski school. This kid is the epitome of a spoiled and entitled brat. The video is going to get millions of views and the last image is this punk spitting in the face of the manager who was trying to give him his key lantern back and then having the cop shove his head throught the door. He better be expelled and nothing better happen to the cook who tackled him.

I'm afraid something should happen to the cook superjohn.

He should be made manager and the manager should be cooking. I know the manager held off as he should butt he cook mentioned no on e was going to "put down his manager" and he should be rewarded for standing up for him with this spoiled punk!

This kid is the cream of the crop of doucheb*gs and got everything that came to him here, but seriously... where the hell are his friends? My only logical explanation (beyond them not being there) is that they all hate him and just let it go, because otherwise it's inexcusable a buddy didn't drop him and drag his ass out before getting that far into it. Not a single guy that's gone to college doesn't understand this concept, and I've been on both sides of the coin.

Kid at 5:06 apparently knew him and called him by name. I guess he wasnt cool enough with him to drag him out of the place

I don't know, I kind of feel bad for the kid. 19 years old and seems to have an alcohol problem, which has directly resulted in him being kicked out of one school and likely soon to be another. Hope he finds and gets the help he needs.

Agreed. Ya it's fun to watch a get what he deserves but at the end of the day the kid has a problem and is probably more than a little twisted. Hopefully the shame from this video incentivizes him to do some self reflection.

There's having an alcohol problem (does that really exist in college?), and then there's being a giant d****e, which is then exacerbated by drinking.

This kid seems to fall into the latter category.

I watched the beginning and the end. No idea what went on in the middle,

This is too bad because right before he was taken down he screamed, "I'm Fishy for Christ sakes!!!!"

on the bright side, sales of that Mac and Cheese are through the roof.

It's very unfortunate for this kid that he made it through 17 or so years of his life being such a ridiculously big cooch and nobody did him the fine service of planting a tight right cross on his jaw to teach him some respect, perspective, and restraint.

I'm being completely serious.

At 8:13 in, the most classic part of the struggle begins:

"Can somebody get my shoes? What the duck* happened to my shoes?"

He was drunk, but not THAT drunk that I'm ready to say he has a "problem." Seems like an entitled who let alcohol destroy his filter. I feel like when I was at UConn someone would come and tackle by minute 2 rather than just being a gawking bystander. Different times I guess. On the same level, thank god there were not smartphones when I was at UConn. There were some epic video-able moments during the umpteen riots we had

I could understand if it was Pepe's pizza, but all that over student union Mac n cheese ?

Have you never had union mac and cheese?

The mac and cheese at the restaurant where my daughter works is called "Mac Crack," apparently in reference to its addictive qualities. I have yet to try it, but I note that it contains neither bacon nor jalapenos, two things I love almost as much as cheese.

All of which is to say that Union mac and cheese must be the real Mac Crack if kids are willing to get arrested for it.

Its not being drunk in public that prevents him from being a sympathetic figure, its his blatant disrespect for other people and belief that he's better than the dining staff that allows people to so freely suggest he got what he deserves. Having a drinking problem is one thing, compounding it with with that level of self righteousness and disrespect is another, black out drunk or not. A kid is a kid so that gives him somewhat of a pass, but at a certain age you are who you are in a lot of ways.

Back in the day, "wrong was wrong" and recognized accordingly. People stand around nowadays looking goofy and waiting for action. I grew up in a rough neighborhood and this scene would have been handled by someone that age, stepping up and challenging the little fart. Of course I grew up in the age of fistfights so I presume kids nowadays are walking around scared due to the many gun, weapon incidents seen in the media.

There was a tall kid, who looked to be with his girlfriend actually moving around to get a better look. He was smiling throughout like it was a TV show. So I presume him and his girl had something to talk about that night.

Dudes in my hood would have gotten laid (better than talking) that night by taking that kid out.

Its a different world that's for sure.

I was under the impression the whole video that nobody wants to do anything because it will be them that ends up facing the legal consequences. It absolutely sucks. If the manager hits the kid, the story is that he acted wrong and shouldn't have hit a kid. If another student comes in and takes the kid out, he's some viral youtube sensation who probably gets in trouble for assaulting another student. I don't think it's the gun stuff that makes kids scared to act in this type of scenario, it's just that they will still have to face consequences for doing the right thing. I'm hoping the cook guy that took him down doesn't get in any trouble, because he actually did something (the right thing) - he was so apprehensive it took that long to make it happen.

Long story short, that kid should have been knocked out the second he touched the manager and started demeaning his job. But I guess he knows nobody would act on it, that's how you end up with entitled brats like this in the first place... I'm sure by the way this kid talks, he would try and sue the first person that hits him anyways.

Superb use of the word "cooch."

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

Now the question is, does he get expelled?

 

[mauconnfan]

My 20 year old son just explained the difference in their thought process vs what we had 30-35 years ago. They know there's people video'ing this all over the place so it's just not worth it any more to step in and bring issues upon yourself. really sucks

 

[boog204]

is it too soon to start a "best mac and cheese" thread?

 

[Leebo]

People tried to step in a few times. It's not like every person just had a camera out. Plus, it's a good thing for at least one person to record stuff, because eyewitnesses are terrible at remembering accurately.

 

[mauconnfan]

Am I the only person who absolutely despises Mac N' Cheese?

Yes, yes you are...

Credit to the staff. They showed a lot more restraint with this kid than I would have.

It is hard to feel sorry for such a , but yeah as a human being you have the right of it, TCF. Everyone makes mistakes.

And please let me echo another sentiment I saw in this thread: Thank the ever loving lord cell cameras and social media were not around in my college days. While I never acted specifically like this kid I certainly did a ton of stuff Im not proud of in retrospect and Im glad photo/video and social media thoughts weren't there to capture them.

One kid is bullying/punching a blind kid at school. Another kid steps in, does the right thing, hits the bully in the face. Great, right? Protecting a defenseless blind classmate? Well, the kid who stepped up and did something got kicked off the football team for it, he breached their "zero tolerance" policy on violence. (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...en-school-bully-suspended.html#ixzz3mlC1G4hG ). That's a prime example of why I think kids are scared to act in these situations.

I do commend the restraint the staff showed. It just blows they even had to in the first place.

 

[mauconnfan]

Thanks August for putting it in some sort of perspective. I did some things (still do?) which would have gone viral but not in the same douchey manner. I mean I wasn't putting people down for what they do for a livelihood or calling them a "fn tool" etc etc.......If he was just drunk and stupid it would have been somewhat ok but he stepped way over the line of drunk n'douchey during this video!

It's stuff like this that makes me believe America has lost it's way, you should never be punished for doing the right thing.

Just the post-script on that story, the kid (who laid out the bully) wasn't disciplined by the school after all.

He clearly is asking for everything that comes his way school discipline wise. But does any college age kid deserve the ridicule and scorn from a whole country that he is about to receive? He definitely is a tool - check . He was disrespectful and out of bounds - check.

He is quickly going to have his life ruined by this though. I mean ruined. I dunno if the subsequent national punishment of piling on is going to fit the crime (no matter how obnoxious the kid was......and he wins an award for that).

If you read additional articles, the kid was not playing football this year so the "kicked off the team" part is erroneous. Still, major props to the kid for taking the bully down.
