This incident happened in Colorado. There are two men involved and what you need to know is that Vernon Brandt is 52 years old and Richard Albers is 85 and…it took place in a McDonald’s parking lot.
On the day of the assault, Albers walked up to Brandt’s truck because Brandt was blocking the spot Albers has been using almost every morning for 16 years. Albers tapped on Brandt’s door, and Brandt then swung open his truck door, knocking Albers to the ground. Brandt then allegedly got out of his car, grabbed Albers and threatened to fight him. Prosecutors said the men had argued over the spot before.
Without getting in to the particulars of the banality of arguing over a parking spot at McDonald’s, if the guy you’re arguing with is 85!!!…you simply defer. That’s all. If a guy is 85, you give him a seat on the bus, let him go in front of you at the check-out line and let him have the open urinal. Even if the guy is a total nimrod…you defer. You certainly don’t knock him on his ass and threaten to throw down with him over a parking space at McDonald’s.
If you do that, you are 100% U.S.D.A. Grade A, Prime YOB!
Big thanks to Sis for finding this one here.
Having spent a good deal of time in Montana, I get a real kick out of the writer’s use of “Needless to say the man from North Dakota” in the context here.
Wow! The headline of this U.K. News story is actually “TORY WAR ON THE CLASSROOM ‘YOBS’”...
THE Tories today declare war on “yobbery” in the classroom, as they reveal the true scale of Labour’s appalling record at tackling pupils’ bad behaviour.
Good to see that there are people finally ready to take a stance on yobbery.
Schools Secretary Ed Balls continues to insist that classroom discipline is improving. But the figures tell another story.
Ed Balls!!??
yep…Ed Balls…
The Tories will tomorrow unveil their draft education manifesto in full.
On the eve of its publication, Shadow Schools Minister Nick Gibb said: “Ed Balls claims that school discipline has improved but teachers, parents and children know that the opposite is true.
“Teachers do not have the necessary tools to crack down on yobbery. We need to give them more powers so they can nip problems in the bud before they spiral out of control.”
Uh…well…I can’t improve on that.
