Well, it seems there was a ‘slight’ kerfluffle at the local buffet at lunch today, but I was late to the party… dammit…
I got there the same time the cops did, but the ‘reconstruct’ is as follows-
Folks that I work with occasionally (Four women and two guys, both retired Marines) are getting ready to go into the buffet, one of the ladies opens the door, another lady starts through, only to be shoved aside by “middle eastern” male #1. She turns around and slaps him, he draws back to hit her starts the punch, and one of the retired Marines promptly face plants him into the glass by the door (looks like broken nose).
“Middle eastern” male #2 apparently calls the women whores, which gets HIM slapped by another lady, he kicks at her, and gets face planted on the sidewalk by the other retired Marine. Lady #3 calls cops, at this point both perps are screaming at the Marines that they can’t be treated this way and will be sued, and drop into some Arabic language.
Another man comes up, apparently a linguist (I’m guessing Army reservist), and apparently said something to “middle eastern” male #1, who then tries to spit on him, and the first Marine face plants him next to his buddy on the sidewalk. Linguist says they are now calling the women whores in Arabic, which prompts woman #2 to kick “middle eastern” male #2 where it hurts the most, and ask for a knife so she can geld him right there, right now.
Linguist translates that statement to “middle eastern” male #2, and he quiets down rather quickly.
Two police cars roll up about the same time I got there; one is a female officer who is also K-9, and the men start claiming they were ‘attacked’ for no reason, yada, yada, yada…
Female officer is apparently senior, so she tells the other officer to ‘control’ the two “middle eastern” males; meanwhile she’s talking to the women as the Marines let the two “middle eastern” males up. When she asks them for ID, they refuse, so they get cuffed and stuffed. Her comment to them was, “This is America, NOT where ever you come from; women are equals here!”
When she asks for witnesses, about 15 people apparently saw the whole thing, and she had to get folks to go sit in the buffet to fill out the paperwork.
After it was all said and done, the six FINALLY got in to eat, and the owner of the place comp’ed them for their lunches! Good for them!
And yeah, both Marines were smiling! 🙂
Sigh…
I miss ALL the “fun” dammit…
I LOVE it!
BTW- I have seen my “middle eastern” asshat of a doctor a few times lately & he hasn’t bothered to push me aside anymore. Once I found out who he was, I put a bee in the bonnet of one of the MD Dept heads. He had a “discussion” with Dr. Asshat. 🙂
The only thing that would have made it better is if the female cop had gelded them… just sayin’. 😉
Law, culture, and gender aside, it just makes sense that if you shove a stranger without legitimate provocation, you can expect to have your face rearranged.
Sorry you missed it!
They got better than they deserved. We don’t let ladies be treated like that ’round here.
What TheMinuteman and DaddyBear said.
Semper Fi!
Snigs- That’s great news! 🙂
MM- My co-worker would have been MORE than happy to do it… 🙂
Suz- In ‘their’ world, women don’t have ANY rights… And I am too!
DB- Yep!!!
Rev- Concur! I even offered to buy em a beer after the next range session! 🙂
God Bless the MARINES!
Oh, it will be racism by the time the media gets hold of it. Personally, if you shove my wife, you’ll be lucky to make it out alive. Pull back like you’re going to punch and the clean up will be with a shovel.
I obviously need to fly to Peoria. That sounded like some excitement.
drjim- Yep!
45er- I’m betting it never sees the light of day…
Andy- You’re not old enough to ‘know’ that quote… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Will_it_play_in_Peoria%3F
Oooo, that DID sound like fun!
I love a happy ending…*sniff*
Let me know where to send my $$$ for their beer.
All’s well that ends well.
And that episode ended GREAT!
That’s how they behave at home – in the land of sheets and bad hygiene.
I’m glad that some American males showed them how we handle things downtown.
Damn, I like a happy ending. Too bad you missed the face planting; can’t let the Marines have all the fun.
Is this a great country, or what??
In this case, I’m going to go with what DrJim said. Rude people suck.
You will, of course, text me this address, Please? Always up for a Rodeo. Been a little parched lately. 😉
Good thing the Marines were retired, if they were active duty Eric Holder’s DOJ would probably have them prosecuted for “Islamophobia.” Bravo Zulu, anyway!
I am glad they got their goat humping a$$es kicked
I would have gladly offered my swiss army knife or my kabar knock off to the lady in question.
OldNFO – What Navy Vet, Bob, said.
Shipmate, this Enquiring Maritime Mind Wants To Know. What was the GEOPOSIT of this Semper Fi Fest there in Greater Beltwayville? I assume this “Sharia Law Snuffing Event” took place in the general vicinity of your Arlington “Salt Mines” and your “Teepee.” I am just curious in a “There goes the neighborhood” kind of way. A general posit would be fine (i.e. Arlington, just off Arlington Blvd…Rosselyn, Wilson Blvd…etc).
That made my day. Can’t wait to share!!!
Have I mentioned how much I love Marines?!
Groundhog/Kurt- 🙂
Tim- I got em covered!
DT- It did
LL- Yep, and bet they won’t try that again…
WSF- Yeah, bummed me out…
Skip- It is!!!
JR- That they do!
PA- I’ll give you a heads up next time 🙂
Bob- Good point, and you’re probably right…
Rick/Mark- Concur!
Joe- A block from NSF
Nancy- 🙂
Agirl- Once or twice…LOL
The Cop in Charge is a WOMAN who is also a K9 officer?
Talking about the worst possible ending for the two idiotic Moors: being hauled to jail by orders of a supposedly inferior human who deals directly with unclean animals.
I hope they were fed pulled pork sandwiches.
Now that was a great story to start off the weekend!
Bravo Zulu Indeed!
GOOD. let them have a taste of reality in our world.
A rather mild ass whooping by Marines but still deserving of a round of beers. IOU will be paid on demand.
Gerry
Miguel- I hadn’t thought of that, but you’re right…LOL
Keads/Armed- Yep!
Laura- I ‘think’ they thought they’d get away with it…
Gerry- Yep!
I hope someone video’d it. It’d be an instant hit on YouTube.
Crucis- No video, that was one of the first things the lady cop asked… Apparently it all went down in under a minute…
What a strange sense of entitlement. I can’t imagine being that impolite when visiting another country.
BP- I ‘think’ they figured they’d get away with it… Just sayin…
what interests me most is that the first women’s reaction to being shoved is to hit the guy. It’s not that I disagree with that reaction but I can’t see it happening here. I’ve never seen a woman slap a guy IRL for any reason at all. I’m thinking if you reacted that way here you’ld get done for assult.
And I can’t even imagine doing it myself. I think I would probably have said something very loudly to him about his behaviour but to actually slap a guy … mmm … and then to slap him because he called you a whore – again can’t see that happening here … i really reckon if the whole episode went down here like that you’ld have four mates up on assault charges. Talk about different cultures!
@Julie:
If you were elbowed/groped during the shove to get out of the way, what would you do?
Not saying these women were, but, …
Please tell me that when our good Marine kicked the pig fellating scum in his minuscule parts something ruptured.
This needs to be the start of a national trend. “Treat your women that way if you want; treat American women that way and we’ll kick yer ass.”
Glad we had a translator on hand, so there was no misunderstanding.
Julie/Scott- I wasn’t there, so I’m getting this after the fact, but American women WILL slap a man for doing something they don’t like.
Ken- The Marine didn’t the Lady did 🙂
Rick- Concur!
I lost it at female K9 officer. Damn, Karma is beautiful sometimes. Bet they didn’t have to pay for lunch either.
Ah yes, now I see the ending.
Why didn’t they give her the knife?
Thanks for this heartwarming story. Me and Himself and AEPilotjim were laughing about this over lunch yesterday.
We can’t wait to see you, soon!
Yay! I love a happy ending. USMC – No better friend, no worse enemy. Thank you to all who have served and who still serve.
Russ
Jenn- Yep, Karma… 🙂
Phlegmmy- Good!
Russ- Yep, USMC wins!
