<p>A Maryland high school saw at least ten fights break out in just one day this week, and two days later a student was caught with a loaded handgun.</p>
<p>The string of fights happened Tuesday and the gun incident occurred Thursday at Charles Herbert Flowers High School near Washington, D.C., prompting an investigation by school administrators.</p>
<p>On Thursday, a student was found in possession of a loaded handgun, the school said in a <a href="https://twitter.com/RamirezReports/status/1737878379871797616" target="_blank" rel="noopener">letter</a> to parents. The student was let in through a side door by another student and quickly confronted and searched by school security, the letter said.</p>
<p>No students or staff were harmed or actively threatened in the handgun incident, the school said.</p>
<p>Police <a href="https://www.wbal.com/prince-georges-police-arrest-charles-herbert-flowers-high-school-student-after-bringing-a-gun-to-school/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">arrested</a> an 18-year-old male suspect in connection with the gun incident. He faces several charges, including having a loaded handgun on his person.</p>

<p>&#8220;Discuss with your child the consequences, such as expulsion, for bringing weapons or anything that resembles a weapon to school. Please encourage your child to always immediately report the sighting of any weapon or suspicious objects on school grounds to a staff member or trusted adult,&#8221; Assistant Principal Diedra Smalis Screws <a href="https://twitter.com/RamirezReports/status/1737878379871797616" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a> in a Thursday letter to parents.</p>

<p>One large brawl in a school hallway was captured on video and posted to social media. Dozens of students can be seen watching the fight. Another scuffle outside was also caught on video.</p>
<p>The school sent a letter to parents about the fights on Wednesday, informing them about a &#8220;concerning series of multiple altercations.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;School administration is in communication with the families of individuals involved, and we assure you we are taking action to ensure safety in our school,&#8221; the school <a href="https://www.fox5dc.com/news/10-fights-break-out-at-prince-georges-county-high-school-maryland" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> parents in the letter.</p>
<p>&#8220;In no way do these incidents reflect the values and standards of our school. We must work together to guide our students towards making better decisions and promoting a school climate that values cooperation and understanding. We appreciate your help in reinforcing these principles at home,&#8221; the assistant principal wrote.</p>
<p>Students allegedly opened doors to the building, allowing students from other schools to join the fights, some of which were prompted over small things like one student stepping on another&#8217;s shoes, <a href="https://www.fox5dc.com/news/10-fights-break-out-at-prince-georges-county-high-school-maryland" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to some parents. Another factor was tension between groups of students from different neighborhoods, one parent said.</p>
<p>&#8220;They&#8217;re fighting outside in the parking lot where the school buses are,&#8221; one concerned parent <a href="https://www.fox5dc.com/news/10-fights-break-out-at-prince-georges-county-high-school-maryland" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> Fox 5. &#8220;Like, where&#8217;s leadership? Where&#8217;s security?&#8221;</p>
<p>It is not yet clear whether any students were injured in the fights.</p>
<p>Some parents <a href="https://www.fox5dc.com/news/10-fights-break-out-at-prince-georges-county-high-school-maryland" target="_blank" rel="noopener">blamed</a> the fights on the absence of the school&#8217;s principal, Dr. Gorman Brown, who was placed on administrative leave in October for undisclosed reasons.</p>

<p>School discipline has been a mounting concern at schools across the country since students returned to in-person learning after the COVID pandemic.</p>

<p>Two NBA players were ejected from a game over the weekend after they engaged in a fight that ended up in the stands.</p>
<p>The Toronto Raptors&#8217; Christian Koloko and Miami Heat&#8217;s Caleb Martin were ejected in the third quarter on Saturday night after a scuffle broke out between the two.</p>
<p>Koloko and Martin both went up to grab a rebound off of a missed 3-point attempt when they came down twisted up with each other.</p>
<p>When Koloko hit the floor, Martin stood over him in an intimidating manner, and when Koloko bumped into Martin as he stood up, Martin tackled Koloko into the stands.</p>
<p>The fight led to players, coaches, and staff rushing in to break things up.</p>

<p>Koloko said afterward that he had no idea what led Martin to tackle him.</p>
<p>&#8220;He just stood there looking at me like crazy,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I just stood up. I don&#8217;t know.&#8221;</p>
<p>Martin claimed that there were &#8220;a lot of plays that were kind of leading up to it.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;It was a chippy game. That&#8217;s typically how the game goes with Toronto,&#8221; Martin continued. &#8220;It&#8217;s a chippy back and forth. But ultimately I just think that emotions were high and the game was a close game. It was back and forth. Overall, I got to be more professional in the way I handle those type of situations.&#8221;</p>
<p>Miami ended up winning 112 to 109.</p>
<p>The NBA suspended Martin for one game, which ESPN noted would cost him nearly $45,000.</p>
<p>Koloko was fined $15,000, and Heat rookie Nikola Jovic was also suspended for leaving the bench during the incident.</p>
<p>&#8220;Miami Heat forward Caleb Martin has been suspended one game without pay for instigating an on-court altercation by taunting Toronto Raptors center Christian Koloko and then tackling him into the spectator stands, and Koloko has been fined $15,000 for grabbing Martin during the altercation,&#8221; the league said in a statement. &#8220;Heat forward Nikola Jovic has also been suspended one game without pay for leaving the bench area and entering the altercation. The incident, for which Martin and Koloko were each assessed one technical foul and ejected, began when the players became entangled while battling for rebounding position. The incident occurred with 7:46 remaining in the third quarter of the Heat’s 112-109 win over the Raptors at FTX Arena on Oct. 22.&#8221;</p>
<p>The league said Martin and Jovic would serve their one-game suspensions on Monday when the Heat tip off against the Raptors at FTX Arena.</p>

<p>NASCAR driver Andrew Grady attacked opponent Davey Callihan through the window of Callihan&#8217;s car after an accident knocked both drivers out of a race at Martinsville Speedway in Virginia on Saturday.</p>

<p>&#8220;I mean, he wasn&#8217;t close. He dive-bombed me. He hooked me, and I wanted to talk to him and he flipped me off. So I started Mike Tysoning his head,&#8221; Grady said in a video after the incident.</p>
<p>&#8220;You&#8217;re in a big-boy sport. When you wreck a man, you can take a grown-man ass whipping. That&#8217;s how I feel about it,&#8221; he added during the interview.</p>

<p>Callihan offered a different take on the exchange in a response provided to the Daily Mail.</p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">&#8220;It was for a transfer position at Martinsville. From my perspective, I was there. It was close. But you can&#8217;t give an inch for the transfer spot when there&#8217;s 95 cars and I had to take it. It was just hard racing. I do apologize to (Grady), but we&#8217;re fighting for our life out there so I just did what I had to do,&#8221; he <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/sportsnews/article-11246881/NASCAR-driver-goes-BERZERK-fellow-racer-wreck-Martinsville-Speedway.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;I never flipped anybody off. He just comes starts punching me inside the race car, so&#8230; I understand he&#8217;s frustrated, but again it&#8217;s for the transfer spot and we were just fighting for our life,&#8221; Callihan added.</p>
<p>A longer version of the video shows Grady pointing at Callihan as he drove by before the fight, clearly upset over being out of the race.</p>

<p>Tom Hardy literally shocked opponents at a martial arts fighting competition in England when he secretly entered the Brazilian jiu-jitsu event and walked away winning the whole thing.</p>
<p>The 45-year-old actor didn&#8217;t enter the 2022 Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Open Championship over the weekend using his stage name, but his real name, &#8220;Edward,&#8221; the <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/sep/20/really-nice-guy-tom-hardy-surprises-competitors-with-entry-and-victory-in-martial-arts-contest">Guardian</a> reported.</p>
<p>No competitors knew he was the one they would be grappling with until they were face to face.</p>
<p>&#8220;I was shell-shocked,&#8221; competitor Danny Appleby shared. &#8220;[Hardy] said, &#8216;Just forget it&#8217;s me and do what you would normally do.'&#8221;</p>
<p>Appleby said Hardy is a &#8220;really strong guy,&#8221; which he found surprising given he&#8217;s a celebrity, the outlet noted.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve done about six tournaments and I&#8217;ve been on the podium in every one,&#8221; the athlete added. &#8220;But he&#8217;s probably the toughest competitor I&#8217;ve had – he certainly lived up to his Bane character, that&#8217;s for sure.&#8221;</p>

<p>The &#8220;Venom&#8221; star reportedly wasn&#8217;t adverse to those who did recognize him and took time out to take photos with fans.</p>
<p>&#8220;Everyone recognized him but he was very humble and was happy to take time out for people to take photographs with him,&#8221; the spokesperson at the tournament shared. &#8220;It was a real pleasure to have him compete at our event.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Oscar-nominated actor, an accomplished blue belt in the self-defense discipline, ended up taking home the gold at the fighting competition.</p>
<p>Last month, &#8220;The Dark Knight Rises&#8221; star participated in a jiu-jitsu competition for REORG, where he took home two medals, the <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/09/21/tom-hardy-secretly-enters-and-wins-jiu-jitsu-competition-in-england/">New York Post</a> noted.</p>

<p>In 2011, Hardy talked about what he did to physically prepare for his film that year, &#8220;Warrior.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I did two hours boxing a day, two hours Muay Thai, two hours jiu-jitsu followed by two hours choreography and two hours of weightlifting seven days a week for three months,&#8221; he said. &#8220;So come on! You have to really want to do that, so it was a challenge.&#8221;</p>

<p>One of the people involved in the scuffle was kicked out by security, the outlet noted. It is unclear what started the altercation, but after the person left, the concert reportedly went on without any more problems.</p>

<p>Two kangaroos at the Mount Taylor Nature Reserve in Canberra, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/australia">Australia</a>, put on a fight worthy of a Pay-Per-View slot in a video captured by a passerby and posted to social media Thursday.</p>
<p>The kangaroos spun around while duking it out for a few seconds before one finally got the upper hand and shoved his opponent through a nearby fence. A loud crash is heard as the kangaroo flies through the metal fence, and the victor stands beside the destruction, staring at the gaping hole it created.</p>

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>Neither of the kangaroos appeared to be hurt in the dustup. The kangaroo that was thrown through the fence was later seen hopping down the road perfectly fine, TMZ <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2022/08/25/kangaroo-fight-brawl-metal-fence/">reported</a>.</p>
<p>Kangaroos are known for their exceptional boxing skills. Males often fight for dominance and access to females, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCcLMNcWZOc&amp;t=45s">according</a> to BBC Earth. A young kangaroo will even begin practicing his fighting immediately after leaving his mother’s pouch.</p>
<p>The animals have also grappled with people. In June, Newsweek <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/man-fights-attacked-kangaroo-australia-1711987">reported</a> on a video showing an Australian man, Cliff Des, wrestling with a kangaroo after the creature came running after him. Des grabbed a stick off the ground to help fend off the attacking kangaroo before finally pinning it to the ground to calm it down.</p>
<p>Des explained to Australia’s “Today” show that he saw the six-foot kangaroo in the garden “trying to rip [his] little dogs out of the yard.”</p>
<p>&#8220;I went near it, about 30-foot away to try to shoo it away, but it didn&#8217;t want to go away,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I thought this guy means business, he was going to mongrel me if I didn&#8217;t, I took him to the ground.&#8221;</p>
<p>While Des eventually subdued the animal, the kangaroo bit his fingers and clawed his head and legs.</p>

<p>The United Airlines worker caught on video fighting with a passenger at Newark International Airport has been fired.</p>
<p><a href="https://pix11.com/news/local-news/new-jersey/united-worker-fired-after-video-of-bloody-brawl-in-newark-airport-company-says/">PIX 11 New York</a> reported Tuesday that the employee, who had been involved in the brawl with former NFL player and current CFL wide receiver Brendan Langley, had been fired. The employee was reportedly a member of United Ground Express, the ground handling subsidiary of the airline. The video of the fight went viral on <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-video-of-united-employee-being-beaten-up-at-newark-airport-goes-viral">Monday</a>.</p>
<p>“United Airlines does not tolerate violence of any kind at our airports or onboard our planes and we are working with local authorities in their investigation of this matter,&#8221; a spokesperson for United Airlines said in a statement Tuesday, via PIX 11. &#8220;United Ground Express informed us that the employee has been terminated.&#8221;</p>
<p>Langley was also suspended by the <a href="https://www.stampeders.com/2022/05/24/brendan-langley-suspended-indefinitely/">Calgary Stampeders</a> Tuesday. “The Stampeders take matters such as these very seriously,” said Stampeders President and General Manager John Hufnagel. “After learning details of the incident including the filing of a criminal charge, we are indefinitely suspending Brendan Langley.” The statement added that while on suspension, Langley is not permitted to enter the team facility or have any involvement with the team. He was signed to the team in February with expectations to try out during training camp.</p>
<p>Langley <a href="https://twitter.com/trllang/status/1528805451269283840?s=20&amp;t=DheJ1l6T_D4R2kafH_1kmg">defended himself</a> on Twitter Monday evening, blasting <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2022/05/23/united-airlines-worker-punches-passenger-fight-newark-airport/?adid=social-tw">TMZ</a>, which first reported the story, for spinning a narrative about the altercation without all the facts. &#8220;[I<span class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0">t&#8217;s] crazy how u can get assaulted by an actual airline employee and defend urself, but media will run the narrative that they want to… this is the problem in our society today smh [don&#8217;t] believe everything u read!&#8221; Langley wrote. &#8220;</span><span class="r-18u37iz">@TMZ </span>tbh this is s***** of yall.

<p>The fight broke out on May 19. In the <a href="https://twitter.com/barstoolsports/status/1528518303437795328?s=20&amp;t=ZJVy-Bqm89D7TDN_DSIr1Q">video</a>, both Langley and the United worker appear to square up against one another. Then, unexpectedly, the United worker slaps Langley across the face and shoves him. A woman in the background urges the two to stop fighting. &#8220;You saw that s***?&#8221; Langley shouts at a witness before punching the United worker in the face. The worker stumbles back into a luggage gate as Langley punches him again, causing him to tumble over the gate and onto a conveyor belt. The employee, visibly bloodied and with a large wound around his eye, gets up and approaches Langley again. Langley backs off and the two exchange words. &#8220;He works at the airport and he assaulted me,&#8221; Langley tells another employee who approaches the two. Witnesses told TMZ that the altercation stemmed from the fact that Langley used a wheelchair to tote his luggage instead of a luggage cart.</p>

<p>The second annual &#8220;Josh Fight&#8221; took place in Lincoln, Nebraska, over the weekend.</p>
<p>The event, which originated in 2020 as a tweet that went viral, raised more than $20,000 for the Children’s Hospital &amp; Medical Center in Omaha. More than 200 people, Joshes and non-Joshes alike, showed up to Bowling Lake Park in Lincoln at noon Saturday, armed with foam pool noodles, to battle for the honor of being named the &#8220;Number 1 Josh,&#8221; the Lincoln Journal Star reported.</p>
<p>“Lincoln, you’ve done it again,” event organizer Josh Swain said, via the <a href="https://journalstar.com/news/local/lincolns-josh-fight-sequel-determines-little-josh-will-keep-his-title/article_fc5afc6d-7e79-546d-aac1-7af5d35a085d.html">Lincoln Journal Star</a>. “The enthusiasm from everybody here was just incredible.&#8221; Swain, a native of Tucson, Arizona, organized the first Josh fight in 2021, after one of his social media posts went viral. The success of the first event prompted Swain to organize another event this year.</p>
<p>The title of &#8220;Number 1 Josh&#8221; was awarded to five-year old Josh Vinson, Jr., who also won the title during the first Josh Fight last year. Four-year-old Josh Folmar was the runner-up. Folmar secured his second-place spot in the battle wearing a &#8220;Captain Josh Sparrow&#8221; costume, the Journal Star reported. A number of other challengers wore costumes to do battle against their fellow Joshes. The event also featured a costume contest: Battle Creek, Nebraska, native Josh Rakowsky won, dressed as &#8220;The Real Josh Shady.&#8221;</p>
<p>“I think that&#8217;s amazing that they are able to take something that started off as some guy being bored texting … and then turned around and actually made something out of it,” said Tony Rupert, who attended last year&#8217;s event and returned to compete again this year. “It&#8217;s not something you hear about very often.”</p>
<p>In all, the event raised $20,576 for the Omaha Children&#8217;s Hospital. Swain also established a <a href="https://www.mightycause.com/story/Thejoshfight">fundraiser</a>, which will continue to collect donations through Monday. Fast food giant Burger King contributed $15,000, and California winery Josh Cellars said it would match the donations. Nicky McCarville, the hospital&#8217;s director of development, said that 75% of the proceeds would go toward the Charity Care program, which helps cover the costs for uninsured children. The other 25% would be donated to the <a href="http://joshuamemorial.org/">Joshua Collingsworth Memorial Foundation</a>, a nonprofit charity dedicated to spreading awareness about accidental drowning and children&#8217;s water safety. The Foundation distributed gift baskets to winners of the contests, and its mascot, Josh the Otter, appeared to spread awareness about water safety.</p>
<p>“We’re just so grateful for the Lincoln community and people that have come from all over the country and out of state to support Josh [Swain],” McCarville told the Journal Star. “He&#8217;s an incredibly kind and generous person that came up with a really fun and creative event during kind of not-so-great times.”</p>
<p>Swain told the outlet that making Josh Fight an annual event is not a certainty, but he would like to keep holding it. “There&#8217;s a number of factors in this crazy world,” he said. “I think that the hope is to keep this trend going so that we can keep the good times rolling.”</p>
<p>Josh Fight began as a simple text message that went viral on Twitter. On April 24, 2020, Swain <a href="https://twitter.com/joshswainaz/status/1253728855459639297/photo/2">tweeted</a> screenshots of a Facebook messenger group chat with more than ten other individuals named Josh Swain. &#8220;[There] can be only one,&#8221; Swain captioned the photos. In the screencaps, Swain instructed the others to meet in a field in Lincoln exactly one year later to battle for the right to keep the name. The tweet went viral, and spawned the first event on April 24, 2021. The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hundreds-show-up-in-nebraska-for-pool-noodle-fight-over-the-name-josh">first Josh Fight</a> raised more than $8,000 for the Omaha Children&#8217;s Hospital, and participants donated 200 to 300 pounds of food for the Food Bank of Lincoln.</p>

<p>Former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson responded to a video that went viral last month that showed him punching a passenger on an airplane, saying that the man who he hit had &#8220;f***ing with&#8221; him.</p>
<p>Tyson&#8217;s remarks come after TMZ released a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-mike-tyson-repeatedly-punches-man-in-the-face-on-airplane-after-being-provoked-report-says">video</a> last month showing the April 20th incident in San Francisco.</p>
<p>&#8220;He was f&#8212;&#8212; with me, man. I took pictures with this n&#8212;-,&#8221; Tyson said during a podcast episode that aired late last week. &#8220;I shouldn’t even be taking public planes. My wife gets mad that I take public planes, but what am I gonna do on a f&#8212;&#8212; plane with my friends and [a bodyguard] he&#8217;s supposed to watch me?&#8221;</p>
<p>Tyson said that the event &#8220;triggered&#8221; him and that he was happy that he was not facing charges from the incident.</p>
<p>&#8220;I just don&#8217;t f&#8212; with people because from my experience I know anybody is capable of killing you,&#8221; Tyson later added.</p>
<p>San Mateo County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said that the decision to not charge Tyson was due in-part to the behavior of the other passenger.</p>
<p>“We have reviewed the police reports of the San Francisco Police Department and the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office and have viewed the various videos collected by law enforcement from others on the airplane,” Wagstaffe <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mike-tyson-wont-face-charges-for-beatdown-of-fellow-airline-passenger">said</a>. “Our decision is that we will not file any charges against Mr. Tyson based on the circumstances surrounding the confrontation.”</p>
<p>“These include the conduct of the victim leading up to the incident, the interaction between Mr. Tyson and the victim, as well as the requests of both the victim and Mr. Tyson that no charges be filed in this case.”</p>
<p>TMZ reported at the time that witnesses said that Tyson had told the other passenger to cool it with his behavior and that Tyson lashed out when the man did not stop.</p>
<p>“Video we obtained shows Tyson throwing a flurry of blows at the man, which you can see bloodied the passenger’s forehead,&#8221; TMZ added. &#8220;The witness says Mike walked off the plane just seconds later.”</p>
<p>A representative for Tyson told a local news station at the time that the man was harassing Tyson and threw a water bottle at him.</p>
<p>“Unfortunately, Mr. Tyson had an incident on a flight with an aggressive passenger who began harassing him and threw a water bottle at him while he was in his seat,” Tyson’s representative said.</p>

<p>Former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson repeatedly punched a man on an airplane before a Jet Blue flight this week after the man was allegedly aggressive toward Tyson.</p>
<p>The incident <a href="https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/mike-tyson-punches-man-on-plane-at-san-francisco-airport-report/2870126/">happened</a> late on Wednesday night as Tyson was about to depart San Francisco after attending a 4/20 celebration earlier in the day.</p>
<p>A witness told TMZ that Tyson took a selfie with a man who apparently was overly excited to meet him and that the man did not stop pestering Tyson after taking the selfie.</p>
<p>&#8220;Eventually, though, we&#8217;re told Tyson had enough of the guy behind him talking in his ear &#8230; and told him to chill. When the guy didn&#8217;t, that&#8217;s when the witness says Tyson started to throw several punches at the man&#8217;s face,&#8221; TMZ <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2022/04/21/mike-tyson-repeatedly-punches-man-face-plane-bloodies-passenger/">reported</a>. &#8220;Video we obtained shows Tyson throwing a flurry of blows at the man, which you can see bloodied the passenger&#8217;s forehead. The witness says Mike walked off the plane just seconds later.&#8221;</p>
<p>A representative for Tyson <a href="https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/mike-tyson-punches-man-on-plane-at-san-francisco-airport-report/2870126/">told</a> a local news station on Thursday that the man was harassing Tyson and threw a water bottle at him.</p>
<p>&#8220;Unfortunately, Mr. Tyson had an incident on a flight with an aggressive passenger who began harassing him and threw a water bottle at him while he was in his seat,&#8221; Tyson&#8217;s representative said.</p>

<p>Tyson made news last month after he was confronted, along with others, by a man who pulled a gun at a rooftop bar in California. The man reportedly challenged Tyson to a fight but Tyson decided to stay calm and defused the situation.</p>
<p>“While you can’t hear exactly what was being said in the footage, eyewitnesses tell us the man was actually challenging Mike to a fight — suggesting he wanted to elevate his ‘status,’” <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20220324134010/https://www.tmz.com/2022/03/23/mike-tyson-guy-pulls-gun-fight-comedy-show/">TMZ reported</a>, adding that a man they were informed was the host/MC of the show had told the man to leave and started to shove him toward the exit, saying, “What the f*** are you doing? Get the f*** out of here. I’m not playing with you, get out of here, bro. I don’t give a f***.”</p>

WATCH: Mike Tyson Repeatedly Punches Man In The Face On Airplane After Being Provoked, Report Says

<p>Six Philadelphia-area Taco Bell employees have been terminated after they allegedly attacked a customer and his girlfriend outside the fast-food restaurant for allegedly complaining about their long taco wait time.</p>
<p>&#8220;The altercation, which was captured on camera and posted on Twitter, took place Sunday night, Feb. 24, and was apparently sparked after customers were complaining about the long wait times for their meal orders,&#8221; <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/food-drink/taco-bell-employees-seen-beating-up-customers-after-allegedly-complaining-about-long-wait-for-tacos">reported</a> Fox News.</p>
<p>Bryan Reese, the man who was attacked, posted a video of the brutal incident to Twitter, as well as photos of bloodied clothing, a police report, and his girlfriend&#8217;s scratched and cut-up neck.</p>
<p>Reese claims he was initially offered a $20 gift card from the restaurant after alerting the business to the assault.</p>
<p>&#8220;I was assaulted by a number of [Taco Bell] employees, when I reached out to [Taco Bell] for justice they offered a $20 gift card, they must have thought I said Birthday not Assault,&#8221; he captioned the video, which was shot by his friend.</p>

</div>
<p>According to ABC6, Reese said he and other customers were waiting some 45 minutes for taco orders. They were reportedly told by staffers at the restaurant that they were overwhelmed by GrubHub orders.</p>
<p>Reese said the complaints &#8220;eventually bothered the employees enough that three of them jumped over the counter and followed him outside, where his girlfriend was waiting, and began to beat up the pair,&#8221; Fox notes.</p>
<p>&#8220;I backed out of the store. They continued to follow me. They put me on the ground, and I don&#8217;t really remember too much else. Except for when I got up my girlfriend was on the ground being beat, too. She wasn&#8217;t even in the store at the time,&#8221; Reese told ABC6.</p>
<p>Reese claims he was initially told by the business that he could not have the names of the employees who assaulted him and his girlfriend. He has since received their names and plans to press charges.</p>
<p>The employees involved in the fight have been fired, Taco Bell confirmed to Fox News.</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re shocked and disappointed to see this situation; we and our franchisees do not tolerate this behavior. The franchisee who owns and operates this location is retraining its staff, and all team members involved have been terminated,&#8221; a statement from the chain says.</p>
<p>The same Philadelphia-area Taco Bell location was hit with more bad press this week when a GrubHub employee said he was threatened and chased out of the restaurant by employees.</p>
<p>&#8220;The manager told me there was nothing they could do, that Grubhub was overpowering their regular customers and they couldn&#8217;t handle it,&#8221; said GrubHub employee Kyle Scott, <a href="https://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/2019/03/06/grubhub-driver-details-violent-threats-slurs-taco-bell-employees/amp/">according</a> to CBS Philly.</p>
<p>&#8220;They were calling me [expletive], we&#8217;re not making your [expletive] order,&#8221; Scott recalled. &#8220;Call Grubhub and have them cancel it. The cashier then proceeded to tell me she&#8217;s not making my order.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t know why they would get that upset, to hop over the counter and start vandalizing, trying to fight customers or delivery drivers,&#8221; Scott added.</p>
<p>&#8220;Taco Bell says they will retrain the remaining workers at the store. The six employees shown in Tuesday&#8217;s violent video have been terminated,&#8221; CBS Philly noted.</p>

Crime

Philadelphia

<p>On Friday, numerous Kenwood High School students in Baltimore, Maryland physically attacked a fellow classmate for wearing a shirt with a Confederate flag on it, students say. A video of the apparent brawl, wherein multiple students are seen assaulting a classmate as a teacher unsuccessfully tries to break up the mayhem, has since made the rounds on social media.</p>
<p>School officials <a href="https://www.facebook.com/FOXBaltimore/">confirmed</a> to WBFF Fox 45 that &#8220;there was a fight of some sort&#8221; in the classroom, though they declined to comment further.</p>
<p>According to witnesses in the school, the male student was brutally attacked while sitting in a ninth grade classroom solely for wearing the shirt.</p>
<p>&#8220;The people were just randomly seeing the guy and hearing about him wearing a shirt like that, and when they saw him, they decided to be rash about it,&#8221; said Kenwood student Alex Wilkinson.</p>
<p>Wilkinson was in an adjacent classroom from where the fight initially broke out; it eventually poured into the hallway.</p>
<p>&#8220;I definitely saw just a bunch of people just screaming at him from really up close,&#8221; he added.</p>
<p>&#8220;He was minding his business, honestly,&#8221; said Tra&#8217;shaw Holmes, another student. &#8220;They had no right touching him.&#8221;</p>
<p>Holmes&#8217; mother asked, &#8220;Why would his parents let him wear it &#8212; from the jump, knowing it was going to lead to something crazy? Knowing what&#8217;s going on in this world?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I understand that it&#8217;s a controversial item. As a historian, I&#8217;d like to keep it in our history, of course, naturally,&#8221; said Nicole Wilkinson, mother of student Alex Wilkinson.</p>
<p>&#8220;You know, it was just inappropriate for him to be wearing it in school,&#8221; she added.</p>
<p>Another parent from the Kenwood <a href="https://www.facebook.com/FOXBaltimore/">posted</a> a photo on Facebook of the student who was attacked. &#8220;My 10th grader sent me this picture! I would like to know what happened to dress code and school rules??&#8221; she captioned the photo. &#8220;Why would someone be allowed to wear this to school and not be told to change it? Just horrible.&#8221;</p>
<p>Community members commenting on the news story posted varying opinions with regard to the assault.</p>
<p>&#8220;The people on this thread that are saying the kid deserved it based on his clothing choice are no better than saying a girl in a short skirt is asking to be raped or a man with an expensive watch deserves to be robbed,&#8221; wrote Amy Strawser. &#8220;There is absolutely no excuse for this level of violence on anyone, much less a child.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;No excuses to jump a kid in school for a shirt. Stop blaming the kid for wearing a shirt. Blame the kid who attacked the other for nothing, it&#8217;s a shirt, it&#8217;s cloth, no reason to attack,&#8221; commented Jason Shaner.</p>
<p>&#8220;He got everything he was looking for,&#8221; said Tasheira Carr.</p>
<p>&#8220;Here to see who says &#8216;but, its only a shirt,'&#8221; wrote Kinnis Williams. &#8220;I don&#8217;t agree with jumping him but he shouldn&#8217;t have had on the shirt.&#8221;</p>
<p>Shy Ward made the case for school uniforms. &#8220;So alot [sic] of caucasians blame this on the black students and black people feel the opposite way no party was right but this is a prime example of why schools need uniforms,&#8221; she said.</p>
