This is more than 36 hours old now; I can’t believe there isn’t a thread on the Dope already. [Video here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDFHjVXYP5s). (NSFW) Synopsis: drunk 19 year old behaves like an ass, demands bacon jalapeño mac & cheese, assaults the manager of the cafeteria/restaurant and is eventually taken down hard and then arrested. The co-worker of the manager who did the take down showed remarkable restraint; kudos to him. BIG kudos to the manager for remaining professional despite the abuse he was taking. And a final thanks to the cop for nothing gentle with this asshat. Congratulations, Luke Gatti! You’re not just internet famous; you’re internet _in_famous! ---

He does not appear drunk, on alcohol at least. ---

What a dick. Got what was coming to him. Hope he gets expelled and fined. ---

He has a record of douchitude. First he was [arrested for being belligerent and yelling a racial slur at a (apparently white) police officer](http://onlyintherepublicofamherst.blogspot.com/2014/09/what-not-to-call-police-officer.html). Not two weeks later and on the same street, [he was arrested again](http://onlyintherepublicofamherst.blogspot.com/2014/09/repeat-party-offender.html). Looks like only garden-variety douchiness now. Future employers will love Google for how easy it make their hiring decision. > [@syncrolecyne](#): > > I just feel sorry for the person who had to change his diaper. Pic of his dad in my second link, looking like he wants to be anywhere else. ---

I don’t get it. Some random college kid was being a disorderly asshole in the student union, so they arrested him. It doesn’t really seem like news to me. He wasn’t a star athlete or anything, was he? ---

Poor little sod got drunk and was not entirely polite — although he didn’t glass anyone and his antagonists were not that polite either. A lot of fuss about nothing. A million people get drunk every day, if no-one videos it it’s ignored. ---

I drop my phone in the toilet or spill drinks when I’m very drunk. Maybe do a Hasselhoff-style burger demolition. I don’t call strangers fags or niggers. ---

The guy is clearly a bit of a dick. On the other hand, I can’t help but feel uncomfortable at the fact that he has been hung drawn and quartered by the internet for this crime. This guy can’t serve his time and then try to make something of himself, people are actually delighted at the fact that for the rest of his life his career prospects have been torpedoed because he got drunk and caused a scene in a restaurant. Picture this. A guy gets arrested for drunk and disorderly, goes to court and is found guilty, and the judge sentences him to the following: 120 hours community service, £200 fine, banned from attending university, banned from ever applying to any high prospect job or company, legally bound to inform everybody he meets that this incident occurs. If that sentence was handed down straight I think people might find it excessively harsh, but in effect thats what has happened to him. He is a dick, I don’t like him, but a little perspective wouldn’t go astray. ---

What a tool. Kudos for the manager’s restraint after being shoved several times. Reminded me of a college job at a seafood restaurant where I had to break up a fight outside. There was a planter full of oyster shells and when one guy grabbed a shell and tried to gouge the other guy’s face, it was time for the chicken wing wrestling hold. ---

Maybe they shouldn’t be ignored. Maybe calling attention to this is a good thing. ---
