No injuries were reported, but both were charged with domestic battery.

Those are valid charges. If you put your hands or any other thng on anyone against their will it is a crime. And the crime gets more and more serious if the object is capable of causing death or great bodily injury, or if marks or wounds are created in the course of the altercation. We cannot go around creating disturbances, and causing fear or grief to each other by getting physical without risk of being charged wih a crime.

Anyone who can beat another person seriously enough with a banana to cause "great bodily harm" has got skills.

 Happened: In The News

Burgers, french fries, and even punches were thrown at a Wendy's fast food restaurant drive-thru window--in a fight involving customers and employees of Wendy's in Kalamazoo, MI, two people were arrested.
 
Kalamazoo police said that four customers were waiting in a vehicle at a Wendy's drive-thru window, telling Wendy's employees that their fast food order was incorrect. Police said hurled sodas, hamburgers and french fries were thrown at a Wendy's employee who was inside--hit by the food.
 
The assaulted Wendy's drive-thru window employee then returned the food assault, police say, now throwing food at the vehicle, hitting the vehicle with a drink, ketchup and french fries.
Two people who had been in the vehicle, when the food fight first occurred, then went inside the fast food chain location, where a physical fight with Wendy's employees began onsite--and even chairs being thrown.
 
Two of the customers were subsequently arrested by police, on assault charges made by police. The original Wendy's employee involved had minor scrapes and abrasions but no need for emergency medical treatment.
 
Kalamazoo police said Wendy's restaurant employees blamed the physical and food fights on a "communication breakdown."

With stories like this, sometime words simply fail.   

I guess some people didn't learn to leave it in the school cafeteria when they grew up (...or maybe that's the problem ...    )


Aside: SherylsShado - that cat picture above just about made me spew.  That's the funniest cat picture I've seen in a while - thanks for posting it!

 I know it's not nice to find the humor in other's "misfortunes" but most of the stories above ...well, I thought everyone could use a good laugh.  It's a funny thing though because our newspaper has a story about a couples' food-fight just about every week where the police are called.  I don't know if they are lacking for real news or what the deal is!!  You're so welcome, glad you liked the cat picture!!
