The “give me a f**king bacon, jalapeno mac and cheese” kid is booted from UConn

[Unknown Beatle]

Luke Gatti went viral -- then he went home. His profane mac and cheese rant got him kicked out of UConn

Fame is fleeting, but internet infamy will haunt you for a long, long time. The latest person to feel that swift — but long to dig out of — sting of going unwittingly viral is young Luke Gatti, the kid who just really, really wanted some mac and cheese this weekend. His recent petulant outburst has now reportedly led to an abrupt departure from the University of Connecticut.

Barstool Sports posted photos Tuesday of what appears to be Gatti packing up a car, and when the lamp’s on the sidewalk, it’s probably a sign someone is moving on. Death & Taxes, meanwhile has compiled tweets from locals saying he was kicked out. Gatti became a sensation this week after an outstanding video of his tirade, entitled “Drunk Kid Wants Mac and Cheese,” was posted on YouTube. It has over 1.6 million views so far. Ironically, within the first ten seconds of the clip, he’s seen bragging, “Yeah, yeah, I’m going to get expelled for this. Just give me some f__king bacon jalapeño mac and cheese.” It goes on in this vein for nine minutes. And it’s clear at the start of the video that he’d already been demanding the food of the gods from the school’s Union Street Market for some time. Oh the stamina of youth!

This charming self-proclaimed 19 year-old gentleman, who I would not be so presumptuous as to assume may have been operating on the toxic cocktail of Jager and white male privilege, did not seem to comprehend, as the market’s manager quite reasonably explained, “You can’t come in here with an open bottle of booze, dude. Think.” Not even when he opened his wallet! Not even when he called the manager “a f__king fag.” Not even when he began pushing the man. Police arrived after a 911 call saying a “disturbance had now become physical.” In their arrest report, police noted he’d been “verbally and physically abusive.” The clip ends, predictably, with Gatti facedown on the floor in handcuffs. Shockingly, while a student at the University of Massachusetts Gatti was arrested twice last year for disorderly conduct. During one of the incidents, he allegedly called a police officer by a racial
slur.

The Mac and Cheese Incident

1. Hmmm. Booted from UMass, now UConn.

His next stop has got to be URI, once described as "a high school after high school".

2. This kid may go postal, does he have guns? Should require a psych check

[Binkie The Clown]

3. But if he had been armed...

...he could have defended himself from that rude clerk and those nasty police officers. Yep. More guns is the solution alright.

[Warpy]

4. He needs a family intervention and a trip to rehab

This kid is one of the people who should never drink alcohol. He doesn't have an off switch and it turns him into a raging asshole.

He's likely quite reasonable when he's sober, which is why he's gotten into two colleges.

[bullwinkle428]

7. No more access to alcohol or guns EVER.

[Iggo]

5. His parents must be so proud. (n/t)

11. Where do you think he learned to talk to people like that &pull out a wallet to make things better?

They probably are proud and will support him at college number 3. He has great manners and respect for people I imagine some of that comes from how he was raised. Didn't like the union button either
Wonder what his major is? Any one know?ll
He is a competitive skier from Long Island and once called a cop arresting him a f'n n word

[Puzzledtraveller]

9. stupid privilege

seems to undermine any sense of the other.

[dhill926]

10. maybe he'll run for Speaker now...

[Octafish]

12. Kid needs boot camp for delinquents or a major boot to his pimply backsides.

Even if he's a spoiled turd whose poor parents are paying out-of-state tuition, I hope the young man gets help.
