The bikini-clad Alabama woman was arrested Saturday night on a misdemeanor battery charge after she had a violent meltdown over a Whopper Jr. and fries at an oceanfront Burger King in Panama City Beach, Florida.

Smith, 31, argued with Burger King employees before jumping atop the front counter, where she swung at workers and threw a large plastic jug at them (the jug apparently was used to collect charitable donations).

In an interview, Smith said that the confrontation began after she complained to workers about the tardy delivery of the Whopper Jr. and french fries she had ordered. She recalled exclaiming loudly, “Damn, these folks are slow.” After waiting 20 minutes for the items, Smith said she flung the bag of food at workers with whom she had quarreled. Smith also copped to, among other things, throwing another customer’s drink at workers, pulling the manager’s hair, and throwing the coin jug. “We tore the Burger King up,” she remarked. “I don’t play no games.”

Describing herself as a “first-time spring breaker,” Smith, a mother of four, said she had traveled Friday to Florida with friends and three of her children, the youngest of which is two and has cerebral palsy. In anticipation of a night of drinking, Smith, pictured in the above mug shot, said she went to the Burger King to “get something in my stomach.”


***More at the link. Also, a new development in the story: she apparently http://www.thesmokinggun.com/documents/florida/bk-brawler-told-cops-real-whopper-430982">lied to the police about her identity. I guess she didn't have any ID on her since she was wearing a bikini at the time of her arrest. Her real name is actually Nekiva Vonte Hardy. Her rap sheet includes arrests for cocaine possession, criminal mischief, and hindering prosecution.

1. That is unacceptably slow!

[aSpeckofDust]

2. Damn it Florida. ONE week, just one without this kind of embarrassing..

.. behavior.

[William769]

9. Well in defense of Floridians, this whack job wasn't one of us.

[csziggy]

40. Florida needs an ad campaign like the "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas" one

I bet crap like this happens in any vacation area, but Florida gets picked on because of it.

[wysimdnwyg]

21. In March? Not possible

You'll have to wait until well after Spring Break is over to have any hope whatsoever of a calm week.

[Keith Bee]

48. Hey, YOU elected Scott

(No, not you personally, but still...)

[FSogol]

3. "When Bikini-Clad Women Attack!" This Fall on Faux!

:shrug:

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

22. O'Loofah is gonna be all over that one. nt

[joeybee12]

4. I am just amazed at how prevelant this is...

Burger Kings being slow, that is.

[Marr]

5. Idiocracy.

What a sickening display.

[cleanhippie]

6. What the fuck is wrong with people? Not only is that woman out fo control, the other yahoos

start throwing condiments and chairs. I don't get it. Where does the sense of entitlement and superiority come from?

I hope the woman, and several of the "bystanders" get some time in the pokey. Idiots.

[Codeine]

16. The vast majority of people are scum. Always have been. Always will be. nt

[deutsey]

7. Man, there are so many things wrong here, I don't know where to begin n/t

[seabeyond]

8. that was about disgusting. this is who we are? hm.... people seemed to enjoy the show. nt

[KurtNYC]

15. and just look at the "top rated" comments

It's a race to the (bikini clad) bottom.

[dana_b]

30. no. This isn't who you, I and a lot of folks here are

this is who SHE and a lot of those idiots are.

I used to be a flight attendant and also a fast food restaurant manager. I have seen this crap for years but luckily most people are sane and NOT idiots.

[seabeyond]

33. really

i have never seen anyting like it, even close, even a little or kinda. before youtube there was so much in life i didnt have to participate in. i wonder if we are changing as a people, or now it is visible

[dana_b]

38. I think it is a lot more visible although

life is getting more stressful so who knows? Maybe the stress of life is making SOME folks freak out more.

[Lefta Dissenter]

10. HA, waiting for an order at Burger King

More violence than we've seen in Madison with as many as 189,000 protesters gathered together at any one time! :scared:

[bif]

11. Wow, the comments are pretty disgusting

What a bunch of racist slime.

[Shagbark Hickory]

12. If only yall could have had her at the wisconsin demonstrations.

[BobbyBoring]

13. The comments are almost worse than the story.

Obama is an uber liberal? liberal media? Again, I ask. Is there a parallel universe? If so, how do we make it go to Mars or somewhere where we don't have to deal with it's absurdity?

[Johonny]

20. +1

[geardaddy]

27. Yep,

They're crying because their racist comments are being pulled.

[SolutionisSolidarity]

37. Not at youtube.

The highest ranked comments could have been posted from a klan rally.

[geardaddy]

42. Glad I missed those.

[JI7]

55. youtube is always full of bigoted hateful ugly comments no matter what the video is about

[Bobbie Jo]

46. Of all the utterly disgusting comments,

THAT'S what you latched onto?

WTF?

[Codeine]

14. What a piece of shit.

"I don't play no games." :eyes: Some people need to quit breathing up valuable oxygen.

[Xenotime]

17. Why are the guys grabbing their crotches?

[Canuckistanian]

18. "BK Brawler"

:rofl:

[Jack Rabbit]

19. This woman needs to be represented by an attorney

The first thing he would tell her is that she really, really ought to exercise her right to remain silent.

Cocaine possession on her rap sheet? This begs the question if she was in possession of cocaine at the time of the the incident and her remarks to the press. What? That is a ridiculous thing to say about a woman dressed only in a bikini? Well, then, check up her nose. Her behavior makes me thing that where she was hiding it.

[Stevenmarc]

24. It doesn't appear that silence is her forte.

It doesn't really come as any surprise that stupid people are inclined to behave stupidly.

[TheManInTheMac]

57. As Ron White would say...

She has the right, but not the ability.

[KurtNYC]

23. Just a trend -- monarchs everywhere are falling

this 'Burger King' guy has been in power for more than 40 years. "Have it your way" is his version of the Big Lie -- he is a dictator! My way is medium rare, on toasted rye bread with grilled onions and mustard. Can I get that??? Hell no.

With self-contradicting names like "Whopper Jr." what do they expect ?

[Codeine]

26. The People's Republic of Burgers will triumph!

La lucha continua!!

[dionysus]

32. nicely played.

:thumbsup:

[Jack Rabbit]

41. Are you saying that Burger King is telling Whoppers?

Just wondering.

[KurtNYC]

51. the Burger King should have learned from the French Revolution

when the people are hungry they will rise up. Or the Romans but this was all 'circus' and no 'bread.'

[Jack Rabbit]

52. The Koch Brothers should have learned from the French Revolution

By the way, Dave and Charlie both need haircuts, don't you think?

[WatsonT]

44. ha!

[Zephie]

25. Every time I see stories like this I think that these can't be real people

That they have to be part of some elaborate TV/Viral Video set up, and they're just playing a part or something. It's crazy, but I just can't wrap my head around the idea that a person is acting this way because they see it as a reasonable response to the world around them. What causes people to be so uncivilized and just think that is an alright way to be?

[Taverner]

36. I'm still floored that she's 31

I mean, I could see doing Spring Break in your 20s, if you were really that desperate


But your 30s????

[TheMightyFavog]

58. Nontrad, perhaps?

One of the guys who lived next door to me my first year in college was 30 and in his last semester. He was attending on the GI Bill after an 8 year stint in the Navy.

[ProfessionalLeftist]

28. Can't decide what's more appalling - the video or the first comment...

...jeeze. No wonder I prefer animals to humans.

[Taverner]

29. Teens + Alcohol = stupidity and barf

[KurtNYC]

34. she is 31 years old

I don't think alcohol is required for stupidity, although at some level it pretty much guarantees it.

[Taverner]

35. Wow - 31 and still doing Spring Break?

That's sad

[QC]

45. We see all kinds of things during spring break around here.

The most remarkable thing about this incident is that it's on video.

[krabigirl]

50. With 4 kids. Even sadder. Nt

[JI7]

54. maybe it was a family vacation while her kids were on spring break

[dana_b]

31. wow - I feel for those kids n/t

[StarlightGold]

39. Good grief

what sub-animal crap. I feel badly for her 4 kids as their middle-aged mom goes on a rampage during her Spring Break celebrations. How are they going to turn out with this kind of example? Hopefully, not near me or mine...

[WatsonT]

43. “I don’t play no games.”

Well at least she's repentant.

Oh and she has four kids. Awesome, but they'll turn out great.

[Rage for Order]

59. And she needed to get something in her stomach...

Before she got her drink on

Dear god

:eyes:

[ecstatic]

47. A lot of people are losing it over fast food lately nt

[WatsonT]

53. Maybe it's a function of the type of people who frequent fast food joints

[krabigirl]

49. Trash, disgusting people. WTF is wrong with this country.

[Yavin4]

56. From the artilce: "[Nekiva Vonte Hardy], a mother of four,...."

"Describing herself as a “first-time spring breaker,” Smith, a mother of four, said she had traveled Friday to Florida with friends and three of her children, the youngest of which is two and has cerebral palsy. In anticipation of a night of drinking, Smith, pictured in the above mug shot, said she went to the Burger King to “get something in my stomach.”

In another thread about an 11 year old who was gang raped, I posted that the parents of the suspects should sholder most of the blame, not rap music or porn. I said that some folks are parents when they should not.

This woman provides a textbook example of what I was referring to.

[Catherine Vincent]

60. Pitiful. nt
