Oh, I almost forgot. I do have a story off the top of my head.
I was a freshman at the University of Southern Indiana (many years ago, it was about midnight) and four buddies and I were eating at a Denny's not far from USI. Immediately, as we entered, there was a group of Mexican "thugs" if you will. They were carrying on and being loud, disrespecting customers in general, old folks too. Just disgusting behavior in general.
Unfortunately, we were seated directly behind them and this attracted their wrath. They were staring us down every time one of the 7 of them got up to wander around and go play around the restrooms, as well as muttering profanities under their breath knowingly within earshot. Not one of us said a word, completely ignored them. They began to file out harassing people on the way.
My buddy doesn't notice one of them still at the register and says very loudly "Thank God!!" (thinking they were all gone). This was all the excuse they needed to go all out. He approaches our table very loudly and cursing. We sit motionless. My buddy grabs his fork (we were too young to CC) and slips it under the table before the guy gets to us and can see anything.
By then, his other buddies waiting in their Cadillac begin to file in and join in the ruckus. Employees have already called the police by then and try to usher them out saying "The police are on their way so you better get outta here!". They start hollerin' about how they're from NY and we're going to "get it" when we leave. They said they were going to wait for us in the parking lot. The entire time not one of us said a single word. This ordeal went on for about ten minutes and I was surprised not one of us mouthed back.
The Denny's employee was pretty serious about our safety and really insisted we stay inside until the police arrive, as we were just wanting to leave at this point. At least we had finished our meal by then and it was on the house for not escalating the situation. Police arrive and inform us "We found a Cadillac with Texas plates packed full of Mexican thugs and we identified the vehicle and occupants as the aggressors. You boy's were pretty lucky, they were waiting for you in an empty lot of a closed Home Depot. There were more of them than you.". I guess they thought they were hard ya' know, being from NY and all with TX plates
. Well, they got to find out what a holding cell in So. IN. is like
. The way the police made it seem, without giving away info on their case, these thugs may have had a crappy cut down shotgun, a rusty old 'throw away' revolver and quite possibly a good amount of 'product'.
For no good reason, these guys probably have weapons charges and possession of amounts of product worthy of an intent charge, as well as disorderly conduct and threatening bodily harm.
My buddies and I came out smelling like flowers with our very own nice Denny's lady to escort us to our car
