"Teen Assaults Family After Cell Phone Taken Away

FALMOUTH (AP) ―Authorities say an angry Falmouth teen kicked his mother in the throat, head-butted his brother and punched and bit his father after his mom took away his cell phone to punish him. The Cape Cod Times reports that Brandon Turner pleaded not guilty in Falmouth District Court on Thursday to charges that include assault and battery with a dangerous weapon. Police say his mother took away his cell phone after he hit his 15-year-old brother Tuesday. The next day, an angry Turner attacked members of his family. The father, a corrections officer, had to use handcuffs to subdue his 18-year-old son. Police were forced to use leg shackles to get him under control.

I get sick of the Glob
leaving things out but then again, you know that, don't you, readers?

"Couple charged in fight at McDonald’s

A couple is accused of hurling coins and safety cones at McDonald’s cashiers when they did not get enough french fries. Christine Galipeau of Quincy and Eugene Jackson of Boston have pleaded not guilty to charges including assault and battery in the alleged attack Tuesday in Quincy. Police said Galipeau threw coins at one cashier and fought her when she got a small order of fries instead of a large order. Jackson is accused of throwing a cone from the mopped floor at the cashier, then tossing another one at a second cashier who wrote down their license plate number, cutting her nose as he did so (AP)."

Yeah,

Shoulda went to the upscale fat dispensary.

Sadly, those seem to be the ONLY THINGS Americans care about these days.
