My coworkers periodically find occasion to hang out together. Some individuals give open invitations to the entire staff to come and hang out at their home and some simply go to the bars to party together. Either way, they all have a single goal and that is to get as inebriated as possible.
I do neither of those things for two reasons.
One: I don't really like my coworkers.
Two: Drinking to oblivion got old when I was like, 21 and 3 days old.
As of this evening I can add a third reason to the list.
Three: The cook, his son, and a third man will beat some unsuspecting soul to a bloody pulp.
Our cook is an interesting man. He has a bit of a temper but I've yet to meet a cook without that quality...you try working in a room that feels like Hades and be chipper all the time-it's a tough proposition.
Our cook's son was recently released from prison. He's 22 and was involved in several incidents which cumulatively lead to him spending a year in prison. The cook's 19 year old daughter recently had a baby and is supported by her dad as she hasn't worked since well before the baby was born, and of course the baby's father isn't involved. The three of them have a friend who washed dishes in the restaurant for a while and gave me the creeps from day one. You know how some people are just bad news? They ooze it? Well, this guy fit the bill.
Last night one of the waitresses extended an open invitation to the entire staff to join her and her boyfriend in their home for a holiday party.
I'm not sure of the specific events leading up to the horrific bloody scene that became their living room, as all of this is via other people (I, of course, was not there, for reasons one and two)...but the long and short of it is the host wanted The Cook and his entourage (son and creepy guy) to leave. The three of them decided instead to beat him almost to death. He is hospitalized with a busted nose, he has a huge gash on his neck and he has several broken ribs. Oh, and they trashed his house; broke windows and destroyed the interior.
The Cook's son and creepy guy are both on probation, so chances are they're both going to be locked up again (his son called the waitress today begging her not to press charges). The waitress and her beau are of course pressing charges, so chances are that The Cook will also spend some time behind bars.
What do you think the odds are that The Cook's grandson will be an upstanding and contributing member of society one day?

That is absolutely hearbreaking and frightening. What in the hell is wrong w/people?? I am so sorry for the guy that was assaulted--I hope he presses every charge he can possibly press and those scumbags are held accountable for their reckless, useless, awful behaviour.
People can be such shits!! =-/
Reasons 1, 2 & 3 sound like excellent reasons to stay at home.
They sound like a walking episode of the show "Cops".
Reason # 4: I'm at home!
File that one under 'what the?' I guess someone is going to be enjoying the holidays from the wrong side of the plexiglass partition...
Hmmm. Sounds like a few students I know here at school. One of my kids is getting sent upstate to a JD center.
Oh my gosh, some people just SUCK.
Seriously, who does that?
So glad you weren't there.
