>A food vendor said he was attacked with a baseball bat by an employee of nearby business Intex Auto Parts, police said.

Not just an employee, but the owner. I bet he was pleasant to work for.

The guy doing the beating owns a local auto parts store in the area. The entire video is wild, he just runs right into the food vendors tent.

That video is crazy. I love his whole "go ahead, call the cops" smug demeanor and now he's arrested.

"Allegedly"? Did I watch a different video?

[removed]

legalese: avoids libel.

The angry man had a bat, not a gun. The victim declined medical treatment, said he'd just recuperate on his own.

Just saying facts. Don't read too much into it.

I was wondering why a worker would stick their neck out like that on camera, showing their full nimby ass to the world. Him being the owner makes a looot more sense. I've known quite a few nimby construction owners in my life who act like this, they all fantasize about being violent like this guy

Yeah pre-trial it’s just safer to say allegedly than risk a libel lawsuit.

This moron posted the video on his own company's Facebook page - he actually thought that was a good idea. His business got shredded, thankfully. Hope he doesn't get off with a slap on the wrist.

edit: Just gonna add that I love that they also charged him with carjacking, not just for the assault.

I will never understand why people get worked up over food vendors. So many freakout videos of people just going apeshit over them. Do they hate delicious and cheap food?

Authoritarian-minded Karens/Kens go absolutely ballistic over the mere thought that someone may not have the correct permits for something

Also, a lot of uptight suburban folks feel that roadside vendors and/or food carts are somehow "trashy" or "dirty."

Looks like this was in the Bay Area CA.

It's because he thought the guy was an illegal immigrant and wouldn't call the cops. He said so in the video

Yeah, I've been to Asian countries where street food is common and aside from health concerns I don't see it as anything but a good thing. It's cheap, easy, and often better than you'd get in many restaurants. Also I'm sure there are unhygienic vendors but I never got sick from street food.

Racism. All of the other reasons are just a cover for racism.

He's trying to filter the customers and only keep the most ass of holes

They are some of the best food you will ever try.

He is very lucky nobody had anything more spicy as a reply to his bs.

When baseball bats are outlawed.....

You're a dum dum.

Holding a bat, hitting a table, and threatening food workers are usually seen as a deadly attempt at an assault.

Like others have said the individual has not been convicted, just charged. Hence: allegedly.

Alright. So your cool with me attacking you with this baseball bat right? Dont read too into it.

Either the best food, or will give you the most intense diarrhea you've ever had.

Hopefully one or the other, but not both or neither... 🤣😅

Or like, I dunno, ask kindly?

If it's his property it's his property, fair play, but don't attack the dude over it. If you want him to leave, ask nicely and if the guy makes a scene about it then get the authorities involved.

That's the thing, about 90% of these videos I've seen the person going full Karen doesn't have any legal reason to be involved. This is the first time I've seen one of these where it's the actual land owner (not that it makes him less shitty) and not some rando walking on the street.

Him being the owner also means he could be a continued asshole to the poor guy. If that truly is his property, he could press charges for trespassing and this asshat seems just like the kind of...pleasant...person to do that.
