The awful incident, apparently inspired by the student's desire for bacon jalapeño mac and cheese, was posted to YouTube on Oct. 5 and had already racked up more than 98,000 views by Tuesday afternoon. Over the course of the nine-minute video, the student drops virtually every bigoted term imaginable:
"You're not welcome here," a cafeteria manager tells the drunken student. "You have booze on your breath. You told me you're underage. I just saw you with a bottle of booze you just drank it in front of me."
"Your job is a fucking joke," the disorderly patron says, dropping other insults like "fucking idiot," "f*g" and "re**rd." When other cafeteria employees attempt to intervene, he insults them too. Eventually, the man shoves the manager, at which point he is tackled by the manager and another employee who says, "I told you! You don't touch my boss."
"Fuck! I'm absolutely fucked!" he yells when police eventually arrive to arrest him. "What the fuck happened to my shoes? Shit!"
The student can be seen spitting in the manager's face during the video.

ETA:
UPDATE 11 a.m.: Heres the criminal complaint (below), in which the arresting officer claimed Gatti screamed Fuck you, nigger! to his face. Also, during Gattis 2014 arrest, he also called the arresting detective the N-word.

Also, if drunk had been black, I would say he would have been seriously injured and perhaps killed.

This is going to follow him. Good luck finding an employer, kid.

(2,931 posts)It seems he has 1 or 2 other arrests within 1 year for similar offenses. The multiplication factor of breaking his probation is what will really sting. Likely gonna be mandatory jail time...

Big deal. An asshole gets caught acting like an asshole. I'm sure this complete non-story will be all over social media and CNN for as long as they can get clicks out of it.
