Watch This Drunk College Bro Get Arrested After Freaking Out Over Mac and Cheese

A video of an underage University of Connecticut student drunkenly yelling at and assaulting cafeteria employees at the school's Union Street Market has gone viral for all the wrong reasons.

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 10 a.m.: Gatti, who previously attended UMass Amherst, was arrested in 2014 for “disorderly conduct and assault and battery on a police officer,” according to the Massachusetts Daily Collegian.

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

I think his bigotry is plain to see.

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

Most people wouldn't have behaved that well in that situation.

I was watching that mess just waiting for the manager to get fed up with him and physically throw his drunk ass out.

In 2014, Gatti was reportedly attending the University of Massachusetts when he was arrested while officers were trying to break up a party that was blocking a local street. A police report stated that Gatti shouted “f*ck you n****r” directly at one of the officers. Officers stated that Gatti was exhibiting “temper tantrum like behavior” before he was arrested for Disorderly Conduct.

Just two weeks later, Gatti was arrested again on the same street for assaulting an officer.

This is a kid who should never take another drink as long as he lives, but he will.

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...

I like how they tout that figure as if it an amazing number, when it's basically the same as saying "one third of Pittsburgh's population has heard of this."

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.
