I am so glad they got these thugs.
Criminals. Pure and simple. The worst kind too. Low life human trash. That’s all I can say about these two.
And I’m so glad they were arrested.
If you haven’t seen the original video, here it is. Warning, it contains senseless violence, but understanding the backstory is what makes the justice so sweet. Also, note that while the camera says 2010, it actually just happened this week, the date was incorrectly set in their security camera. So it’s not old news.
Take a look:
And now these animals have been caught!
From the Tribunist:
The video of a couple mercilessly beating the female owner of a restaurant in Georgia and then punching her fifteen year old daughter in the face took the internet by storm late last month. The brazen attitude of the couple along with the reason for the beating, allegedly cold chicken, struck a nerve with just about anyone who viewed the short surveillance video.
As of this morning, the couple has surrendered to authorities. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution is reporting that that Nathaniel and Latasha Smith turned themselves in to the Bryan County Sheriff’s Office on Wednesday. The Smiths face aggravated assault charges stemming from the June 22 attack.
Nathaniel Eric Smith, left, and Latasha Smith brutally attacked a local restaurant owner and her 15-year-old daughter after they were unhappy with their meals. The incident left the pair with black eyes. The mother had a broken nose. The fight was captured on surveillance video and released by police in the hopes they might receive more information about the attackers.
And they did. The identity of the suspects was quickly determined, but they remained at large for more than two weeks.
The two created a commotion at the Qwik Chick takeout stand because they said their chicken was cold and their meals did not include enough fries. The store’s owner, Jeanette Norris, had already apologized and refunded the couple’s money.
According to Jeanette, the couple went “berserk” and began hitting the store’s window. When Jeanette went outside to tell the couple that the police had been notified, Latasha ran at Jeanette and began mercilessly beating her.
Jeanette’s 15-year-old daughter then gets out of the passenger seat of their truck to check on her mother who was just brutally assaulted. As the 15-year-old passes the couple, Nathaniel sucker punches the young girl. The two then take off in their silver-colored 2007 Cadillac Escalade, according to police.
The hit sent the petite-framed girl hurling backwards, and she is seen stumbling and having trouble keeping her balance. Customers who saw the incident began to comfort the young girl and began tending to Jeanette. Shortly before the video ends, the 15-year-old breaks down into tears.
One customer, who couldn’t believe what he’d just witnessed, told a local Georgia news outlet, “Who does that? Who punches a child like she’s a grown man standing there? He needs putting in jail.” The girl suffered a concussion in the attack.
