Several people have sent me this little snippet (in which, by the way, we can play our “Guess The Race” game):

Videos posted to social media show a mob of young Black men, teens and children violently attacking a Hooters restaurant in Plano, Texas on Thursday, according to posters of the videos. Customers and staff were attacked at the entrance and windows were smashed. A woman inside the Hooters can be heard off camera exclaiming, “It’s over a f***ing chocolate bar!”

The videos show what appears to be staff retreating to the entrance from a dispute outside in the parking lot that turned violent. The staff is attacked in the vestibule, with one male staff member assuming the BLM kneeling position to no avail. [well duh — Kim]

For those who are going “Huh?” at this happening in Plano of all places, I should point out that like so many otherwise-idyllic places, Plano has its dark side [lol], which is a couple square miles straddling the Central Expressway (U.S. 75) and is home to all sorts of evil scum and wretched villainy.

To we residents of the ummmm tonier side of Plano, the Third World begins east of Alma Drive. Here’s a map, with the Hooters location marked towards the south end:

What’s interesting is that literally a parking lot away from Hooters is a redneck restaurant called Love And War In Texas, which features live country music and exotic meats on its menu.  Had this little “chocolate war” threatened this restaurant, there would have been gunplay, from both customers and staff.

My place is way off the map to the west, by the way, closer to the “corporate executive” part of Plano.

Anyway, there is a bright side to this little tragedy.  As Jim notes:

Fortunately, the Hooters calendar models event was held a few days before.

Given that this event typically features an audience of 90% truckers and rednecks (some overlap), it was fortunate indeed.  For the youths.
