- And finally, You Don’t Mess With A Man’s Tips is brought to us this week by Gatto v. City of Statesboro, in which parents sued city after their 18-year old college student was involved in an incident at a bar located in city-owned plaza. Jeez, bit of an overreaction to some college shenanigans, no? Wait, this wasn’t about underage drinking? Apparently the kid was accused of stealing from the bar’s tip jar. The bouncer reacted judiciously and “struck Michael five times in the head/face, until he was limp and unconscious, and then dropped him on the floor of the bar. After [bouncer] heard Michael’s head hit the floor of the bar, he dragged him outside and left him.” We would like to take this opportunity to apologize for the above-mentioned overreaction accusation.
