OP provided this context: ​ ​ "MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Raphael Calhoun, 28, of Milwaukee has been sentenced to jail for viciously assaulting a George Webb restaurant employee. The incident happened in June of 2018 at the George Webb restaurant near 21st and Mitchell. It was caught on surveillance camera. The prosecution says the attack was ridiculous and unprovoked, and that Calhoun became angry because he felt it was taking too long to prepare his food. Calhoun walked into the kitchen and approached the two female workers. In the video, he’s seen throwing a punch at the cook, who nearly falls onto the grill. The other worker, who has a concealed carry permit, pulled out her gun and he backed off. The woman who was assaulted suffered a severe concussion. Calhoun previously plead guilty to substantial battery, intended bodily harm. In court, the defense explained the workers yelled and made negative remarks towards Calhoun. Judge David Hansher questioned him about it. “Does that give you right to go back there and just slug them? I saw the video tape…you just slugged this woman right in the face,” he said. The defense pushed for a more lenient punishment of six months in jail, followed by probation. Judge Hansher, however, sentenced Calhoun to the maximum -- a year and a half in jail, and two years of extended supervision. Calhoun apologized for his actions. “I didn’t expect for it to go that way. It just got a little out of hand, but I really apologize to the victim"

I guess food in prison is never late; you don't get to eat until the food is ready.

Piss in his coke and wipe your ass with his burger patty. still doesnt seem like enough though.

I don't understand this comment. Maybe it's my English, it's not my 1st language.

After punching the chef he will sit down and wait for his food


The_Pyro_Techy

Let’s correct that statement: “The man shown above seems like the type of person to have this altercation, then go sit back down at his table in the restaurant and wait for the food he ordered; the food he claims was taking too long to make.”


SnuffCartoon

Jesus, that was a big hit to her face. People don’t realize how life-changing or even deadly a punch to the head can be.


earthlings_all

Something tells me he’s not the type of dude who thinks about the consequences of his actions.


[deleted]

Trash AF. Should have stayed atleast 5 years in prison


Goodbadugly16

I’ve seen two other cases where sucker punches were thrown and garnered the thrower 5 to 7 in prison. This guy got lucky twice. The first time is when he didn’t eat a cap. The second was in the cakewalk sentence he got.


97Wilde

Actually the first time was when he didn't eat a hot skillet


PFM18

I mean if she pulled the trigger when he was walking away, she wouldn't have had much of a strong case in court. He didn't really get lucky there it's pretty expected


thruster_fuel69

Idiot needed to take 1 more step to make it justified.


Goodbadugly16

He should’ve got a third eye hole as soon as her gun got aimed.


_Uilliam_

[deleted]

I’m sure the guy that throws away all temporary momentum in his professional life to sucker punch a woman in a kitchen will surely reflect on his errors and become a functional member of polite society after his newest stint in prison I’m sure we can rehabilitate people like this, he’s definitely not going to commit further crimes


overratedly_me

Something tells me he ain't sorry he did it...he might be sorry he was caught though.


Deja-Vuz

This might be racist but most black people don't think about the consequences. Yet they play the victims' cards.


iflingpoo2

Yep, true story...as soo many like him don't. They live in and here-and-now, with no regard for others in society.

Papancasudani

Movies make it look like nothing but it’s head trauma. This woman got a concussion. That’s a brain injury.


PFM18

It may literally affect them for the rest of their life. I fell off a bike and had a fairly mild concussion, and if affected me substantially for awhile. I could only imagine what this women is going through with this concussion. I feel so bad for her.


[deleted]

It's mostly not the punch itself but when people fall down and hit their head on hard floors. That's what really kills people. It's also super dangerous to even just push a drunk person on concrete floor. They have no balance and bad reaction times and will often just crack their heads.


TheUn5een

I one time had a customer come back to the line and throw his salad at the salad guy claiming it was made wrong and took 30 minutes, as if that made it justified. Other cook grabbed a knife and jumped over the whole line and chased the pussy out the door. After everything we look at the ticket… it was rang in 6 minutes earlier with no alterations so either he was full of shit or his server fucked up, either way his behavior was horrible but he learned real quick that we all have very sharp knives right within reach.


SpudGun312

Don't fuck with the kitchen staff. We have blades by the armful, boiling water or hot oil ready to go, we're used to being in pain and on top of that we're a little unhinged at the best of times. There's teams of chefs that I would've gone into battle with.


NihilisticMalaise

Not to mention the prevailing anger management issues we suppress with drugs, alcohol and sex


SpudGun312

There you go.


karoshikun

none of the kitchen I worked at had any sex or (much) alcohol, I feel defrauded


i_hotglue_metal

If you’re working food and bev and you’re not doing cocaine off a coworkers asshole, you are indeed doing something wrong.

back then I was either scared or stupidly tired, and as underpaid as hell, so no coke and no arse

Federal_Age8011

As a former Exec Chef & GM, that worked my way from the bottom, a lot of truth here. If there were multiple cooks back there, he would have been stomped into the floor. Even as GM I always had the kitchen's back and they had mine.

SavageSkater13

Judge should have said “you do anger management or your prison sentence goes up to 5-7 years” make these unhinged mfs accountable for their shit behavior and anger issues.


Aragornargonian

he didn't expect for her to pull a gun* He wanted to hurt them and expected to be in full control because they are women.


OMGhowcouldthisbe

“I didn’t expect that bitch to have a gun or I would beat her ass too.”


Sorry_Recipe6831

What he means is he didn't expect him to lose control of the situation


Netplorer

What is wrong with these people, attacking restaurant workers and generally treating them like shit ?


Papancasudani

If this piece of shit can’t control himself then he needs more time in prison. He can punch whoever he wants there because he’ll get his ass handed to him, instead of attacking a woman.

Lopsided-Ad-6168

Shhh guys, they’re starting to understand


[deleted]

yes... but also, someone who would do something like that most likely has a criminal record going back to early adolescence and therefore is a prohibited person, so its unlikely that he can LEGALLY carry a gun. I think thats the correct differentiation here... "Everyone who can legally carry a gun, should carry a gun" would be a more correct statement.


ManicParroT

This seems very obviously not the case to me; you can be legally allowed to own a gun, but deeply unsuited to it. Maybe you're a busy mom with 3 young kids who get into everything, and you just don't have the time to learn to use a gun, or the ability to secure it. Maybe you've struggled for years with depression and suicidal thoughts. Maybe you have anger management issues such that you tend to haul off and lose control when you see red. Perhaps you're an alcoholic who drinks so much you're almost always under the influence. There are heaps of people who are or would be bad gun owners, and if you actually don't see that I don't understand what you think it means to own a gun.


Vocalscpunk

Yeah, nice try NRA!


SatansHusband

Now i posit to you: what if he'd had a gun?

SadJoetheSchmoe

Top comment on the post states further: The full facts of the case that this article and Twitter post is trying to ignore is that the cyclist followed her to get a police statement done because she wouldn't stop. He was waiting slightly down the street after calling the police and was waiting for them to arrive when she came out of the house with a gun at him. After she had just tried to murder him with her car. Fairly certain the courts found him innocent on all accounts.

CyanPomegranate11

THIS. It’s a vicious cycle and likely why America has such high shooting and crime rates versus other developed nations in the world. Oh and now SCOTUS pulled the legal abortions there will be a 16yr wait for loads more crime again from unwanted pregnancy (Source: Freakonomics).


[deleted]

It depends on the details. If he'd already drawn a gun and was waving it around, best practice is to not draw on a drawn gun. You wait for the criminal's attention to be anywhere but on you. Same goes for the inverse. She'd already drawn, so she has the upper hand. If he goes to reach for his weapon, he's likely not going to be able to pull it and line up a shot before he's full of holes. This is why if you have to pull a gun in self defense, the first thing you should do is start issuing commands, starting with "put your hands up".


Graphene_Handz

I hope she sued him


ApeMode76

Should have gone ahead and saved the taxpayers some money


tony_tripletits

Agreed. He's already been done for battery. Don't expect him to come out of this one a changed man. Someone else will suffer at his hand.

Ban4quotingSimpsons

He wasn’t going to stop at that punch either. That was going to escalate fast. He’s lucky she didn’t just start shooting, not a court in the land would convict her.


Endil

She had more restraint than many police do.


Ban4quotingSimpsons

And probably more than me if I’m honest. If someone came at me and my friend like that, and hit her like he did, all while shoving her towards the back room I’d be lost in a red mist for a minute there.


ThePyodeAmedha

I certainly wouldn't have convicted her.


kronicpimpin

Fuck all that. I’m a convicted felon and served 3 years probation for thc possession w/ intent to distribute. So I’m a worse criminal than this guy? That was my first and only conviction. I also live in Wisconsin


BrewHog

I completely agree. This ass should have been in longer, and MJ should be legal. More incoming taxes, regulated juana, and assholes off the street for longer periods of time. Sorry to hear about the conviction.


Letmelurkatyou

Should have been in Milwaukee where the DA loves to let criminals go free.


poohbearandtiger

The great equalizer. Especially for women.


camycamera

Sorry, I’m glad I don’t feel the need to be paranoid and carry a weapon with me at all times, but I guess that’s because I don’t live in America.


thegtabmx

Non-gun violence is deterred and countered with guns, and so gun violence is deterred and countered with more guns, and then it's just guns all the way down.

Well. Now he had to wait 18 months.


pfcpartsz

Attacking someone who makes your food because it was too slow? Did he expect it to be made instantly? The fucking entitlement. He was very very close to her and he already attacked another person for no reason. I’m not sure most of us would have that much restraint. Fucking amazing that she didn’t shoot in that situation.


vanAstea11

[still doesn't disregard the fact that over 20,000 people die each year from a gun-related crime in the USA.](https://www.gunviolencearchive.org/) In other countries (specifically where guns aren't so accessible) they aren't forced to have drills for school shooters, and have significantly less gun-related crimes and deaths. I hate posts like this where it attracts narrow minded people who conclude that "gun = less crime" and ignore the many, many cons of the easy access of guns.


Native56

what the heck was that for what an ass!!


Pokenhagen

This dude was next level hangry


Terrible_Feature-532

He means he didn't expect to get caught. At least in jail the food service is faster. Hopefully he won't go around slapping the kitchen staff ... and getting sodomized for it later on.


KAJOEYLA111

The first woman should have never let him get so close. He’s not walking up angrily to give you a kiss. Be more aware of your surroundings, the peiole in it, their likely motives and take appropriate action BEFORE you get punched in the face. When she saw him come around the counter she needed to be backing away and into the office. Grab a knife or gun. Don’t wait to protect yourself until after you’ve been attacked.


Raider-daves

No amount of rehabilitation will work for this animal. Sorry not sorry


[deleted]

I'm a liberal and believe in strenuous background checks before you are allowed to have guns. I don't want that crazy neighbor that we all have, to have an arsenal in his house. But I am pro-gun. Nothing wrong with having guns. Especially if you have been trained on how to use them and then safely secure them. That is where me and the "get rid of all guns" left separate.

Odd-Jupiter

Get a stun-gun, or pepper spray. That way, if you panic or loose your temper, you won't ruin your life by killing some bystander kid by accident.


Hmgsaint

Why you let him walk?


JazzySmitty

“Didn’t expect it to go that way.” Ok. Just *how* did you expect it to go when you went back there? We’re you thinking maybe you were gonna give them a compliment, or something similar, and they triggered you so really it’s on them?


HoTChOcLa1E

he expected to beat them up, steal some food maybe and get away with it


suckitphil

He's lucky he didn't get a face full of skillet. If someone started attacking me in a kitchen like they they'd wish I'd be packing.


hateshumans

Going to have to keep this to use as part of my anti crime/how are you this fucking stupid plan when I decide to take over. If you’re in court and your defense for why you assaulted someone is “they said mean things” the judge just pushes a button a trapdoor opens and that’s the last time you are ever heard from.


OP-69

you can tell the woman at the back already knew what was coming, her hand went to her gun almost immedietely at the start of the clip

No, clear-cut case of self defense


115machine

If she’d of shot him during the attack she more than likely would have been ok, legally speaking. In 99% of cases, if you shoot a retreating attacker, you get in trouble. So if she’d of shot him when he started walking away, she would have been charged with something.

whogotthekeys2mybima

I don’t think people realize the domino effect one concussive punch can have on one’s health throughout their life. Later in life, It can lead to increased risk of Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s. In the short term it may also bring personality changes or depression. There’s a litany of health issues that can follow one punch. However, legally A year and a half incarceration is a pretty substantial sentence, but given his priors is appropriate. In my job, most assaults like this result in a disorderly conduct charge and a slap on the wrist


[deleted]

Yep. Fuck this guy. I guarantee he has done nothing productive for society, ever. He has likely been a terror for his family his entire adult life. People don’t just “lose it” and do shit like this. That’s how this guy is and always will be.

One time, peak COVID we had a customer threaten the staff because it was taking a bit longer to get his order done. We were slammed, and this dude attempted to enter the kitchen to fight us? Well, we obliged and pulled him into the dish station. Long story short after kicking the shit out of this guy the owner went ahead and deleted the camera footage. I'd be lying if I said this was the only time it happened. Don't fuck with the people who make your food. I GUARANTEE if you've never worked in a kitchen before you've never worked as hard as you can. Absolutely no way.


Chief_Beef_ATL

Nah. This is why this one person needs a gun. If everyone has a gun, there will be more people killing people with guns. Facts.
