A fight over parking spot at Green Acres Mall caught on video has gone viral. Last weekend, two women took part in a brutal brawl in the parking lot of the Green Acres Mall in New York.
A fight over a parking spot at Green Acres Mall in New York is putting the race debate in the forefront – especially with the protests taking place in Maryland and; now, New York and the lengthy debate over the usage of the word thug by President Obama to define the criminal activities in Baltimore.
Last weekend, LaToya Friday, 24 years of age, was trying to find a spot at the Green Acres Mall parking lot. Green Acres Mall is an indoor shopping mall located in South Valley Stream, New York.
The Queens woman spotted an empty parking spot with a man standing in it as if he was holding the space for another driver.
After parking in a different spot, the woman walked over to Tawana Morel, 35, also from Queens, and a heated verbal argument between the pair over the original parking spot occurred. What followed was sad, yet predictable.
The women started fighting, and Morel pinned Friday to the ground where she punched, slapped her over and over. As Morel was beating the other woman, her husband holding their baby could be seen cheering on.
In the video, the husband and father of the year nominee screams:
“Yeah baby, bust her face.”
The wise person in the Morel’s family is actually the couple’s young son who can be heard saying:
“Mom, stop it!”
A man, who was watching the fight, eventually pulled the two women apart. Via Facebook, Morel, who threw all of the punches, claimed that she is the real victim because Friday hit her first, and she was only defending herself.
According to police in Nassau County, both LaToya Friday and Tawana Morel, were charged with misdemeanor third-degree assault. The women have been released on appearance tickets, said Nassau Police Chief of Detectives Kevin Smith.
A fight over parking spot at Green Acres Mall video has gone viral with most of the comments linking the incident to the problem of race in America.
Many are wondering why are black people often the ones fighting at parking lots, and in malls for the stupidest of things. Some say that no race has the monopoly on stupidity, and the brawl has nothing to do with racism since the two protagonists are black.
