Violence

So this Filipino woman comes up to me to get her daughter's drawing done. I see more incentive in the daughter wanting it, the mother was simply ok with it. I do the drawing, I like it. I tear it off, and clearly before the mother even has enough time to really evaluate she gives me this over-the-top grimace.

The mother doesn't like it. I ask why.
She says "The nose." Big mistake. I did not beast that, she just had a short puffy Filipino nose, and I say "What? A cute button nose? How could you dislike that?"

She says "Oh, it's the eyes." I say "Well, it seems like you aren't too keen on mild exaggeration, I don't suggest wasting your time on a caricature again, I doubt you'll have an easy time finding one you like." She walks up to the rest of her family.

Pissed off, I go to lunch; an hour as it was still summer hours. As I return to the Castle area, I see a few cop cars. Interesting. As it turns out, a man who got angry about his kid not being able to ride [Joust]. He punched the ride attendant, who then proceeded to calmly call security, as it was a pansy punch. He then lept onto one of the horses and proclaimed "I am clearly over 130 pounds, and it's not breaking!" A woman in line calmly asked the man to stop creating a scene. The man gets off the horse, walks up to the woman and "attempts to knock her hat off." He hit her in the face in the process. The woman slapped him harder than he punched the ride attendant. At this point the people in line were very angry at him, many wives were holding back their husbands from beating the crap out of him. He then runs deeper into the ride and hops the fence near the entrance to the Barbecue. The security at that point were looking for him. It all caught up with him and no charges were pressed seeing as how no real damage was done.

I thought this man looked oddly familiar. My suspicions were confirmed by one of the Body Artists that went behind Castle, as it turns out, this guy was one of the people on the bench that the lady that rejected my drawing was with. She and her daughter were back there with him and the cops. I guess her day ended up a lot worse than mine.
