Kid Rock Visits Popo After Being Taunted and Attacked in Atlanta
I don’t normally care about Kid Rock or what he does with his life. But when one of my friends is out hanging with the rockster while his is in town to perform at the Tabernacle - now that perks my interest. When I hear that people were taken to jail, wow-wee!
After hearing the story, it appears that Kid Rock ended up in jail essentially because he is Kid Rock (well, that and the violence). And it’s not like he acted like Ray Lewis, he was really just trying to eat in peace. While Bob (Kid Rock) and his entourage were munching out at the Waffle House they were, of course, recognized. But that wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. Conversations were nice and acquaintances were catching up when a drunk, out of control rap wannabe started barking profanities at a woman who had been talking with the Kid. After many rounds of this degrading name calling, and requests for Waffle House management to call the cops, the drunk was eventually escorted outside.
That’s when things got crazy. The drunk man didn’t leave. Instead, he pulled down his pants, gestured, yelled, ranted and carried on just outside the window where Kid Rock was trying to eat, a mere 1/2″ inch away on the other side of a glass window. The drunk man ultimately punched the window and shattered it, further ruining everyone’s already disrupted meal. No one likes shattered glass with their scrambled eggs. It was this event, this attack, that gave rise to the altercation.
How should one respond to this level of violence in light of non-existent Waffle House security? In lieu of any timely intervention by the authorities, apparently an ass-whipping was warranted, and justified (ok, maybe not justified, but certainly earned).
It is a shame that the ATL proved to be a crappy experience for Kid Rock. Even worse, it is insane that no cops would come arrest a drunken maniac in a timely fashion. But they would show up and chase down Kid Rock’s giant tour bus once the violence was over.
Waffle House will probably make tons of money selling their security video. The drunken man will likely be forgotten. But Kid Rock and his group will end up with mug shot memories of Atlanta, all because a madman decided to attack them.
