Wow! What is going on in this world? And it originally wasn't the customer who started the fight. According to the article, the customer wasn't happy about his haircut, and instead of paying, walked out
Obviously, walking out without having paid isn't exactly the right thing to do (the article doesn't state whether words were exchanged about the haircut. And I'm sure most barber's would try their best to make things right, if the customer wasn't satisfied.
But, it also kind of sounds as though the customer may have had an ulterior motive due to having had a couple of friends outside, who ended up stepping into the situation. But still, the barber didn't need to follow the guy 'outside.' So it seems as though there's blame to go around in this situation.
Crime-scene over haircut
PS, the only reason I bothered to post this was because when I saw what I thought was the 'name barber,' I thought it was somebody else. Otherwise, people who read this blog on a regular basis know I don't normally post things like this.
But still, there is a lesson to be learned from this. This situation was not worth getting into a 'fight' over with! When it comes to street-fights, things could quickly escalate into more than you've bargained for. And I don't care how 'tough' you may think you are. Just as this barber found out (the hard way), his customer had '2 friends' waiting outside for him! And as it turned out, the barber ended up having his arm fractured with a baseball bat.
So, was that really worth the price of a 'haircut?' I don't think so!
