I was ASSAULTED at CHUCK E CHEESE

[Pericles]

OK, at this point I assume you don't have a lawyer lined up, and the danger is that CEC video is going to disappear fast.

Send a letter via certified mail (they have to sign for it) to that CEC location, addressed to the store manager, requesting a copy of the video, offering to pay the expense of the copy. You want to be able to document you requested that video, so it can't be a "it got overwritten as standard policy", not aware of any reason to save it excuse. When CEC fails to have it when you do get a lawyer and it gets a suopena, and they don't have it - you want it to look like the CEC manager let evidence of an assault be destroyed. You want to let a jury think that CEC had something to hide because they knew you wanted that video.

open borders, unyielding illegal immigration, welfare state, and the expectation that there should be no borders is great when you're ignorant. But in the real world, you - lets repeat that, you, are the second class citizen. And you will like it.

Press charges. Don't drop it. You have to nip this behaviour and ignorance in the bud.

Don't make it obvious or it will distract from your story.

they were there when the police arrived and were allowed to stay the rest of the evening courtesy of chuck e cheese

perhaps a button?

Try to have everything already lined up for the reporter (what documentation you have). You want to make it easy for the reporter to tell your story and verify your facts.

Easy on the reporter = better coverage

Wait, a local affiliate of Fox or actual Fox News??

You better write Ron Paul across your face, cause if you wear it on your shirt they'll probably just zoom in on your face.

 

[Cinderella]

i dont kno if it was local fox or what...i called 7814672525...i think it was local

This can make your story even better for the reporter - what happened to you is not an isolated case, and CEC does not care is a bigger story.

 

[Pericles]

Don't make it obvious or it will distract from your story.

Good advice - don't let there be anything that might distract from the message about what happened to you at CEC.

 

[Cinderella]

lol it was more of a joke...i wish i had a ron paul shirt or button for that matter,,,just have my bumper sticker

I know this won't help you now but consider moving up to NH where incidents like the one you described are unheard of. Likely, the Chuck E Cheese staff up here would be armed, at least the manager. Freedom is also more prevalent here and you can open carry a firearm almost anywhere you go. Our taxes are low here, not so much in Mass.

What animals. I picked up on two things I think are inherent in today's society. The first of those is the violence of the average person. The average person is a brain dead dolt that has been desensitized to violence in general, thus they are prone to act violently in situations that don't warrant it. I was at a Dodgers' game over the summer, and some Mexican chollos threatened to beat me up and told me to "shut the fuck up", for rooting for the away team. They wanted to physically assault me. The same thing happened a couple of years ago a man who was a San Francisco Giants fan got stabbed after a game by some drunk chollos and died.

The second thing I picked up on was the laziness of the cops. Laziness and apathy is inherent in today's society. People in general have become more lazy, as have cops. All many of them(not all or even a majority) are interested in is collecting a check and picking up people for victimless crimes like pot and prostitution. They spend more time framing people for non violent offenses then prosecuting violent offenses.

Possible talking points (just to help you focus on what you want to tell)

1. misbehaving child breaks your glasses
2 can't find parents - ask manager for assistance
3 manager finds parents offers to look at video
4 you are OK at this point, if the parents pay for your glasses that ends it
5 parents are argumentative and turn violent
6 call police
7 police and manager are unhelpful
8 you seek treatment for injuries
9 no video, no police report, no lawyer
10 violent parent threatens to sue
11 turns out this is not an isolated incident at CEC

Work on getting this into 15 seconds - that will be the interview and then respond to follow up questions.

If you interview well, you will help in getting coverage, and lawyers will find you.

Bottom line is the police report = crime statistic.

No police report means there is less crime in that area.

I have problems with getting screwed over by companies all the time.

The very very best thing I've found to resolve all of my disputes with a company is by filling out a report at the Better Business Bureau http://bbb.org

I've done it for AT&T, Verizon, and a few others. I will fight with them for months, getting the run-around, but once I fill out that form...I get a call within days from someone who is ready to get the issue resolved.

Works every time...I know, most people don't check the BBB to check on companies before they use them, but most big companies take it seriously and hate to have a black mark on there.
