Current Events > Family brawl breaks out over pancakes vs. eggs

(+) Yeah! (+)

A family's dispute over what their child should eat for breakfast ignited a violent brawl at a Flagler County home this week, deputies said.

The family feud happened at an Ormond Beach residence on Tuesday as a man was making breakfast for a child at home, according to an affidavit from the Flagler County Sheriff's Office. The 30-year-old man was making pancakes, but someone in the household said he should be making eggs instead. They reportedly began to raise their voices, leading to a domestic disturbance call.

As the man and another person in the household continued their verbal argument in the kitchen, James Harrison, 62, allegedly armed himself with a baseball bat and told the man to stop screaming, deputies said. That's when the argument turned physical.

During the physical altercation, James and the man allegedly tried to choke one another, the affidavit states. Someone in the household tried to separate the two, but that was unsuccessful, deputies said. James then used a "wooden rod and a black baseball bat-type device," striking the 30-year-old man in the abdomen.

Deputies said another person in the household tried to separate the men, but wound up getting caught in the scuffle themselves. The 30-year-old man slammed them to the ground and allegedly bit their lower left leg.

Both the man and James denied seeing medical personnel.

Harrison was arrested on charges of domestic violence battery. Deputies said he was the primary aggressor in the situation since he was the one who initially approached the man with a baseball bat.

The Florida Department of Children and Families will be contacted since a child was present during the brawl.

They're both wrong. Dude should have been making waffles, not pancakes, and eggs in addition to that (not as a substitute). Plus bacon, oatmeal and toast.

Their breakfast opinions are both so wrong. They're asking to get beat up!

I too have lost family members in the eggs v pancakes war.

Their family reunions must be like an episode of the Jerry Springer Show.

The most shocking part is that they all just didn't shoot each other

America thinking that their gross-ass fake pancakes are breakfast food and not a garbage dessert is really weird.

Why didn't they just make both?

Everyone in here talking about pancakes and waffles and eggs, meanwhile I'm over here munching on some french toast and sausage laughing at the idiots fighting over two clearly inferior breakfast options.

I am disappointed that this story did not include the details of each person's point as to why that breakfast item should be made.

Because obviously eggs are superior to pancakes.

Now I'm imagining the guy who suggested eggs as some kind of hardcore paleo/keto person who strongly believed he was defending the child from the dangers of carbs.

That's such a weird fucking thing to say, why wouldn't they just say a black baseball b-?

Oh... oh I see. It was a 32-inch black dildo, wasn't it?
