A GameStop patron was reportedly attacked by one customer and stabbed by another when he confronted one of them for reportedly trying to cut in line to purchase Pokémon cards.

Pokémon, which was introduced to the public in 1996, is lauded as “the world’s highest-grossing media franchise.” Some of the activities in the franchise are a game using trading cards, an animated television series, and movies. Cards for the role-playing game are sold at many retailers, including video game stores. According to reports, on the morning of July 5, two individuals waiting in line to buy cards at a GameStop in Colma, California, were involved in a violent incident involving another customer.

A man was waiting in line when a 49-year-old reportedly tried to cut in front of him. He confronted him, and after a heated exchange, things got physical. The alleged line cutter reportedly grabbed a nearby mason jar and hit the man over the head, causing the glass to break. A 27-year-old man who was also in line allegedly grabbed a piece of the shattered jar and used it to cut and stab the alleged victim multiple times. When the authorities arrived, they collected pictures and license plate numbers of the cars the suspects left in.

A lawyer in Florida is facing charges after purportedly trying to enforce proper etiquette at a wedding buffet table by allegedly using his plate to assault a man who allowed his daughters to cut in front of him.

On January 18, the Boca Lago Country Club in Boca Raton hosted a wedding reception that featured a meat carving station with prime rib as part of the meal offerings. Several guests were waiting their turn, and a line formed. One of the people waiting in line was identified as a 52-year-old local attorney who represents clients in bankruptcy, commercial litigation, business disputes, and collections cases. Two young girls approached the man standing in front of him. The man invited them to enter the line and stand with him, causing them to cut in front of the lawyer. He reportedly became upset and began arguing with him for allowing it, and when he turned away from him, he allegedly broke a plate over the man’s head.

The authorities were notified, and the suspect was taken into custody. He is facing a preliminary charge of felony aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. It was reported that while he initially chose not to talk to the authorities without an attorney present, he later discussed the incident. He reportedly said he was hungry and had a verbal dispute with the alleged victim when the girls cut. He said he shoved the man but did not admit to hitting him with a plate. He was released after posting bond.
