REAL LIFE NEWS: PRISON FIGHT WITH UNUSUAL PARTICIPANTS

by Hazed

An inmate at the Erie County Correctional Facility, Buffalo, lost a tooth in a prison fight recently. No surprise there, I am sure there are fights all the time!

But this story is a bit stranger, otherwise it wouldn't be worth writing about. The prisoner only got hurt because he intervened in a fight between two other people.

Those two people were scrapping over a bag of chips.

And they weren't prisoners, they were corrections officers!

The fight broke out in a building opposite the main jail, which houses prisoners who are less of a security risk in an open environment. The two officers got into an argument which seems to have been sparked by a bag of potato chips. They have now been suspended while the incident is investigated.

You can read more about the fight, including a lot of speculation about what might have lead the men to fight over such a trivial matter, here: http://www.buffalonews.com/city/communities/eastern-erie/article406867.ece.
