the woman didn't believe this uniform was real so she slapped the man wearing it. arrested

[Demovictory9]

A viral video capturing the scene opens with the woman throwing Sean Notle Jr.'s Navy cover to the ground, calling it 'disgusting' as she slaps the US service member in the face inside the lobby of Central Pizza, in Berlin, Connecticut.

Notle Jr. - who was still in his military camouflage after stepping out for lunch from the Naval Submarine School, in nearby Groton - kept a cool head as his friend video taped the incident.

'Show his uniform,' the woman continued to yell.

Despite showing her his military ID, the woman did not believe the Nolte Jr. was in the Navy.

After she left the pizzeria several times, Nolte Jr. said the woman returned and started yelling at the staff that she knows Nolte is 'a fake' because her husband is in the Army.

Notle Jr. said he tried his best to keep the situation calm and even told the woman to thank her husband on his behalf for his service.

Jason Bikakis, the owner of Central Pizza, told News 8 he was shocked by what he saw.

'I have never seen something like that,' he said.

Bikakia said he witnessed the woman slap the sailor.

'Slap him, yes, in the face like she knows him for a long time,' Bikakis said.

1. This was a big local story.

It’s been over two years since the blueberries uniform was retired. How someone in this part of Connecticut could not know that is beyond belief.

[Demovictory9]

2. seems her brain is cooked in the booze

[Klaralven]

12. Why do submariners need a camouflage uniform?

[NutmegYankee]

16. It's a standard Navy uniform for shore duty.

On ship they wear blue coveralls nicknamed “poopie suits”.

[Act_of_Reparation]

27. I mean, I probably wouldn't have known it if I was still living there.

But I wouldn't have thought twice about it if I saw it, either. I'd probably be like, "Huh, that's new" and ordered my fucking pizza like any other not-an-asshole-garbage-person.

Man, now I miss pizza. The midwest is great if you want to own a home, but what I wouldn't do for a slice...

3. I recently saw a guy in a funny looking "Space Force" military uniform at Costco.

He was wearing military fatigues, boots, but they looked different from the usual military fatigue.

In big letters on the front left side of his uniform were the words "US Space Force."

I didn't yell at him or hit him. However, I did give him the side eye.

[brush]

7. As much as many of us hate it, that this trump vanity project, the Space Force, has become a real...

thing...what with the "Star Trek"-like uniform shirt/top and all. Its head however, reports directly to the Secretary of the Air Force, which makes me wonder why it even exists since the logical thing all the time was for it to be part of the Air Force.

[Irish_Dem]

8. I know, seeing this guy hit home that this is real.

If they report directly to the AF Secretary, seems like it is part of the AF.

[Whiskeytide]

19. But there's no air in space. n/t

[Zeitghost]

41. It's similar to

The Marines and the Navy.

[Klaralven]

14. Maybe it was a bureaucratic ploy to grab the Army and Navy activities and consolidate them in the AF

[brush]

15. Sorry, not many Army and Navy activities overlap, and what do they have to do with the Space...

Force and Air Force?

[Klaralven]

18. See below response

[Happy Hoosier]

24. Both the Army and the Navy have a stake in satellite communications...

... and satellite navigation. So that's one thing.

Also, the Navy and the Army actually coordinate and cooperate on a lot of activities. For example, the Future Vertical Lift program... which seeks some common systems for all future rotary wing aircraft from drones to heavy-lift helicopters. The BNavy and the Army being the largest users of helicopters. That does have a SATCOM element too.

[Klaralven]

17. The Army has been responsible for anti-aircraft and anti-missile defenses, e.g. Safeguard

United States Army Space and Missile Defense Command

https://news.usni.org/2020/03/05/navy-to-make-modest-personnel-contribution-to-space-force-new-space-designator-likely

The biggest components other than the Air Force come from the Army.

[GulfCoast66]

20. Why would you give him the 'side eye'?

He is a service member wearing the uniform he is assigned.

[Irish_Dem]

23. I'm an Air Force brat, and this guy looked like he was wearing a pretend AF uniform.

My Dad flew combat in three wars. I saw a lot of different types of AF uniforms over the years.
And this guy in Costco looked like a clown.

[Happy Hoosier]

25. Not his fault.... also...

The Air Force uniform has always been a bit goofy. Looks like a bus driver's uniform.

[brush]

4. What is wrong with these people? One good thing, she lost her job for her racist foolishness.

[Beakybird]

5. Where did you read she lost her job?

Oh .https://www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-world/national/article254313148.html

[brush]

6. At the tail end of the last video. Her former employer was called and they said she no longer was...

employed there.

[Effete Snob]

10. We're unlikely to find out what is wrong with her

We used to have a mental health care system that sought answers to questions like those.

Now we do the medieval thing and make the mentally ill objects of public scorn and ridicule.

But, like a lot of people having mental health breakdowns captured for internet immortality, something is wrong with her.

[brush]

13. Do you have any sympathy for the poor POC guy she slapped and ridiculed?

[Effete Snob]

39. Yes

Why wouldn't I?

What a silly question.

[Hortensis]

21. Agree, but these days something like 70 million people are

thinking crazy in this era of great anxiety and hostility. Many of those are insisting on spreading a virus tht kills as part of their pathology, a form of physical attack. Mercifully, so far only a few are acting it out in direct physical attacks, but far more than before.

If we had had the mental health system we need, it'd not only be hopelessly overwhelmed but also under severe attack by all the crazy Venn circles, including what constitutes diagnosable mental illness.

[GulfCoast66]

22. My old grandfather could have told you what is wrong with her. She's a drunk.

Fuck her. My concern is the young man. And he seems to be a fine young man who kept his cool and remained professional as a sailor should in stressful situations. He will do well.

[Act_of_Reparation]

26. We need to stop using mental health as a catch-all excuse for shitty behavior.

She's a garbage person marinated in a subculture of violence and delusions of persecution. There's no diagnostic criteria for being a swamp yankee asshole.

[Effete Snob]

40. "She's a garbage person"

What would you suggest we do with "garbage people"?

[Act_of_Reparation]

44. Irrelevant.

Her being an asshole is independent of my having a plan to deal with assholes. Mental illness, similarly, is not determined by an available treatment plan.

[uponit7771]

45. THIS !!!! ☝🏾☝🏾☝🏾

[HAB911]

9. Mental illness is a terrible thang..........

but I bet she's a T****er and fake idiot self proclaimed "patriot" too

[PatSeg]

28. Lately, it feels like some kind of mass insanity

A real pandemic of super crazy.

[HAB911]

32. I only half jokingly say it must be something in the water

or food supply, micro plastics maybe. Insanity stalks the land.

[PatSeg]

35. And I half jokingly say it must

alien brain worms. It certainly feels like it is highly infectious and possibly incurable. Quite unlike anything I've ever seen in real life.

[HAB911]

38. alien brain worms

I like it!

[PatSeg]

42. When that show came out,

I just couldn't get into it as I found it too close to reality.

[greenjar_01]

11. That woman is 45? FORTY-FIVE? Holy shit!

[lagomorph777]

29. Meth really erodes the face.

[Ilsa]

34. I thought she was at least 60.

A warning to all youth to stay away from the vices and nasty meth.

[Mariana]

36. Alcoholism can do that.

My brother is 51 and looks more like 71 because of his alcoholism.

[luckone]

30. And her husband is in the Army

[Aristus]

31. "I HAVE A RELATIVE WHO DOES SOMETHING! SO THAT MAKES ME AN EXPERT!"

Jesus, what a fart-nozzle...

I don't know if a service member can sue a civilian, but I hope this shit-drizzle gets the book thrown at her...

[alphafemale]

33. She's not seen a pixelated uniform before.

Everything is probably "fuzzy" for her.

Definitely blotto drunk.

[Paladin]

37. All the trumpistas are starting to look alike to me.

I hope this woman receives punishment and treatment; I don't particularly care in what order.

[wnylib]

43. Expensive temper tantrum.
