Two Reasons People Can’t Stop Watching Drunk UConn Kid’s Mac and Cheese Arrest Video

By now,  you may have seen the viral video of the drunk 19-year-old University of Connecticut student cussing out and shoving around a manager (who shows incredible restraint) at a campus eatery because he just wants his “f*cking bacon jalapeño mac and cheese”.

If not, please watch this:

For almost ten minutes this kid, now identified as Luke V. Gatti of Bayville, New York, drunkenly refuses to leave the cafeteria without the macaroni and cheese after he shows up there with an open alcohol container completely drunk and gets denied service for not only underage drinking on campus, but for throwing a fit over pasta to the point that he assaults the manager multiple times, flipping him off and repeatedly calling him a “f*cking tool” and a “f*cking fag” among other brilliant retorts (not the way to get mac and cheese, we’re thinking).

After one more shove, finally an older cook comes out from the back and he and the manager wrestle the kid to the ground until the cops show up.

“If I get arrested, then I’m f*cked,” Gatti says as he’s being pinned to the ground (finally).

“Well then you’re f*cked,” the cook says.

Gatti’s Mugshot

To be fair, they only gave him like 38 chances over a ten-minute period to leave…

The video of the exchange has been viewed almost 3 million times. There are two reasons people can’t stop watching and talking about this:

1. The entitlement

When Matt Drudge put this video up, he purposefully placed the link next to an article about how this generation of kids are complete and utter pansies. The placement was obviously enough.

What kind of self-entitled douchebag acts like this, drunk or not? That’s what people in the comments want to know over and over. Sure, he was drunk, but there are twelve-year-old kids who don’t throw this kind of fit over macaroni and cheese. Many have commented they have a feeling that this kid acts this way when he isn’t intoxicated, too. He acted this way not just because he was intoxicated but simply because he didn’t get his way.

“UConn police are not going to come to this because it’s a fucking joke. Your job is a fucking joke. What are you, the man-a-ger?” Gatti asks, sarcastically pointing to the manager’s name tag over and over and flipping him off.

The whole exchange oozes spoiled, privileged, self-entitled brat. 

He was asked to leave so many times. The manager kept explaining that he needs to think about his actions and realize that the cops are going to come arrest him over this… Gatti doesn’t budge, not just because he’s intoxicated but because he feels he’s entitled.

Not to blanket statement say every kid in his late teens/early 20s acts like this, but it cannot be denied either that this kind of display has become typical from this generation. It’s not just Gatti, it’s that general attitude of entitlement that has been demonstrated time and again by young adults in his age bracket that are making people the nation over ask themselves if we haven’t raised a generation of whiny bitches.

2. The inaction

While one college guy early on tries to gently talk Gatti into leaving, that’s really about it. It isn’t until the cook shows up that the kid is finally taken down. Meanwhile, as the cop shows up to place him under arrest (finally), this video also shows dozens of college kids standing around DOING NOTHING.

One guy is filming. Probably more kids whipped out their cell phones to film because that’s what they immediately do in any situation without critically assessing what is actually going on first. But as the camera pans around the room in the last few minutes, what you clearly see are a bunch of people in their late teens/early 20s just standing around watching, doing nothing.

There were a lot of legal adults in the room, people old enough to vote and join the military, but where were all the men?

Not to sound like an old man telling stories about how we used to walk uphill both ways in the snow barefoot to school, but in my day (my day being that I’m in my 30s and was born in the ’80s), this kid would’ve been removed from the situation. He would’ve been escorted outside a long time ago. There’s no way this would’ve gone on for ten whole minutes.

Hell, I’m a girl, and I would’ve wrestled this guy to the ground and yanked him outside by then.

But no. For ten minutes, these kids stand around and watch this other kid drunkenly harass and assault a store manager and, well, just generally act like a self-entitled brat… and they do absolutely nothing.

It’s just… bizarre.

And I’m guessing if he had a gun or some other weapon, the reaction would’ve been exactly the same.

It is as if all the electronics, cell phones and wi-fi, in addition to all the programming (school, television, and government propaganda) have completely lobotomized this generation.

So when people ask about what would happen if martial law was declared nationwide?

Well, if this video is any indication, this is the generation that would diligently walk right into the FEMA camps, absolutely no questions asked… by design.

Especially if the government promises there will be cell phones and mac and cheese.
