Fashion Show Destroyed After Contestant Responds Violently To Judge’s Decision

YouTube was posted a bizarre melee that erupted at a fashion show and competition where tables and chairs became weapons between disgruntled onlookers. One woman, showing remarkable strength, actually tosses a huge table across the room. What is fascinating is that not a single criminal charge was filed despite the clear video and evidence of assault and public disturbance.

The brawl started when one contestants was peeved by a judge’s decision and threw a chair at the Charlotte, North Carolina event called the “NC Awards Ball.” Some weapons are shown including a taser and an unknown blunt object. Calls to police included one warning that “It’s escalating! He has a sword and an axe!”

The absence of charges is baffling. One would have thought that the contestant, who obviously is known by name as a participant, would be subject to a charge. Yet, an entire event can be trashed and not a single arrest made?

It turns out that fashion felonies are not uncommon even among professionals (here and here)
