A bikini-clad woman wanted a Whopper -- and she gave a walloping. Police in Panama City Beach, Fla., say Kimesa Smith hopped on the counter of a Burger King on March 19 and attacked employees because she felt her order of a Whopper Jr. and fries was taking too long. "We tore the Burger King up," the 31-year-old reportedly told investigators. "I don't play no games." ...

You know you're dealing with a special household when a domestic argument turns into a case of gang assault. But witnesses in Pakistan say that's what happened to polygamist Mian Ishaq, who was beaten up by his first and second wives for allegedly conducting a secret wedding with a fourth wife -- and planning a fifth marriage.

(Dec. 15) -- When the going gets tough, it's time to help out your local police officer. An Ohio cop is thankful for the community spirit of a woman who helped save him from a violent assault during a routine traffic stop. Jonathan Seiter was locked in a scuffle with a driver last weekend after a discussion about a missing headlight turned violent. The fight, captured on a camera sitting on Seiter's dashboard, went on for more than a minute, with the assailant grabbing for Seiter's stun gun. Then, a passing woman appeared out of nowhere. She beat the assailant about the head and soon Seiter ...
As far as one Houston Texans player sees it, Cortland Finnegan and the Tennessee Titans indeed play dirty. Texans offensive tackle Eric Winston said as much Sunday after a brawl between Finnegan -- a Pro Bowl cornerback for the Titans -- and Texans Pro Bowl wide receiver Andre Johnson Sunday resulted in the ejection of each player. "I'm glad he's not on our team," John McClain of the Houston Chronicle reported Winston saying about Finnegan. "I think he hurts his team sometimes." Winston also was asked if the Titans are "a dirty team." "Absolutely," he said. "You can't back down from them ...
(Sept. 29) -- Are you a scrapper or a sweet talker? Do you avoid conflict or embrace it? A new, long-term study concludes that how you fight with your mate might offer valuable insight into your risk of divorce. Surge Desk has the run-down: The Data on Differing Dueling Tactics The study, published this week in the Journal of Marriage and Family, is one of the longest and most comprehensive research explorations of marital conflict to date.

(Sept. 3) -- While tennis is a gentleman's (and gentlewoman's, of course) sport, it's not unheard of for a little fisticuffs in the stands. Often it happens when players representing countries with geopolitical issues take the court. Serbs and Croats are one of the notable combustible mixes. And while a Serb, Novak Djokovic, was on court against Philipp Petzschner of Germany at Arthur Ashe Stadium Thursday night, the fight that broke out had nothing to do with central Europe. No, it was of the common American variety. A young man was swearing too much for an older lady's liking. She ...
(Aug. 21) -- Saudi Arabia was urged by a human rights group not to deliberately paralyze a man as punishment for injuries he inflicted during a fight. Saudi media reports indicate that authorities have contacted several hospitals to ask if they would be able to sever the man's spinal cord. One of the hospitals has indicated it is able to perform the operation. The authorities are seeking the punishment at the request of the man's victim in the fight. The victim, Abdul-Aziz al-Mutairi, is able to make a request under sharia law, since he himself was left paralyzed by the fight. Such cases ...
ROCHESTER, N.Y. (Feb. 27) - An argument between two female flight attendants forced the cancellation of an Atlanta-bound flight at an airport in upstate New York.
