A video that recently resurfaced is sparking outrage after showing a Kennesaw State University student in Georgia hurling a burger at a restaurant worker before shouting a racial slur as staff pushed him out the door.
The clip, originally recorded a year ago but only recently blowing up across TikTok, Instagram, and Reddit, captures a heated argument inside a local burger spot. At first, the student appears to be upset about his order and demands that it be remade. Within seconds, his frustration escalates as he throws his food at an employee, squares up as though ready to fight, and then drops the N-word on his way out. He’s lucky he didn’t.
One TikTok stitch, created by someone present during the incident, provides important context. The commenter, whose brother was the worker struck by the burger, explained why the family didn’t retaliate physically:
“My dad didn’t lay the guy’s ass out because we’re all black belts in martial arts and can get in legal trouble. Can’t believe it took so long for this to get posted.”
According to them, police later arrested the student, who was ordered to attend anger management courses. The video’s circulation has ignited a busy discussion across TikTok. Many users demanded accountability, asking for the student’s name, while others pointed out the clear racial undertones.
“Racism is real silent in the comments! I wonder why? 🤔,” wrote one viewer. Another said, “& we’re the aggressive ones…” highlighting the hypocrisy in how such confrontations are often framed.
Some commenters expressed disbelief at the restraint shown by the staff. “Would’ve lost my job,” one user admitted, while others laughed at the aggressor’s posturing: “He only got hype once someone was holding him back. Kitchen staff was about to get in his world.”
The video has since garnered thousands of comments, many of which tie the student’s behavior to larger political and social issues. One viewer wrote, “Trump gotta them all acting like this. History won’t be kind and decent Americans will never forget.” Others questioned why the student faced little resistance in the moment, with a popular reply reading, “Not gon be a KSU student much longer.”
