P’Sanook: “Why do so many people feel like Perth and Santa are each other's safe zone? From my six years of experience working in this entertainment industry, the truth is, some relationships don't make the audience feel something special just because of "sweetness" or fanservice. Instead, it stems from the sheer comfort and peace of mind that the two of them share with each other. Nong Perth once mentioned that ever since Nong Santa came along, he found joy in working again, even going so far as to say that in his 7 to 8 years in the industry, there has never been a time where he felt happier than now. Nong Santa has also said that P'Perth is the person who makes him brave enough to be his true self and serves as an important safe zone in his life. What fans are sensing might not be romance, but rather the fact that the two of them are always standing by each other's side on the days the other needs it most. Because at the end of the day, the best kind of relationship might not be the person who makes you laugh all the time, but the person who makes you feel completely at peace every single time you turn around and see that they are still right there. Hit follow, and P'Sanook will come back to share more behind-the-scenes stories of the entertainment industry. See you next time!” //This perfectly puts into words why they are such a comfort duo. It’s never been about forced sweetness; it’s about that genuine peace of mind they give each other. Perth finding his joy again and Santa being brave enough to be himself is the most beautiful thing. 🥺🖤🤍 #PerthSanta #เพิร์ธแซนต้า #PerthTanapon #Santapp ©TikTok storieswithamanager

Junior’s “Bump Boom Boom” show story time: chaos gang edition 😂🦍🐒 #jimmyyjp #junniorrs #fforce_ #LOLFanFest2026 🌞: I call this unit the "Zoo Wildlife" unit. I tell people that one group is like the king kongs, the kings of the jungle while another group is like chimpanzees, basically baby monkeys. Which show do you think this story belongs to? 🌞: Alright, I’ll tell you. This story is about the "Bump Boom Boom" gang show. In the industry, they call it "M3" for short. When they work, they refer to this song as M3. The first time this group gathered to rehearse, Sea was the only one missing because he was off practicing his "star-climbing" or "hanging-from-a-star" routine at the time. So back then, it was just Force, Book, Ju, Mark, and Jimmy. On the very first day of learning the choreography, they blasted the music so loud that the bass from Bump Boom Boom made your heart stop like, how can anyone survive this sound? 🌞: We were learning the choreography, and on day one, Jimmy was really quick on his feet. He remembered the moves perfectly. But because he's so smart and his brain processes a lot of data, whenever too much information gets crammed in, he blanks out. He has to come back, review it, and then he remembers it forever. 🌞: But there was this one person... from the very first day of rehearsal all the way until the day we were about to hit the stage, he was still dancing off-beat. And that is none other than Mr. Force! A behind-the-scenes clip has already been released by Mae Yui. You can go check it out on Mae Yui’s X account. You’ll see three guys standing in front of the mirror: Jimmy, Force, and Junior practicing the moves. 🕺🕺🕺 🌞: Force couldn't get it because his heart was always set on this move (hips thrust). Seriously, Force can never catch the beat for any other dance move, but for that one? he gets it instantly! And you know what the funniest thing about Force is? Early on, he couldn't even remember the main choreography. 🌞: Then came the part where we split into two sides: Sea-Mark-Book and Ju-Jim-Force. Force went, "Can I add an extra move? I want to dance like this." He even came to pitch it one day, saying, "Hey guys, there are three of us here, let's dance like this, like this," 👯‍♂️👯‍♂️ while making a totally goofy face 🤪🤪🤪. And it was a difficult move too! Honestly, bro, get the original choreography right first! So, he eventually scrapped that plan. 🌞: But Force is a really chill guy. He’s laid-back and doesn't get stressed easily. He knows that eventually, one way or another, he’ll get it down and reach his goal one day, so he's fine. But you know what’s so cute about him? On the day of the first run-through, he knew he was the only one in the gang who wasn't dancing in sync yet. Mae Yui came over and said, "Force, you're not in sync with your friends yet, sweetie. You need to practice the moves." At first, Force was scared, but he tried to act cool like, "Oh, it's chill, Mae, it's chill." A moment later, just as they were about to start the run-through, Force was spotted over in the corner 🕺 facing the wall like this, having the instructor coach him closely. And what did he do next? He kept practicing by himself, separate from the group. Isn't that adorable? There was no way he was going to let this show turn out out-of-sync. And just like everyone saw, everything went beautifully, and they danced with so much energy in that show. Yes, guys, that was the "Bump Boom Boom" show!

Not 100% accurate 💬: “You got a devil tattoo?” 🖤: “Yes, I’ve actually always liked tattoos. My dad was covered in them.” 💬: “Your dad is a gangster!?” 😂 🖤: “No, he has dragon tattoos and things like that. Black dragons. I’ve seen them since I was a kid. So I ended up liking them too and got interested in them. But my mom is the complete opposite.” 💬: “Then what tattoos does your mom have? This one is a dragon, this one is a cat.” 🖤: “No, no, my mom is super clean-cut and doesn’t like tattoos at all. I’ve been hearing her scold my dad about them ever since I was a little kid. And now, in my generation, I’m still getting scolded too. Like when I got my first tattoo…” 💬: “Just asking for fun, did your mom say anything?” 🖤: “Oh wow, what do you think?” 😭😂 💬: “Sorry, Mom. Let me apologize on his behalf.” 💬: “What did you get tattooed? A devil?” 🖤: “I also have tattoos lower down. I’m planning for that whole area to be devil-themed. I have Lucifer on the right side. No one will ever see that one because it’s placed very high up. And on the left side there’s a devil face, with horns.” 💬: “So today you’re going to show your tattoos on the program?” 👀😂 🖤: “Want to see?” starts pretending to take his pants off 😂 🤍: “Heyyy! Calm down! Oiiii! This guy is always ready to show off!” 😭😂 //Not Perth being ready to show the tattoo before the question was even finished. 😭🤣 PERTHSANTA TALK WITH KATANYU #KATANYUTONIGHTxPerthSanta

▪︎ 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑺𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒚 𝒐𝒇 𝑯𝒐𝒘 𝑷𝒆𝒓𝒕𝒉𝑺𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒂 𝑺𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒆𝒅 ▪︎ ♡ Disclaimer: Just a rough translation and compilation from various interviews and moments. There may be mistakes, missing context, or different interpretations, so please read kindly and feel free to correct anything if anything is inaccurate 🤍 1. P'Tha explaining how actor pairings are formed : Regarding how actors are paired, honestly, it comes from many different sources. Sometimes it's us suggesting, "Let's try this person with that person." Other times, staff members, seniors, juniors, or even executives might say, "What about these two?" What we have to do is try because if we never let them meet, we won't know whether it works or not. So we bring them together, let them get to know each other, and then they tell us whether it feels right or not. This is also part of the casting process. We may initially think that this person would suit that person, or that these two would work well together but in the end, they still have to get to know each other and see for themselves whether they can really move forward together. Even if we've already chosen a pair, if it turns out to be the wrong choice, we can admit that it wasn't right and make a new decision. That happens from time to time. The way each pair comes together is different. There isn't just one formula. Most of the time, every couple's story is unique." 2. P'New on Perfect 10 liner cast and PerthSanta Pairing When the cast changes had to happen, During that period, everyone was discussing who would replace whom because we also needed to start filming soon. When the executives discussed it and suggested Santa, saying, "Should we try him? Let's do a fitting and see," I thought it was interesting. In the end, both Perth and Santa are kids I've known from the beginning, so when they got to work together, I wanted to support them and help them go even further. Perth had also been away for quite a while, so I was secretly very nervous, wondering, "Will this work? Will it not?" • PerthSanta Pairing At first, I honestly couldn't picture it. Santa had always been on the left side in his previous pairings, and when he worked with us, he was the leading guy. So I wondered whether it would work in this direction. But compared to Santa, Perth has a more masculine image and stronger "leading man" energy. So we decided to try casting them together. The adults (management) told that if it didn't work, then it didn't work.. there was no pressure that it had to happen. When they auditioned, we had them perform scenes where the characters were already in love and interacting as a couple. That's when I felt that they had something that really matched. Gun's character also has some emotional and dramatic moments, and Santa can already handle that. We'd seen him in "my only 12%", so I felt reassured. In the end, I was happy that both roles went to these two. 3. P'Tha who suggest Santa as Perth Pairing "At this point, we really have to give credit to P'Tha and P'X because they were the ones who chose the entire cast. Even in Perth's case, it was they who suggested Santa's name. Honestly, I was worried because it was right after Santa had just joined the company, you know? I definitely wouldn't have dared to suggest him myself because I was afraid fanclub would think I was trying to favor him. But P'Tha was the one who brought up his name, so I said, 'Alright, let's try the casting first.'"

💬: You didn't know what to do at that moment, right? (Tata injured LOL 2026) 🐯: Yeah, I really didn't know what to do. 💬: But in the end, what did you say to him? Up there on stage? 🐯: Honestly, I just kept telling him that he'd done an amazing job. That he'd already done his duty and done it the best he could. I just kept talking to him, reassuring him. 💬: What did you say when you first went up to him and he was crying in front of the audience? 🐯: I said a lot of things, honestly. I don't remember everything. But I kept telling him, "You've done so well. You gave it your all already. Don't be upset. Don't regret anything." 💬: We heard you were cracking jokes too, because he started smiling. 🐯: Yeah, I was throwing in some jokes too 😭 💬: A lot of people said they've never seen this side of you before. 🐯 : Honestly, I love my friends, my phi phi, and my nong. I just don't show it very often. It's embarrassing to talk about. I guess you could say I give my heart to everyone. If someone is good to me, I love them wholeheartedly. Doesn't matter who they are.. phi, friend, or younger sibling. I care about all of them. Once I've given my heart, I've given it 100%. 💬: During those two days after the accident, you were taking care of him almost the entire time. 🐯: Yeah. We had to stay together the whole time. We were performing together, so I had to look after him, stay by his side, and help him. // help meeeee.. wanna cry again, husband of the year fr 😭🫳🏻 PERTH X VELLA SLEEPMASK #CoreOnePrivilegexPerth

🚨 BREAKING: 3 NEW VIDEOS BLOW HOLES IN THE OFFICIAL TYLER ROBINSON / CHARLIE KIRK STORY 🚨 We’ve just received THREE never-before-seen CCTV videos showing Tyler Robinson in a parking lot near UVU just 20 minutes after the shooting that killed Charlie Kirk. 📹 The footage was uncovered by FromConvict2Conservative (FromConvict2Conservative) after a whistleblower reached out saying she’d been trying to get this to Candace Owens but couldn’t. 📹 According to her, the FBI came to her job days after the assassination, asked for specific times/dates from her store’s cameras, and told her Tyler’s phone had pinged in that lot. 📹 After the agents left, she saved copies of the footage — and now it’s public. Here’s what the videos show: 🔹 Video 1 — Tyler’s gray Dodge Challenger pulling into the shopping center parking lot at 12:44 PM — about 20 minutes after the assassination. 🔹 Video 2 — He’s sitting in his car when a white SUV pulls next to him. Moments later, he drives off. 🔹 Video 3 — His car drives back toward UVU… right into the chaos of police helicopters and lockdowns. 🤔 Ask yourself: – Who lingers in a parking lot 20 minutes after allegedly assassinating a national political figure? – Why return toward the crime scene if you’re guilty? – Why does the FBI have this footage but hasn’t released it? – And why is the only UVU CCTV clip they show of him jumping off a roof — not of him firing a weapon? Even FromConvict2Conservative says: “Somebody who does something this extreme is not going to be lingering around in a parking lot sitting in their vehicle after they just committed an assassination… His character does not match somebody who just committed murder.” The story the public’s being fed doesn’t line up. The timeline doesn’t line up. And the behavior doesn’t line up. 📺 Watch the full, hour-long interview with isaiah Robin on YouTube — link in the comments. Please FOLLOW him and FromConvict2Conservative on X and show them some love. This case just went from strange to explosive. 🚨

Oh, look, it’s MartyUpNorth, strutting into Mark Carney’s event like he’s somebody—newsflash, Marty, the only people who know you are the 27 weirdos in your sad little Twitter echo chamber up in Northern Alberta, and even they’re just there for the popcorn. I’m not surprised you showed up, but you clearly were—poor little Marty thought he’d be denied entry because the Liberal Party would surely know he’s a big bad conservative and an online disruptor. Spoiler: nobody knew who the fuck you were because—wait for it—you’re insignificant as hell. They don’t care, dude. You’re out here acting like you’re a big deal, while Caryma’s over there slapping fake lawsuits on people faster than she can get denied entry to anything that matters. Yeah, she’s a local legend—Ottawa’s own harassment gremlin, terrorizing folks from here to the Toronto legislature like it’s her full-time job. And somehow, the Liberal Party’s got a hit list with her name scratched off in red ink—guess they don’t vibe with her brand of chaos. But you, Marty? You’re just a Twitter troll with a Wi-Fi signal and a dream, thinking Mark Carney’s team would even notice you exist. The self-righteousness is chef’s kiss—hilarious, delusional, and so pathetic it’s almost performance art. Nobody knows you, dude. I’ll keep saying it ‘til it sinks into that thick skull: NOBODY. KNOWS. WHO. THE. FUCK. YOU. ARE. You’re a non-entity, a ghost, a nothing-burger—keep tweeting into the void, champ, it’s the closest you’ll get to relevance. #cdnpoli #abpoli 📌SIDEBAR: He has his train booked, so it’s clear he was planning to be denied and then hop on a train to talk about it in Texas. FAIL 🤣🤣🤣🤣

BARTHTANRAK HEARTS DESIRE #TicketToHeavenEP3 After rewatching this specific scene, I just need to scream about how incredibly gentle, nuanced, and soft their dynamic is? First of all, can we talk about how Tanrak is honestly so easy to coax? The second Barth tells him that he is asking because he genuinely cares about how he feels, Tanrak’s entire demeanor softens. You can literally see the tension leave his body just knowing that his feelings carry weight with Barth. But it got me thinking about the exact nature of the jealousy here. I was initially torn between two theories about what Barth is actually thinking: 1. Barth knows Tanrak is jealous of him being close to Cherry because he’s aware Tanrak has special feelings for him. 2. Barth thinks Tanrak likes Cherry, and assumes Tanrak is jealous because Cherry is getting close to Barth instead. Honestly, both make sense on the surface, but when you look at the flow of the conversation, Reason 1 absolutely takes the win. When Barth sits up and says, "I'm asking you because if you don't want me to do it, I won't," he is putting all the power into Tanrak’s hands. If Barth thought Tanrak just liked Cherry, he would probably back off to let Tanrak pursue her. Instead, Barth directly centers the decision around Tanrak's comfort level with him. He is essentially saying, "Your comfort matters more to me than this play." He knows exactly who Tanrak is actually looking at. At the same time, instead of forcing Tanrak to explain why he’s so bothered or demanding a confession he clearly isn't ready to give, Barth just meets Tanrak right where he is. He doesn't press him for answers; he just gives him the exact reassurance and physical comfort he needs to stop overthinking. And then... the ending of this scene. Oh my god. 😭 The whole "lying flat" sequence where Tanrak tries to hide his face and says, "this is how normal looks like," followed by Barth’s gentle insistence to just look at him? And that nose touch?! It was absolutely devastating. It’s such a classic, intimate gesture of pure fondness and comfort. It’s Barth’s silent way of saying, "I see right through you, and I’ve got you." Beyond the writing, we absolutely have to praise the actors because their acting here is a masterclass in subtlety. Fourth does an incredible job with his micro-expressions. The way he initially avoids eye contact, staring blankly upward to shield himself, shows a boy trying desperately to lock his feelings away. But the moment Barth starts coaxing him, you can see the exact shift in his eyes—the way his guard completely drops, melting into pure vulnerability. He portrays that quiet longing and internal conflict so beautifully without needing loud dialogue. And Gemini is just phenomenal at shifting the tone. He anchors the entire scene with his grounding presence. The way he delivers his lines with that low, soft, conversational whisper makes the moment feel so entirely private and sacred. He plays Barth with this effortless emotional maturity—the gentle tilt of his head, the warm, knowing smile, and the absolute tenderness in his hand movement as he reaches for Tanrak’s nose. GeminiFourth have this natural, unforced rhythm together where they aren't just reading lines; they are completely reacting to each other's energy. It’s their acting that takes a simple conversation on a bunk bed and turns it into something that feels so deeply intimate and real. Their interactions are just so incredibly gentle and tender. There is absolutely nothing "bro-bro" about the way they look at each other. They are completely rewriting the rules of their dynamic right here, and I am not surviving it! 🫠✨ #.GeminiFourth #.เจมีไนน์โฟร์ท #.Gemini_NT #.Fourthnattawat

🚨 Boosie Badazz Responds to DJ Envy Over Interview Pay Claims 👀 Boosie is pushing back after DJ Envy allegedly suggested he was asking for too much money in negotiations with VladTV. 🔥 Boosie’s Response: •Denies the claim that his price is unreasonable •Says he was previously getting $ 25K per interview •Recently asked for $ 35K but hasn’t done an interview in 7 months 💰 His Argument: •Boosie says Envy is missing the bigger picture ➤ It’s not about single interviews it’s about the yearly rate •Claims his reduced appearances actually saved Vlad money overall 📊 On Numbers & Value: •Pushes back on the idea that platform stats define worth •Says many guests on VladTV don’t perform like his interviews do •Emphasizes: “Numbers ain’t everything… I’m Boosie. I’m different.” 📺 Impact on VladTV: •Boosie suggests he’s been a major driver of engagement on VladTV •Implies his interviews are among the most rewatched and talked about ⚠️ Direct Message to Envy: •Calls Envy “wrong” for his take •Invites him to settle it publicly on The Breakfast Club ➤ “We can have it out… I’ll make you understand.” 💭 My Thoughts on Boosie vs VladTV Situation 👀 Let’s break it down… Boosie Badazz can make around $ 60K + for just 30–45 minutes performing at a show. That’s quick, high value work. Now compare that to his interviews with VladTV: •Boosie is sitting down for 2–3 hour interviews •Those interviews get chopped into 20–30+ clips •Clips are posted across YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, etc. •Vlad monetizes EVERYTHING ads, views, engagement •There’s even a paid subscription model where fans pay for early/full access Meanwhile… 📈 Those platforms have grown to hundreds of thousands to millions of followers 📊 And let’s be real a lot of that growth came off Boosie’s viral interviews and moments Point is: Boosie isn’t just “doing an interview” he’s providing hours of content that gets flipped into ongoing revenue streams across multiple platforms. So when it comes to him asking for more money… it’s not as crazy as people trying to make it seem.

Dana Gioia is one of the world’s greatest living poets. He’s been writing for ~55 years, and this 3-hour interview is all about his approach to writing. Some lessons: 1. What is poetry? Here’s a definition: “Poetry is a way of remembering what it would impoverish us to forget.” 2. And who is the mother of the muses? Mnemosyne, the goddess of memory. 3. You can’t understand poetry until you start learning it by heart. Yes, memorizing it. The metaphor of knowing something by heart means storing a piece of wisdom in the center of your being and making it a part of you. 4. Poetry exists in the body before it exists in language. For him, great writing is about putting form to felt sensations. 5. First drafts are an act of madness. They’re messy and chaotic, and it’s worth embracing that. Only in the process of revision does the structure begin to reveal itself. 6. The most valuable ideas arrive suddenly, fully formed but fragile, and they won’t wait for you to be ready. If you don’t write them down immediately, you’ll probably forget them. 7. His artistic process: Confusion, followed by madness, exhilaration, and despair. 8. Aspiring writers who can’t find the time to write run the risk of living a life of regret, where destiny takes the wheel and steers them off-course. Seneca says, “If you follow your destiny, it guides you. If you resist it, it drags you behind it.” 9. What’s the purpose of art? Most people, most of the time, go through life half-awake. The purpose of art is to awaken us to reality and help us feel our situation. Done right, it excites, expands, and refines our complete human intelligence. 10. Can you write with a full-time job? T.S. Eliot had a day job at a bank. Wallace Stevens was an insurance lawyer. Dana Gioia worked a full-time job in New York and wrote in the evenings. 11. Life is like a wallet full of one-hour bills. You only have 24 hours to spend every day. If you want to do serious writing while raising a family and maintaining a full-time job, almost every hour of every day has to be budgeted. 12. Poetry should turn. It shouldn’t just climb to an emotional height. It should pivot, contradict, or contain its own rebuttal. But most new poems go something like this: “I’m sad, I’m sad, I’m sad, I’m sad, the end,” or “I’m happy, I’m happy, I’m happy, the end. There’s no twist, no turn. 13. You don’t need to be 100% original. All you need to do is assemble parts of the reality that already exists. As George Balanchine said, “God creates, I assemble.” 14. A foundational book in his life: The City of God by St. Augustine. He says there are two cities that exist: There’s the City of Man, which is ruled by wealth and power and all the laws of man. And there’s the City of God which is eternal and governed by the rules of God. 15. Great poetry exists at the level of intuition, and it’s the same intuition that academic education tries to suppress. With great poems, like great songs, you feel before you understand. 16. Art is an argument with yourself. Yeats said: “Out of arguments with others, we make politics. Out of arguments with ourselves, we make poetry.” 17. Great writing should astonish the creator, and if it doesn’t astonish the creator, it won’t astonish the reader. 18. Robert Frost once said: “No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader. No surprise in the writer, no surprise in the reader.” 19. Beauty is being able to see the form, the shape underneath reality, and to understand why it is right, even when it is destructive or terrifying or humiliating. The most powerful kind of beauty is to discover the secret shape and rightness of things that are terrifying. 20. On novels: Most people don’t understand what a novel is — and how revolutionary the form was. So, what’s a novel? It’s a story that tells you simultaneously what’s happening on the outside of a character and what they’re thinking on the inside. I’ve shared the full interview with Dana Gioia below. If you’d rather watch it on YouTube, or listen on Apple or Spotify, check out the reply tweets.

🚨 I MET THE ONE… WHILE HE WAS PULLING ME FROM THE WRECKAGE HE CAUSED 🚨 1/ I never believed in soulmates. Never. Until the night a stranger almost killed me… and then refused to let me die alone. 2/ My name is Nova. It was 1:17 a.m. on a rainy backroad. I was driving home after a double shift, half-asleep, radio blasting to stay awake. Headlights came out of nowhere. 3/ The truck swerved. Metal screamed. Glass exploded. Everything went black. 4/ When I opened my eyes, I was hanging upside down, pinned by the seatbelt, blood in my mouth. A man’s face appeared at the shattered window. He was shaking, covered in rain and panic. 5/ “Stay with me! I’m getting you out!” He ripped the door off with his bare hands (I swear). Pulled me free like I weighed nothing. Carried me to the side of the road and held me while we waited for sirens. 6/ I was fading in and out. I remember whispering, “You… hit me…” He didn’t deny it. He just kept saying, “I know. I’m so sorry. I’m not leaving you.” 7/ At the hospital they told me later: He was exhausted from a 14-hour drive, fell asleep at the wheel for two seconds. His truck T-boned me at 65 mph. I should have died. 8/ But he stayed. All night. All week. He canceled his entire life — job, flights, everything — and slept in the waiting room chair. 9/ On day 9, when I could finally sit up, he walked in holding a single coffee and the most terrified look I’ve ever seen on a grown man. “I caused the worst moment of your life,” he said. “Let me spend the rest of mine trying to make it the best.” 10/ I laughed through tears and told him he was insane. He smiled for the first time and said, “Insane is letting the woman I’m already in love with walk out of my life.” 11/ That was 11 months ago. Today he still calls me “my miracle.” I still call him “the man who wrecked my car and stole my heart.” We’re getting married in September.

Gas station chaos as police come out to arrest one man but a second crime happens right in front of the officers. ​If you’ve ever wondered how quickly a situation can completely spiral out of control, this bodycam footage from the Cranston Police Department is the ultimate example. What started as a response to a standard domestic dispute turned into a chaotic chain reaction involving a random assault, a near-riot, and three separate arrests. ​Here is the wild backstory of exactly what went down at this Garrett's Family Market gas station: ​The entire incident kicked off when a young woman ran into the gas station convenience store, visibly shaken and crying. Store employees reported that she was desperately trying to escape her boyfriend, who had chased her inside. As employees rushed her into a secure backroom for her protection, the boyfriend tried to force his way past the workers, aggressively shouting, "You don't know who I am." ​When police arrived, they located the boyfriend outside. The moment officers attempted a routine pat-down for weapons, the suspect became highly uncooperative, tensing up, resisting, and threatening the officers by telling them, "I'll body the [expletive] out of both of you." He was ​While multiple officers were scattered around the parking lot processing the domestic scene and interviewing witnesses, a completely separate and unrelated incident exploded inside the store. ​A homeless man, later identified by police as Michael, walked into the market and suddenly punched a young man square in the face while he was standing at the counter. The victim happened to be the brother of the first suspect (their family lived across the street and had walked over to see why police were there). ​Officers rushed inside, tackled Michael to the ground, and handcuffed him. Michael claimed the victim had stolen his bag earlier in the day, but store employees immediately debunked this, stating the victim was a regular customer, they had never seen Michael before, and the attack was entirely unprovoked. ​As officers were loading Michael into a separate police vehicle, the victim's father arrived at the scene in a state of absolute panic. Having received a chaotic, garbled phone call that one of his sons was arrested and his other son was "shot" or severely injured, the father was dialed up to an 11. ​Officers repeatedly tried to assure the father that his son was completely safe, had not been shot, and that the attacker was already locked up. However, the father refused to calm down. He began screaming profanities, demanding to know who the attacker was, and repeatedly tried to bypass the police line to get to the cruisers. After ignoring multiple orders to step back and wait by his car, the father was also arrested for disorderly conduct. ​In the span of just a few minutes, a single gas station became the backdrop for a domestic dispute, a random assault, a family meltdown, and three separate people being hauled off to jail. ​This whole scene when bad shit crazy in the blink of an eye. Great job by these officers for being balance and control back on that scene.
