He didn't like (http://www.thesmokinggun.com/documents/stupid/yelp-battery-bbq-295061) the review of his restaurant on Yelp that his girlfriend's son wrote
QuoteIncensed over a pair of scathing reviews on Yelp, the owner of a Florida BBQ joint last night allegedly physically attacked his suspected online critic, according to cops who arrested the restaurateur.
Investigators charge that Daniel Ahrens, 60, jumped atop the male victim and struck him several times while outside a residence in Largo, a city in the Tampa Bay area.
According to an arrest affidavit, the confrontation Tuesday evening began when the victim, whose name has been redacted by police, arrived at the Largo home. The victim is apparently the son of Ahrens's girlfriend.
The victim, cops reported, sought to speak with his mother about "threatening" communications sent to him by Ahrens. In addition to texts, Ahrens allegedly called the man "several times in regards to 'wanting to beat his ass' about a 'restaurant review.'"
Jesus. Would have been easier to reach out to Yelp and ask them to remove it for conflict of interest (https://www.yelp.com/guidelines)
Course Florida Man is such a f**king idiot he has to do everything the hard way.
