8 Teens Trash D.C. Chipotle in Viral Brawl as Pirro Targets Parents
6 articles · Updated · Fox News · May 18
About eight adolescents fought inside a Navy Yard Chipotle on Saturday around 8:40 p.m., with a 33-second video showing punches, thrown furniture and bystanders — including three children — sheltering in a corner.
MPD said one juvenile group was already inside when another entered and the fight broke out immediately; both groups fled before officers arrived, and no injuries were reported.
The footage spread days after U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro said her office would aggressively prosecute parents under D.C.'s curfew and delinquency laws when juveniles cause late-night disorder.
Pirro said recurring "teen takeovers" in areas including Navy Yard and NoMa have disrupted businesses and strained police resources, while Chipotle said it is assisting investigators and no employees or guests were hurt.
With D.C.'s curfew laws in flux, what is the real solution to youth violence?
Will prosecuting parents actually curb teen violence, or just penalize families?
