Darwin Olympics: Teen Threatens Grandfather with a Knife for Denying Her More Vegetables

We actively try to NOT use stories from Florida because this is 2019 and it is sooooo cliché!

Until something like this happens . . .

A nineteen year old goes to a dinner with some extended family members, but the whole thing ends with a knife being pulled on dear ol’ grandpa.

We know, right?!

So here’s what went down — Katie Gates is the 19 year old in this story, who was having the dinner with extended family, and she was really diggin’ the vegetable on the table and wanted some more.

What Katie was asking for more of was — presumably speaking — the best dang tomatoes she had ever eaten in her life, because when one of her grandparents told her “No,” since there was not enough of the dish to go around, Katiedid got supes irate!

First she threw a water bottle at her grandfather . .  then hit one of her relatives (who’s 73 years old BTW!) in the eye with a pack of cigarettes . . . AND THEN, Katie grabbed a knife and threatened to straight up cut her grandpa!!!!!!

She allegedly said to him, “[Whoa is this expletive deleted], I’ll stab you in the [she needs to watch her mouth] face!”

Oh, and Katie apparently chased her grandfather with the knife, though she totally denies that part.

The teenage-adult is facing two felony charges for assault, and battery on a victim over the age of 65 years.

Katie has also been ordered to have no contact with thee victims and is due in court next week.

Check out Katie’s mugshot. She clearly has a #sorrynotsorry grin.

Lesson learned — when a teen says they want more vegetables . . . give them more dang vegetables.

(*And yes, tomatoes are legally permitted to be categorized as a vegetable.)
