Trader Joe's Frozen Food Fight Finally Gets Day in Court

Last winter, a fight broke out at the Trader Joe's on the Upper West Side over a vegan pad Thai meal. Today, the case goes to court. Marcella Caprario, a 37-year-old elementary school teacher and amateur opera singer, was shopping with her husband, Bill, when he reached to retrieve a Trader Joe's brand Frozen Vegan Pad Thai With Tofu from the freezer; Cathleen London's teenage son kept blocking his way. Bill perceived the boy's actions as intentional, and in frustration, he loudly remarked to his wife, "They don't even say excuse me." London overheard him and went ballistic. She told him, "He's just a child! Get that pole out of your ass!" At that point, Caprario reports that London charged at her, and that she slapped London across the face in self-defense.

Caprario will take up her defense in Manhattan Criminal Court today after refusing to accept multiple plea deals from the prosecutors, who have repeatedly lowered the charges from the original misdemeanor assault all the way down to attempted assault.

She commented that she won't plead guilty to something she didn't do, but she admits to slapping London. Hopefully she has a good lawyer.

Kids are changing, so is the world and the weather. Children no longer have compassion or impulse control, its being breed out of them. I think we should start imposing reproduction limits

have you ever seen the way kids behave in grocery stores-and particularly in Trader Joe's? a nation full of entitled children shop at this store with their overly sensitive folks. if some little shit was in my way over and over and over again I wouldn't be nice about telling him to move-being a little boy doesn't give you carte blanche to be a spoiled brat. his comment hardly justifies hers. he has every right to expect to be able to retrieve something he wants without having to be responsible for moving your fucking kid out of the way.

The war against the middle class? what about their war with each other! ah infighting.

Let’s be honest kids- do you really care about the dramas of self entitled divas? Of course you do- and that’s why the NY Post will always make sure to feed you the dribble.

Isn’t it time the tabloids pleaded guilty to grievous body harm themselves?
