Let's take you over to Florida, where a dude went crazy after being denied a free refill at a kid's lemonade stand. This story seems to be just over the top just from the headlines. He is a 45-year-old man named Steven Cusumano, and he stopped at a kids' lemonade stand on Tuesday.  He bought one glass of lemonade and then downed it but got so angry when he wasn't allowed to refill his cup.

There was an older woman at the stand with the kids to make sure everything was going smooth, and Steven confronted her and "grabbed her by the wrist hard". She said "He was "standing in a fighting stance" and even threatened to "beat her up." He finally walked away, and then the woman ended up on the phone with the cops.  Luckily the local police caught up with Steven down and arrested him.  He actually agreed with the woman's story, but Steven said he grabbed her because she was "talking crap to him." Steven was charged with felony battery according to reports.

Gotts' Thoughts On This Nutjob

Steven, it's a kid lemonade stand, CALM DOWN ! These poor kids were just out having fun, and usually, it was a kid's first job. The last thing they need is some lunatic coming up to the standard of raising Hell over a refill. That kind of behavior is not cool in front of kids and could be traumatic. Although I do think when they grow up, they will be laughing over it.

I also hope the older woman who was on the scene is okay, and thank God the kids were not injured. Also, I hope those kids are back out there selling lemonade, and this should not slow or stop them from doing an awesome job.
