[Disclaimer: I didn't see this, but heard it second-hand from a reliable source]
So my brother and I work together at Publix (grocery store). We close at 10pm, and we both closed tonight. The manager, J (important to note that she's about 5'4...and female), was outside doing....something, and a car drives up. This is about 1015, 1020 or so. There are these four asshats in it, and they get out. They want to know if the store's open. J tells them that we're closed, and they begin to get belligerent. She won't let them in (I wouldn't piss her off), and one of the dudes bangs against the window really hard. My brother, who was in the lobby, hears this and comes out. It's also important to know that he is about 6'3 and has some serious rage issues sometimes. It's a bad day for anyone who pisses him off. Anyhow - he comes out to see what's going on, because he heard the loud bang. Some words were exchanged it seems, and one of the dudes shoves M (my brother). I'm not sure of the size comparison, but M shoved back. He doesn't take crap from ANYONE. The police were called, and two cars showed up quite quickly (the city the store is in is infamous for slow response times to our store) with a K-9 in one going absolutely insane - wanting to see some action I suppose.
The managers wound up sending us home because the store was pretty much done, and nothing else was getting done after that.
My brother is fine. He's probably a bit pissed off - he doesn't appreciate when people trample on 'his' territory. The general consensus is also that these guys were high or on something, and we were standing in the way of their munchy fix.

Whoa, then they need to go to 7-Eleven! As for you and your brother, I'm glad you're OK...it could have been a lot worse!
