The dog days of summer ain’t just affectin’ the temperature, it made two families in the City’s West End Housing Complex located on Linn Street blood boil over (erupt).

A brawl over steak and potatoes broke out late night at about 9:30 pm on Saturday July 14, 2007, stemming from a Friday 13th hang over.

Some eye witness said, “The fight started when a little baby (family 1) took some BOO-BOO out of his diaper and threw it hitting a younger family member (family 2) in the forehead (children fighting)”, it was on and crackin’. The brawl got heated (escalated) to a point the kids started throwing toys at each other, while parents threw fried chicken, macaroni & cheese, and peach cobbler at each other (bullets started flyin’).

It was about 150 people from the West side gathered around for a prayer vigil to bless the food, when a chicken bone sailed through the air.

Cincinnati Police stepped in some barbecue sauce (controlling the crowd) they had food all over their uniforms and matted to their hair.

Finally, everybody’s (crowd) bellies were full (from eating all that food) and they all fell asleep right in the middle of the street.
