Round 1
First Tennessee isnt as "friendly to business" as they want you to believe.
Knoxville just told local business owners they can no longer allow smoking or vaping in their establishments
I'm not talking retail stores and waffle houses either.
Smoking has been banned in establishments that allow people under 21 for nearly 2 decades.
But in 2022, the TN Legislature passed a law allowing local governments to implement smoking bans in all businesses.
Tuesday night, Knoxville voted 7-2 to take the plunge and now, music venues and bars who allow smoking or vaping face a $50 fine for EACH INSTANCE
The ban wont apply to cigar lounges vape stores & hookah bars but all music venues and bars in Knoxville city limits will be affected.
If it passes the ceremonial 2nd reading, the ban will take effect beginning next year.
Do you think cities should be able to ban bars from allowing smoking inside?
Round 2
Next, High School has changed a little since my old ass was there.
The Kids all have smart phones, laptops and all sorts of extra technology.
On top of that, fighting seems to be more common, and that includes fighting teachers.
3 students were arrested and thrown in juvy yesterday after they came just this close to starting a full on brawl
It all started when a 16 year old student assaulted a teacher multiple times.
The SRO came, tackled and handcuffed the student and was walking him through the cafeteria when another student, a 17 year old, came putta no where pushed the Officer from behind
The officer lets go of the first student and focuses on #2, punching him a few times & finally apprehending him.
While this was going on, another student seemed to want to get their pent up aggression out & pushed another teacher—pretty hard.
You can see in this video here the teacher nearly losing his head on the cafeteria table.
Eventually, with the help of Murfreesboro PD, the situation was brought under control and all 3 students were taken to the pokey
That's 2 stories down 1 left to go,

Round 3
And last, I know we just talked about him earlier this week but I guess he really is THAT GOOD at getting attention,
though this is attentention that once again he probably didnt want
Yesterday outside the Montgomery County Courthouse the recently infamous "Chud the Builder" 🔫 a man who he says was assaulting him.
Apparently he was live streaming when it happened, but the only a portion of the stream has been made available, all from after the incident.
But 615 Nav did receive this video of the immediate aftermath that appears to show Chud, whose real name is Dalton Eatherly, on top of the other man as police pull them off each other.
Fake profiles bragging about no charges popped up just as Montgomery County Sheriff's Office announced Chud was being charged with Attempted 💀, possession of a pew pew during a felony, & more.
