A culture that encourages violence will find a way to justify it.

NEWS

Onlookers standing in the background cheered the chaos.

Who are the suspects?

Police arrested Pearl Ozoria, 27, of Manhattan; Chitara Plasencia, 25, of Brooklyn; and Tatiyanna Johnson, 23, of Brooklyn on robbery and criminal mischief charges, the Post reported.

'They have every damn right to wild out'

While the Post said Bel-Fries declined to comment on the incident, others were more than happy to do so on Twitter. Most folks weren't thrilled with the trio's behavior, but a number of commenters saw things differently:

  • One commenter said "it's complicated y'all. You don't get to this without 400 years of slavery and oppression first. These fierce queens are venting, and yes, they have every damn right to wild out. It's only some soggy old fries; just chill out and go play some backgammon or horseshoe."
  • Another opined that the video shows "literally no context. You don’t know if they were mistreated or discriminated against."
  • "One of them twerked.....it's a sign of solidarity with the oppressed," another commenter declared. "They are just speaking truth to power. Just a revolution happening in front of our eye, nothing else."
