Fight Club probed at home for disabled

Associated Press

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas - Seven employees of a state-run home for the mentally disabled in Texas have been suspended for staging fights between residents who were forced to shove, punch and strike each other, authorities said Tuesday.

Police learned of the fights when someone gave a cell phone containing videos of the brawls at the Corpus Christi State School to an off-duty officer on Friday, police Captain Tim Wilson said by phone from Corpus Christi, in the southern part of the state.

"Workers were running their own fight club using clients. It's pretty appalling that someone would think of this," he said.

Pretty appalling is right! They better be following the rules otherwise who knows where this thing could end up. Why, for some reason, does this not surprise me that it takes place in Texas?

6. They fight without shirts or shoes.
7. The fights go on as long as they have to.
