*** WATCH *** BRAZEN BEHAVIOR: Pack of feral juveniles storm...

HYANNIS – [HN NOTES] – An untamed pack of 14 and 15-year-olds horrified diners when they stormed an East End burger joint and began fighting with two other juveniles inside, late yesterday afternoon. HN spoke with several witnesses, including one older couple who had just arrived in town from Pennsylvania. Their plan was to ease into their vacation, so they decided to sit for a peaceful sidewalk meal, when suddenly the quiet restaurant turned into a madhouse.

By all accounts, 7 to 8 juveniles on bikes had been starting trouble in traffic, obstructing vehicles and yelling at random motorists and pedestrians. The couple visiting from Pennsylvania, watched with trepidation as the out-of-control maelstrom of adolescent boys, obviously in the throes of teenage aggression, charged straight past sidewalk diners and into the KKatie’s Burger Bar in the East End. The rabid pimply-faced horde quickly advanced and began whaling on two other teenage boys who were seated inside trying to eat. Surprise was on their side and it’s unknown what caused the young Hyannis “darlin’s” to suddenly swarm and attack their fellow teenage brethren, but it was widely regarded as an uneducated display of bad manners by all in attendance.

Witnesses say someone in charge of the eatery was able to rally a counter-response, managing to thwart the pubescent melee from spreading further into the restaurant’s interior. It was only then, by shear adult willfulness and determination, that order was finally restored. The wild collective throng of raging juvenile hormones had been out-flanked, forced to retreat back onto the sidewalk before scattering in an easterly direction.

The first cops on scene called for an ambulance to evaluate two teenage boys for minor injuries. (According to police sources, one teenage boy was taken into custody on an unrelated, separate matter.)

Peace had been restored but it was the resilient diners on scene who were the real heroes last evening – finally managing to finish their meals despite the rude outburst. And determined not to have their long-awaited vacations spoiled, some chose to view this particular street urchin uprising as a form of edgy entertainment – a type of real-life Hyannis dinner theater, if you will.

“Be sure to visit the JFK museum and art shanties down by the boats,” I said,
“and don’t worry, not all of our children behave this way!” I advised the couple from Allentown, in parting. And they seemed most appreciative and anxious to see what more Hyannis had to offer.
