Bikini-clad barista takes hammer to customer's windshield after he throws coffee at her
The owner of a Seattle bikini espresso shop is defending her decision to smash a customer’s windshield with a hammer after he threw coffee at her.
The incident at Taste of Heaven Espresso was caught on camera at 3 p.m. June 11 and shared in a now-viral social media video. Emma Lee, 23, told FOX 13 Seattle it was not the first time the customer had been disrespectful, and she wants him held accountable for his actions.
What transpired on video was the culmination of a 15-minute exchange over the price of a 32-ounce coffee and 24-ounce water, Lee said. The price tag was $22.
Lee can be heard demanding the customer leave in the surveillance video posted to her personal Instagram page.

“Nobody is gonna miss you,” the man can be heard saying.
“Do you want me to throw this on you?” she asked him.
“Give it to me,” he says, before taking the two cups back.
He then pops the lid off the water and throws it at her before doing the same with the coffee. He gets back in his car while Lee pulls out a hammer and strikes his windshield before he drives off.

“You don’t get to name your own price,” Lee told FOX 13, adding the man screamed, spit and tried to pry open the business’s window.
“It was a threat,” Lee said. “I felt in danger. It’s OK for him to be outraged about the price of his drinks, enough to assault me, but it’s not appropriate for me to respond?”

Lee called police and told FOX 13 she filed charges for misdemeanor assault. Seattle Police did not immediately respond to a Fox News Digital request for more information.
The customer is banned from returning to the business.

Family pulls son from California college after cops fail to respond to car robbery on move-in day
Two Florida parents are devastated after their brush with Oakland, California’s crime wave left them with the heartwrenching decision to pull their son out of a college in the Bay Area and begin piecing together their shattered hopes for his new life away from home.
On “Fox & Friends First,” they recalled the fear they felt when they discovered the windows on their rental car had been shattered while they were helping their son move into his dorm. Several valuable items had been stolen, and they were dismayed to learn that no one could help – not even local police.
“When we called the police, they said they can’t come now [and] we have to come to the station,” said Nerissa Murray Watson, the mother of would-be Lincoln University student Rhomel Crossman.

“I said, ‘Sorry, we don’t know where the station is. We just got robbed. We don’t know the area. We are afraid, and can you come and help us?’ They said no, they can’t come,” she added.
The family claims they called the police a total of three times to no avail. Things didn’t get easier after arriving at the station, Watson said, recalling that they had to wait approximately 15 minutes outside before being allowed in.
Crossman, who recently graduated from high school in Florida, had planned to attend Lincoln University in downtown Oakland on a football scholarship until the twist of fate occurred.
“I was actually excited because I was starting a new chapter in my life, and I was excited because I love playing football,” Crossman told Fox News’ Carley Shimkus on Thursday.

Thieves reportedly broke into the vehicle and stole five suitcases. A bag containing $3,000, several personal items including passports, social security cards, Crossman’s high school diploma and even a sleep apnea machine are also in the thieves’ hands, according to The New York Post.
Watson said the ordeal left her wary of sending her son to college in the area, so she has decided to keep him in Florida.
Lincoln University President Dr. Mikhail Brodsky, responding to the incident, provided a lengthy statement to Fox News: “The information about a broken student’s car is unpleasant but not unexpected. Such things happen in Oakland, San Francisco, Bay Area, California, and the U.S. It’s not the worst thing, there are many worse ones,” the statement read in part.

“Earlier, Lincoln VP Doctor Guerrera sent our supporting letter to the student [sic] parents… Lincoln University is a victim of the situation. However, we love Oakland, which is a beautiful city with great traditions. I am sorry for the student. It is his decision, but Oakland and Lincoln University offer many great opportunities that he will not get in Florida. I wish that these losses are the worst that will happen in his future life,” it continued.
Watson reacted during Thursday’s broadcast, saying that lack of support is one of the top reasons the family decided to pull their son out of the university.
