#MeToo
A waitress at Vinnie Van Go Go’s, a pizzeria in Savannah, Ga., stopped at a serving station just before a customer walked by — and grabbed her butt as he passed. Emelia Holden, 21, didn’t hesitate: she collared the man and, despite him significantly outweighing her, swung him around and slammed him into the wall and a trash can, and lectured him at finger-point. “You don’t touch me!” she yelled at the stunned man as other employees surrounded him so he could not leave. Ryan Cherwinski, 31, of Palm Bay, Fla., claimed he was just trying to push Holden out of the way, but security camera video shows otherwise. Police charged him with sexual battery, and the video went viral online, bringing millions of views. Holden says customers at Vinnie’s are a lot nicer lately, and tips have increased.
