Man Calls Cops After Men Call His Wife 'Fat'

What is it lately with people calling 911 over trivial things?? on Thursday May 28th 2009, I put up a posting about a guy in Hillsboro, Oregon who called the cops over a juice box, Now, there's this story from Forth Worth, Tx:

Fort Worth police were called after a woman says she was called fat by men handing out flyers to a health club.

The incident happened in a residential area, near Heritage Trace Parkway, as the woman walked down the street with her new baby.

The woman is so upset she didn't want to speak on camera, but did say while walking with her baby, on Tuesday, she was approached by two men with flyers promoting Fitness 2000's summer slim down program.

According to the police report, the woman said the men yelled at her to stop. When she simply waved and kept on going, one of the men began following her.

The report says the man told her she "was fat" and "had a fat stomach" and "ate too many donuts".

There's a Fitness 2000 gym location behind the neighborhood where the incident occurred. Those in the area have seen the flyers and say they're nothing new. Neighbor Kristina Stutz said, "I usually get about three of those a week."

After being followed and called fat, the woman reportedly became so upset that she called her husband and he called the non-emergency police line.

So was calling the police extreme? Fort Worth police say the man who did the name calling did not commit a crime; because the woman wasn't followed home, injured, and foul language wasn't used.

The husband insists that his homeowners association requires him to report solicitors.

CBS 11 News, Were the report comes from, spoke with a Fitness 2000 representative by phone and was told that the gym used a company called Excel Distributing to hire workers to pass out their flyers, but no longer does business with the company.

Later Thursday afternoon Fitness 2000 released a statement that said, in part "We are about people being healthy and fit not, frankly, obnoxious."

CBS 11 News also contacted Excel Distributing who said they were looking into the incident and certainly "don't condone" what happened.

On Thursday, women walking in the same area said they would have probably done the same thing. Neighbor Angie Seagraves said, "That is completely horrible. That should never be the way you talk to people, where you're offensive. Regardless of whether you've had a baby or you're just fat."

Thoughts?
