This I why I can't stand the samples. People crowd and hog and mess. If I had my druthers there would be a sample area in the store so you would have to SEARCH OUT the samples, and people that didn't want to deal with it could shop in peace.
And if you think I am over the top -- you've never been at Costco at lunch time with people sampling their way through lunch instead of buying something....
Lock him up and throw away the keys for eleven years. Even if the older man said something stupid, why assault? Say something to him instead, it's much better. And yes you can't keep taking all the samples.
This guy is a coward and should be punished, thinking he is so tough punching a elderly guy.
Under a condition you personally support him for 11 years. It is a petty crime, no deliberation, just anger. Make it hurt, but 11 years is absurd. A month in a jail + fine, if a judge has common sense at all.

As further proof that people have no filters to their behavior, consider the 24 year old in Burbank, California who punched a 78 year old man Sunday morning at Costco because the older man complained that the younger was helping himself to multiple samples and not leaving any for him:
He faces 11 years in prison if convicted of the assault. (There were witnesses.) Maybe an 11 year sentence would stop others in the future from assaulting people over such trivial things---think so?
A petty fight is a felony? No wonder lawyers and prisons do so well, I feel so much safer now waiting for another mass shooter to snap instead of working out the differences the old fashioned way.
According to his facebook page, Gharabighi is a "future nurse". This attack was a blessing in disguise. Can you imagine someone like him working in a nursing home? With his felony record, he'll have to pursue another career.

I always worry about germs, along with people handling and putting back. I can't even get soup, after seeing how people have their sleeves dangling. I have been on too many construction sites where it's next to impossible to wash up before they have a lunch break.....most people fail to wash their hands on a regular bases.

I would say a heavy fine, show some kind of kindness shown to the victim and heavy hours applied to community service in a old folks home. He needs to learn respect for others, jail time will just make him bitter. A little community shaming sure would not hurt.
