Here’s what happened, according to the story you link to:

“Ten years in this country, I never seen anything like this. The lady says ‘Speak English, I don’t want to hear Spanish!’ and big fight happens,” Win told the Herald last night. “There was blood in here and everything. There were a lot of customers in here. It (was) crazy.”

Police said one of the suspects, Sonia Pina, 20, was speaking Spanish to her cousin when another lacquered lady, Nakeisha Prichard, 20, attacked her Thursday night. Within minutes, at least four women were fighting inside the salon, police said.

“The two suspects began to argue and a fight ensued,” said BPD spokesman Officer Sharon Dottin.

Prichard allegedly pulled off her pump and began beating Pina with it. She explained away that action by telling cops, “I accidentally took my shoe off and hit her with it after she punched me.”

Prichard was charged with assault and battery, resisting arrest, and assault on a police officer – inflicted by her long, freshly manicured fake acrylic nails.

Just to be clear, when you say “You go, girl,” are you actually endorsing a violent assault and battery on a woman whose only “crime” was to be speaking in Spanish in a private conversation with their cousin?
