A gay woman named "Jorryn" says the debate got heated when a customer from another part of the restaurant came over and joined the gay marriage discussion. "He said it's never going to happen, it's never going to never going to pass in Wisconsin, and it's against God."
That when the argument got physical.
Surveillance video shows the man, who had just joined the debate, pushed "Jorryn" down and then punched another customer.
The fight continued with the suspect yelling, throw chairs and punching people.
The suspect walked out of the restaurant and some witnesses thought he was going to get a weapon.
He came back, not with a gun, but throwing ketchup bottles and anything else he could get his hands on.
Finally, he left.

...and the Lord did say "Yay, verily, when thou doth encounter funny-looking people who speaketh of gay marriage and gayness, be ye vexed unto the point of throwing chairs and fisticuffs. Go thee hither to thine car, and fetch the holy ketchup bottles, and hurl them thusly at the heathens, who, being not in my sight, shall snuff it.
So God's against gay marriage, but all in favor of beating up strangers who hold opinions different from yours? Sounds pretty mainstream Old Testament to me, but not all that mentally balanced (or legal).
I would like to see some actual documentation on this before I comment. The anti-fundie side is just as prone to making shit up as the fundie side is.
You know, I used to believe that marriage should be extended to homosexuals, but in the face of this brave Christian soldier's impeccable logic and unquestionable facts, I'm going to have to change my stance. You just can't argue against thrown ketchup bottles!
This guy is a psycho. Well, let´s suppose this is against God and you don´t agree. Do as OTHER CIVILISED PEOPLE DO, just ignore them or go to internet to sprout your shit(nothing else) but getting physical takes away any credit(if there is any) to your cause.
Brain_In_A_Jar: No failing of democracy, it's an idiot.
This actually reminds me of the time some nut in a bar I was in who was a Communist fanatic was ranting loudly about the evils of capitalism, yuppies, the Republicans, war, etc. I found some agreement with what he said, but it seems like everyone else moved to the other end of the bar.
I'll bet those wicked gay people persecuted him by ducking, too.
@Kitsune Koji: Dammit! I made it through all of the submissions and you stole my line! Oh, well. That was exactly what I was picturing when I read this. Dead/Alive rules!
The people in the restaurant were extremely lucky that he didn't return with a gun. (I am generalising here but...) Most fundamentalists seem to be totally in love with guns, so the likelihood of this guy having an assault rifle in the trunk of his car was high. And he would have justified everything afterward by claiming he had just been doing the lord’s work.
Maybe not one idiot who can't hold their peace, but get enough of them and you're into civil war territory. Democracy is probably better than anything else we've tried so far, but it requires a low number of idiots like this in order to have an effect - otherwise you get fiascos like recent attempts at organised foxhunts in the UK occuring after they were declared illegal, with the participants justifying themselves by saying "We're a minority, but we're an important minority!", or words to that effect.
So...you talk down people who have an entirely different opinion then yours? then you have a hissy-fit, causing physical pain to others?
Yeesh, and these people say homosexuality is a mental disease.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
