Man pulled gun after Burger King worker wouldn’t accept drugs for payment

A Colorado man held a gun up to a Burger King drive-thru worker when they wouldn’t accept a baggie of drugs as payment — and was ordered to serve more than 143 years behind bars, officials said.

Eugene Robertson, 40, was sentenced Thursday for the drive-thru incident, which spurred a series of crimes Robertson carried out in the Denver suburb of Aurora on Oct. 17, 2022.

After pulling the gun on the fast food worker, who told police he was scared he was going to be killed after turning down the baggie of drugs, Robertson walked into a 7-Eleven across the street and pointed a gun at the head of the store clerk, the Sentinel Colorado reported.

Robertson then noticed a surveillance camera was in the store and shot at the screen before fleeing. As he ran out of the store, he shot at two people in the parking lot, the Arapahoe County District Attorney’s Office said.

Don’t take the drugs. They might be fake.

I figured the culprit would end up being Hunter Biden.

I suspect the sign for the method of payment options had become worn down, reading

Meth
Payment

Naturally, he became confused and agitated when he tried to pay.

"Man pulled gun after Burger King worker wouldn’t accept drugs for payment"

You can get a lot further with a baggie of drugs and a gun than you can with just a baggie of drugs.

“Oxy pills for a whooper combo?”

That’s what I’m wondering, perhaps it was a good deal?

In any case, assuming that the encounter is recorded (and they should have their heads examined if not recording, since America now ‘looks like America’), just take the damn drugs and call the cops.

Now why wouldn't he accept the drugs?

After all, if he is working at BK he is probably not rich and we know from the wisdom of FR that ALL poor people are druggies otherwise they would not be poor.

It is a puzzle.

Robertson faced a maximum sentence of over 400 years when he was sentenced on Aug. 9.

And he only got 143. He should be eligible for parole in 2095.

Meanwhile, illegal aliens who rape and murder American citizens get released on their own recognizance and get plea deals to misdemeanors.

A lifer in prison should have unlimited access to drugs.

143 years seems excessive. He probably was on drugs and just freaked out.

The good news is that he could have gotten 400 years, but only got 143 years.
