Police in Port St. Lucie, Florida, were called to a bar after a disagreement over chickens led to shots being fired and several arrests.
WPTV said it happened at about 2:48 a.m. on Nov. 4 in a bar’s parking lot after the business had closed for the night. “There was a conversation about how many, I kid you not, how many eggs a chicken can lay. And that conversation got a little heated, and as it went out into the parking lot, the conversation continued, and the shooter became agitated, became paranoid,” Sgt. Dominick Mesiti said.
Three of the four people involved knew each other and had, with the fourth person, been drinking together. Police said they were all drunk to varying degrees.
Police said once they went outside, the fourth man, Peter Riera, “became paranoid and agitated,” after smoking marijuana in the parking lot, and accused the three others, two men and a woman, of trying to “con” him, WPEC reported. But witnesses said the trio did not. At one point, police said Riera pulled out a gun and fired four shots at the three other people, WPTV reported. No one was hurt.
Riera is facing charges of attempted aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, discharging a firearm in public and use of a firearm while under the influence, according to his arrest records.

Ping!
If a hen and a half lays and egg and half...............>>>>BANG!<<<<<
Never count on your enemy being an incompetent drunk ... be grateful when it happens.
Never count your chickens before you’re shot..
Some topics are very serious, and worth fighting and dying for.
Hens lay one egg at a time, of course.
This definitely falls under the category, “you can’t make this s*it up!”
God help us!
1 sometimes 2 if it’s a young pullet.
Heard that......always assume they are Chris Kyle 😏
Sometimes people push other people’s buttons.. they think it’s fun.
Sometimes they learn why its never a good idea to antagonize anyone.
Don’t know if that happened here, but I see it regularly.
Alcohol and guns dont mix.
“it happened at about 2:48 a.m. on Nov. 4 in a bar’s parking”
I suspected alcohol was involved.
Funny, that’s what crossed my mind when I saw the headline.
How many eggs will the Dallas Cowboys lay this year?
Must have segued into why they cross the street.
Always a blood pressure boiler for me.
2:48 a.m. at a bar was my first clue.
Two of our two year old hens simply stopped laying a couple of months ago.
So I shot my wife.
Even for Florida it’s not just crazy but it’s fowl…
