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.

What it all boils down to is that the gunman’s thinking was a bit scrambled, and he thought his rights were being poached. But in the end, there ws a sunny side to the story since one got shot.

Since this is in Florida, maybe the shooter will be fried in old Sparky?

Usually one a day at first then two every three days and anywhere from 200 to 275 eggs per year depending on the breed of chicken. I can see where people would get upset about the subject. My wife and I argue about this every time the chickens are molting and they stop laying eggs for several months.

A good White or Brown Leghorn will lay one egg per day for about 10 months per year.

Oh yeah? Why don’t you come over here and say that. Step outside Buddy!

I’m sure being paranoid after smoking pot didn’t help either. 😏

Somehow I just knew alcohol would be involved.

And all of them probably had nitwit phones that they could have looked the answer up on at any point.

The answer, of course, is it depends on the breed of chicken.

How many eggs can a rooster who identifies as a hen, lay? Or is it, ‘how many hens can a rooster, who identifies as a hen, lay’?

Canadian prison officials do not know, but they are imprisoning ‘women’ with ‘xy’ chromosomes, alongside women with ‘xx’ chromosomes and (not) surprisingly, ‘xy women’ are raping real women.

Alberta needs to GTHO of Canaduh!

Seems like a trivial thing to shoot someone over. Now, pineapple on pizza, on the other hand...
