PANAMA CITY, Fla. (AP) -- Police say a fight over gumbo spices ended with the fatal stabbing of a Florida restaurant worker and former Florida State mascot.

Panama City police say 33-year-old Caleb Joshua Halley was working at Buddy's Seafood Market last Tuesday when he and a co-worker, 26-year-old Orlando Thompson, began arguing about how much spice to add to the restaurant's gumbo.

I don’t smoke, I don’t shoot smack
But I got a spicy monkey ridin’ on my back.
Don’t eat beignets, too much sugar and dough,
But I will play for gumbo
Yes, I will play for gumbo

It started at my Grandma’s kitchen by the sea,
She warned me when she told me “son the first one’s free”
It hit me like a rock or some Taikwondo,
Cause I will play for gumbo
Oh yea, I will play for gumbo.

[Chorus:]
A piece of French bread
With which to wipe my bowl,
Good for the body.
Good for the soul.
It’s a little like religion
And a lot like sex.
You should never know
When you’re gonna get it next.
At midnight in the quarter or noon in Thibadeaux
I will play for gumbo
Yes, I will play for gumbo.

I’m not talkin’ quesadillas or a dozen Krispy Kremes,
Or a pound of caviar that’s a rich man’s dream.
No banana split or fillet of pompano.
No, I will play for gumbo,
Yeah, I will play for gumbo

[Chorus]

Maybe it’s the sausage or those pretty pink shrimp
Or that popcorn rice that makes me blow up like a blimp.
Maybe it’s that voodoo from Marie Leveaux,
But I will play for gumbo
Yeah, I will play for gumbo

The sauce boss does his cookin’ on the stage,
Stirrin’ and a singing for his nightly wage.
Sweating and frettin’ from his head to his toe,
Playin’ and swayin’ with the gumbo
Prayin’ and buffetin’ with the gumbo

Not all that surprising for the type of people who resort to violence over absolutely everything.

“According to the police, Halley portrayed Florida State mascot “Chief Osceola” from 2004 to 2007.”

I had to check if he was the Florida State mascot involved in that infamous brawl, but apparently that one was back in 1989, so not the same guy.

JUSTIN!!!!!! Anyway, prayers for the deceased and the family. It could only have been worse if it could have been tied to gun violence. Knife violence, the lyin’ king admin ain’t interested.

I thought that too. Then I thought about how it probably went down and it occurred to me that it’s probably not about the gumbo as much as it was the perceived ‘disrespect’ on the part of the attacker. because respect no longer means what it once did, a disagreement is often taken as a sign of disrespect instead of what it really is.
Listening to the news report though they make it sound like a murder over gumbo, but I don’t think so
