That sort of thing ramps up in a situation such as we have now. The lockdown and limited access to normal entertainment outlets for a long period of time makes large numbers of people testy and quarrelsome and random crap happens more and more. The riots are probably partially attributable to that.

He’s just got a good tan, and a prison face. Looks more Italian than black.

Its the wimmin doing this crap, because they’re losing their colective crap being hyped about the overblown virus, losing jobs, having to be around husbands and kids all day, and believing they can attack anyone doing something they dont like, because thats all they see on tv and movies, so they can do it in real life too.

Recently, I was delayed at a Chic-Fil-A. Don’t know why. Cars were moving okay and then like a 15-20 minute delay. When I finally got to the window, I was given an apology and a plastic coupon for either a free chicken sandwich and drink or chicken nuggets and a drink. That has never happened to me before. I thought it was a good customer service technique.

It’s a good question and a fair question but the real answer involves confronting some disturbing home truths about multiple generations who are ill-educated, emotionally incontinent, impatient, lack impulse control, cannot connect cause and effect, and who therefore believe there are no consequences because they cannot conjure them through experience, intelligence or imagination.

Trash culture is a significant and growing portion of all demographic segments. Technology has filtered down to the lowest common denominator meaning the ignorant are as conversant with the world via social media as published writers used to be via books. Trash culture is celebrated, reinforced, perpetuated. Tattoos, TikTok videos, selfies, a life spent in sweat pants.

In those people’s world fast food is a serious thing. It offers stimulus, reinforcement, and a usually reliable timetable even as it’s cheap and non-nutritious. Upsetting their Pavlovian schedule is like tossing someone out of an airplane without a parachute. Disorientation, panic, anger, desperation follow.

The now-common use of potent cannabis, often on a daily basis, has further warped their perception, reactions and permanently altered their brain anatomy and chemistry. Alcohol and opioids are also usually involved.

The result: zombies who may throw random tantrums with deadly results.

“The riots are probably partially attributable to that.”

Maybe. I think 99% of the riots and looting are aimed at destroying Trump, and all living hell will break loose on Nov 4th, after his re-election. SHTF.

“ They’re both murderers, but she instigated the whole thing.”

Kinda like Charlie telling his BLM precursors to go kill some piggies.

Someone please clarify one point for me.
The victim actually left the sanctuary of the restaurant to go out into the parking lot and fight the thug who shot him?
Shaking my head over that, too stupid, right up there with jumping off a bridge on a “Dare”!
Earlier story stated the victim had done some jail or prison time and was working to straiten out his life, surely he should have known better than to get into a “Macho” contest with a burly thug?

Entire situation is disgusting.

if that is a picture of him on the other side of her, he looks Caucasian to me. My eyes are not the best and I could be wrong but he still looks to be of the White persuasion.

She was refunded her money and was ordered to leave, but not before she "threatened to bring her 'man' to the restaurant," the affidavit states.

A real man would tell his “woman” to shut and go home.

If he had they would have had something besides Burger King for dinner and would not be in jail on murder charges.

Obviously Tormes in something other than a real man.

After court is over, time won’t mean a thing to her. Or him.

The victim. Dude is trying to make a living at an honest job and gets killed by a pair of... sorry for the language but sometimes ya gotta call a shovel a shovel... a pair of white trash losers. As far as I'm concerned the only question that needs to be asked at their sentencing is, regular or extra crispy?

“ What’s with people; why do some people have such short fuses, such poor impulse control, especially over something as inconsequential as a hamburger or chicken Mc Nuggets?????? “

they probably aren’t worried about the fast food....they need to feel RESPECTED.

lots of ghetto excuses for violent behavior are about not getting respected

The other day two dummies with axes to grind and obvious mental issues stared each other down at a gas station in KC and one shot the other dead.

Folks have lost their minds over the past few years.

I expect it to get worse as this nation descends further into chaos.

Humans are your worst enemy.
