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.

It would seem so. The bars here close at 2AM so they were just end up in trouble no matter what cause what else are you going to do if you don’t go home after the bar closes?

I thought the Internet would get rid of a lot of stupid bar fights over stuff that could be easily looked up in about a second.

Apparently these clowns could not even do that.

how many eggs a chicken can lay.

Legitimate argument and worthy of a gun fight. So, what was the answer?

“ 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!”

Florida Man would be proud!

Sometimes they can lay two at the same time, one complete egg with a shell inside another with a shell, when their timing is off and the muscles don’t contract in an orderly manner. It isn’t as common as a double yolk in one shell, but but it can happen.
