It's That Tasty!

What was assumed to be an "urban legend" has taken on a life of its own:
  • Fights have erupted all over the place with the reintroduction of the Popeyes chicken sandwich, and one altercation left a 28-year-old man dead.

    The man waiting in line at Popeyes in Prince George's County, Maryland Monday night was involved in an altercation when either someone cut in front of him or he cut in front of someone else. They started fighting and it ended outside the chicken joint with the 28-year-old getting stabbed. He died at the hospital.
Regular citizens just assumed coppers made up the story about "turkey leg murders" as some sort of racist trope, but here it is. The linked article above has a couple of stories and at least one video.

Haven't had one yet, but I'm sure it's not worth dying over.

This clearly illustrates the need for a seven day waiting period to buy chicken.

Still nothing from the FOP about another bid unit getting 15 - 1 (due to an off duty incident) = 14 management p/os with 2 years on. Why should they have to wait till a grievance is filed. Also, we are sick of hearing “if you dont like it come to meetings”. No, thats why we pay our dues. We entrust the FOP to do their job. We shouldnt have to watch over your every move. Now either send back these 14 management spots or make sure Mass Transit has 45 bids spots by the end of the calendar year.

Two brothers having breakfast...

One went for the last piece of bacon
only for his sibling to pin his hand
to the table with a fork...

Then?

The family fight kicked-off in earnest.

THEN The Police showed up.

Y'all know the rest...

While I never had a turkey murder, I did have a turkey stabbing when I was a PPO. I had a really hard time keeping a straight face in the old County Hospital ER.

That ain't no news of people of the corn. In Chicago, many brave men and women died trying to get that last pork-chop. People have turned on blood relatives for barn yard birds. pig ears (extra burnt around the lobe), and now Chicken sandwiches which will now be a motive to kill.
Circa - 1978- Seen a brother kill his brother with a knife through the eyeball and out the back of the head for a pork chop from maxwell street with extra onions. Yes, the brother got to eat the pork chop before the police stopped by.
He was one of the nicest guys one would ever want to meet on the westside. The lust of certain meat make men killers. He did only 6 years and lived to have another maxwell street pork chop.
The young bucks of the CPD should read some of the GOCR' of old murders.

I can't believe the the average citizen has had his or her head up their behinds to the point of not noticing the Communities involvement in such herd culling as shooting up the drive up at fast food joint, blasting each other over the color of shoelaces or the ever popular Death by Air Jordans'. The same media that promotes the Gangsta lifestyle for the past 40 years seems to have not gotten through to Ma and Pa libtard and their kumbaya groups apparently. Well maybe shooting a rival over a sandwich will finally be the wake up moment, though I seriously doubt that much could be done with the intellectual vacuum that is the modern Democrat

Never mind the chicken, what better place to take a cell phone movie. Chuckie Cheese comes in a close second. Assholes are going to do what they do wherever they may be.

They can’t make this stuff up...
It never fails and quite amusing to have these community oriented disrespect brawls, Cat 5 melees, shootin’ killins, whatever all captured live on everybody’s cellaphones for later social media distribution and entertainment.
After the spectacle winds down, before everyone scatters, you think someone might have actually called for a bambulance or maybe that’s left up to someone driving by on their way to work. Long enough though so no polices’ were involved to interrupt these diners acting up beforehand.

But...
For a seasoned breaded chicken patty on a bun?
C’mon man !
Now a Big Kahuna Burger and a Sprite, that’s killer.

And...
Turkey Day Massacre...wasn’t there a multiple homicide in 014 late seventies or early eighties in the tenement apartments by the old Congress theatre on Milwaukee Ave?

Well I handled a job in Englewood that was the traditional “stab in the hand over last po-chop.
But I tell ya’ what, I emphasized with grandpa.
These were thick cut chops off the grill with a touch of Mumbo sauce.
Don’t say s**t about Mumbo sauce, I like it.
I tweek it with this and that.
Even with the blood on it that chop looked mighty fine.
Englewood 1978...those were the days although old Rangers said the 60’s were even better.

They were good before it went viral, now its commercialized and put out hastily. No care or concern to properly fry the chicken or put on special sauce (spicy:) and pickles. Not the same and definitelynot worth the wait

Read about all these murders over totally trivial stuff, such as killing over a turkey leg or pork chop or bacon or cheating at cards.

This is the community the powers that be want us, the police, to reach out and connect to.

No thanks.

1. Never meet a woman in the projects.
2. Never chase your hubcap down the Dan Ryan.I
3. If you stop for a J.. Town polish at 3 am on Maxwell Street, never bump the line.
