NOT a Turkey Leg

Thank goodness that urban legend has been surpassed:

  • A shooting that left two men dead at a Roseland restaurant Monday afternoon stemmed from an argument over what kind of cheese was being put on a customer’s sandwich, according to Chicago police.

    A staffer at Momty’s Grill in the first block of East 111th Street began arguing with a customer “who was upset over the type of cheese put on his sandwich,” around 4:10 p.m., according to police reports obtained by the Chicago Sun-Times.

    The employee then called her son because she was upset that the customer was yelling at her, according to the report. When her son got there, as well as a “group of guys,” at least one person hit her son and chased him out of the restaurant, officials said.

    Moments later, gunfire erupted and responding officers found Dexter Williams and Monte Potts on the ground with multiple gunshot wounds, police said.

Cheese. On a sandwich. Two dead.

During our career, we were on the scenes of a number of homicides with strange motives, but never over cheese.

Christmas Eve , 1978 during a big snowstorm two brothers got in a fight over which should go on the tree first the tinsel or the lights. In their anger, they both dove under the tree for the presence. Mama had bought them. Quickly unwrapping their gifts. They got the loaded 38s out at the same time and shot each other dead. When we arrived through the deep snow, mama was on the couch wailing I knew those boys would come to no good.

When I was in Area 4 Homicide, I handled a homicide when the father used a shotgun to kill his son because the son took the last turkey leg. then there was when the family had an argument over the naming of a goldfish. That one resulted in one death in the family. You can't make this stuff up and no one outside the police family will ever believe you.

These are more than claims. You must not be a police officer. There are many studies, from John Jay College to the Justice Department that shows the majority of murders in the US ( most black murders) are the result of personal disputes, not gang violence and not drug territory related. This is how the corrupt and bankrupt inner cityblack culture rolls.
