"A man pulled a gun at a Popeyes restaurant in Houston on Monday, after being told it had run out of the fast-food chain’s insanely popular chicken sandwich.
.......

Restaurant employees told a local TV station that three men, two women and a baby at the drive-through and were told the chicken sandwiches were sold out. One of the men produced a gun, the employees said, and the group left the baby in a vehicle before trying to get inside the building. They were locked out.

“It was more of an aggravated assault because he was displaying a weapon and threatened employees,” Lt Larry Crowson of the Houston PD told ABC13.

The group left the premises in a blue SUV. Police were viewing surveillance video and asking the public for tips."

6. wtf

is wrong with people? Pulling a gun because they ran out of chicken is insane. I had this sandwich a week ago, it's not bad but you get one just as good at Chic-fil-a or Wendy's...

9. Wasn't there an episode of The Boondocks with something like this?

No gun, IIRC, but a lot of people unreasonably upset at a place selling out of their chicken sandwiches.

Of course, that was supposed to be comedic exaggeration about "dumb things people do".

10. Heres a tip ...

Look for a blue SUV type vehicle loaded with drunk rednecks wearing MAGA caps.

[Marengo]

11. Do rednecks usually have dreadlocks?

[lpbk2713]

12. I wouldn't think so.

16. Ah, Trump era consumerism at its' finest!

Don't have what I want to buy? Bam! Gun in the face!

[Tipperary]

18. A trumper with dreadlocks?

Thinking not.

17. Nothing to see here. Just another responsible gun owner exercising his second amendment rights.

Nothing to see here. Just another responsible gun owner exercising his second amendment rights.

Why did this moron think producing a gun was going to suddenly make more sandwiches materialize?
