Days Of (Inflationary) Rage Are Here: Man Goes On Shooting Rampage After Learning Taco Bell Hikes Prices On Beefy Crunch Burrito By 50%
Days Of (Inflationary) Rage Are Here: Man Goes On Shooting Rampage ...
Days of inflatiory rage come to the US:
Police say a San Antonio Taco Bell customer enraged that the seven burritos he ordered had gone up in price fired an air gun at an employee and later fired an assault rifle at officers before barricading himself into a hotel room.
San Antonio police Sgt. Chris Benavides says officers used tear gas Sunday night to force the man from the hotel room after a three-hour standoff. The man is charged with three counts of attempted capital murder. Authorities have not released his name.
Brian Tillerson, a manager at the Taco Bell/KFC restaurant, told the San Antonio Express-News that the man was angry the Beefy Crunch Burrito had gone from 99 cents to $1.49 each.
Police say the man fired on officers during a traffic stop after the restaurant incident.
This is the first example of a domestic shooting incident following the surge in food prices courtesy of just QE Lite and QE 2. Just like in Tunisia, following the self-immolation of a fruit vendor, it will not be the last. And when we finally get QE3, then all bets will be off.

Personally I always thought it would be rather poetic justice if you robbed a McBurger from your car at the drive through window but only demanded ALL of their napkins, straws, and ketchup (the stuff they always screw you out of at the window of course) rather than money.

No, Lili, it's not bad, this is quite funny and it has been going on for as long as I can remember too. We all get stuck in lines at supermarkets, etc because of folks having loud arguments with the cashiers over prices and it does occasionally get violent. And there's been worse incidents at fast food restaurants just because the order was wrong. The trouble is, that was in good times so TheLaserShadow has a point, we will see an escalation of these incidents. The police overreacted by using tear gas. All they had to do was offer him some free Beefy Crunch Burritos to come out of the hotel room - lol.
