In a nutshell, guy got pissed that he couldn't get extra chili sause, and shot the store manager of a Wendy's. Now, I know I get quite the temper...but that's just way too far.

[Tyrazial]

Man. That must be some damn good chili sauce.....


I feel bad for that manager.. I think Dairy Queen gets all the weirdo customers...

I live in a small town in British Columbia, on Vancouver Island. We have an annual festival called "Fire And Ice (http://fireandice.mountainmecca.com/default.asp?contentID=1)." Imagine eating chili while watching people ice sculpt. Now imagine crowds. Now imagine almost every store open. Now you got it. (I didn't have to work that day! Whoo!)

It's really, really fun. 'Speshully if you get to hang out with friends. (=3)

Okay. Deriously, we need to have like, a psychological exam to determine if you are ever allowed to hold a gun.

[Khael!]

...Or at least medical screening for past identified disorders. Tell me they at least look at medical history. Please?

[Tyrazial]

Why should they? That could cause them to get sued for being biased.

Psychological or medical history is no predermination for one's responsibility with a gun. I know a guy clinically insane who wouldn't shoot anyone no matter what they did. I know plenty of clinically sane people that should -never- have a gun.

[Flarecobra]

Like me?

Speaking of which...I've got to get back on the range...

[Archbio]

Why should they?

For the same reason they don't give driving licenses to the legally blind.

I'm sure if the screening was reduced to a "Do you like Chili? Yes or No" question risk would be cut by half! Even "Would you kill over Chili?" would be informative.

This is all that needs be said:


YOU JUST GOT PWNED, BITCH


Sorry, but I think it is the only way to exprees my feelings on this.

BOOOO YOUR GUN DEBATES

It's my personal opinion that chili sauce IS THE PROPER issue to get angry over. What with wars raging and the government ripe with corruption, there is only ONE cure to satisfy a man's desire to know that the world is NOT collapsing around him--chili sauce. When that nectar is denied him, all hell SHOULD break loose. We should see marching in the streets and local politicians burned in effigy. If you haven't as much chili sauce as you want, life itself is not worth living!

The vile stew is just another manifestation of entropy. So yes, I suppose if one thought the universal constants were coming apart...

[Great Cartoonist]

It's just hot sauce, for crying out loud. I mean, couldn't he have gone home with the chili and added his own?

[P-Sleazy]

My favorite part was that the manager didn't even know he was shot till about 3 minutes after the fact when he was sitting in his office and he saw blood.

Just hot sauce? JUST HOT SAUCE? Listen to yourself! The world is coming apart and the one ingredient this man needs is ruthlessly DENIED him by corporate policies and bureaucratic red tape. The sheer lunacy of it all! In MY DAY, if you were that Wendy's Manager, you'd thank your lucky stars you were only shot!

You know not every body likes chilli sauce. I for one hate hot stuff but that's IMO. It's not just 'Chilli' sauce that holds the world together. Lemonade holds my world together.

"...Let's see here. Your dad has hereditary schizophrenia and your mom has hereditary bipolar disorder. Here's your gun sir!"

[Loyal]

I'm sure if the screening was reduced to a "Do you like Chili? Yes or No" question risk would be cut by half! Even "Would you kill over Chili?" would be informative.I think the best would be a simple open-response question. This is not a new question, and is in fact commonly asked. The question of the ages, and the next question for gun-approval:

What would you do for a Klondike bar?

Surely if he loved his chili so, he could not but spill his true intentions with the temptation of the frozen treat looming in his thoughts!

[Lord of Joshelplex]

Really, we need to crack down on the gun control. People that are obviously unstable are driving around with guns, for fuck sakes, screen people when they go to get guns.

[delusional_chik]

there's actual legislation somewhere that denies using past medical history for gun control shtuff like this.

[Khael!]

That fills me with such utter disappointment, I think I'll just sit here and weep until my keyboard malfunctions from water damage.

Wait, WHAT!? Which fucktard thoughg that was a good idea. People are shooting employees at drive through restaurants over chili sauce, and dont need to be screned to own a firearm?
